However, according to WrestleVotes, WWE made important late adjustments to the segment.

Original plans had things playing out differently than what we ultimately saw on screen.”
Details of the scrapped version remain unkown. the aired segment saw Pearce reclaim the championship belt from Breakker, who had been displaying it as he and Reed turned on Rollins the previous week. Paul Heyman attempted to manage the situation, delivering a promo to maintain momentum for his clients despite the sudden creative shift.
