Roman Reigns and The Usos reunite with Solo Sikoa in an embrace before Reigns sends a direct message to 946.

“That's how simple it is, baby. I told y'all we ain't hiding. You know exactly where to find me. I'm either on the bus or I'm in my locker room. I fear no man. I fear no faction, no gang, no clique, no nothing. 946, 850, 945, 305, it don't matter to me, baby. We can take it all the way from Miami to Atlanta. I'll whoop your asses along with the Bloodline in any city. You heard Jey. You heard the right-hand man. We up in your city now.”

Hal Steinbrenner was asked if championship-or-bust is still realistic after 17 years: "That is our mission. That is our goal. Yes, we failed at the goal this year, but that is always our goal, which is why we put so much effort and resources into the roster every offseason to field a team that can accomplish that. And I certainly believe we had that team this year. It just didn't pan out."
