Only adding to the chaos that Mick Foley and Stephanie McMahon have to deal with on Raw, Rusev is out next with Lana to cause more problems. Teaming with Charlotte last time out, the Bulgarian was left with egg on his face in a defeat to the team of Roman Reigns and Sasha Banks.

Unwilling to take the blame for such a loss, Rusev blames Charlotte for tapping out. He reasons that he had the match well in hand, and things would have been different had he been flying solo. Another who is frustrated over what has happened lately, Rusev says he wants Reigns to come out and face him like a man.

That's when Mick Foley could come out on to the entrance ramp. The General Manager of Raw says that he's very much in charge, not Rusev, and therefore he will call the shots. As Reigns makes his way out onto the stage, Foley keeps him at bay and says he has already scheduled another match for Roman.

Chris Jericho had come to Mick earlier in the evening looking to make a statement of his own, so it'll be Roman Reigns vs. Y2J next.
