Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed
Live in the arena, a drone shot leads us from the concession stand and towards the entrance ramp as Seth’s music hits and out comes Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.
Seth welcomes everyone to Monday Night Rollins. Seth asks the fans what they want as they have been giving him mixed signals. Some fans chant “CM Punk” and Seth tells them “exactly”. He says one minute they are chanting for CM Punk, the next minute it’s OTC, the one after that they are barking for the dog and after that, they are singing his song.
Seth tells them they have no idea what they want and he doesn’t care about what they want. Seth tells them they don’t know what is good for them, so they need people like him to tell them what is good for them. Seth says he wants to try an experiment.
He says even the things they think they want are because of him. He says Roman Reigns exists because of him. CM Punk says he came back to WWE because the fans chanted his name? Seth says CM Punk is back in WWE because this company wanted to cash in on how much Seth hates CM Punk. And that is the truth. Cody Rhodes, the American Nightmare. Seth says there is no second coming of Cody unless he is there to put him on the map. World Championship, he was the first. NXT Championship, he was the first. Those things exist as they are because he built them in his image. He is the creator, he is the past, the present and this is the future of this company.
Seth puts his arm around Heyman and says they know a thing or two about revolutions. Seth says every revolution faces opposition and he will deal with that diplomatically until that opposition pushes him and forces his hand. And that is what happened to LA Knight.
Seth says LA Knight stuck his nose in their business and he got a Tsunami, after Tsunami, after Tsunami for his troubles. And in a few minutes time, his dog Bron Breakker has an opportunity to do the same thing to another person who has been a thorn in their side, Penta. Seth says there are a lot of people who think they have what it takes to exist at the very top. Champions like John Cena and Gunther, their respective challengers CM Punk, Goldberg. Or those left in the King of the Ring, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso and Randy Orton. But what they fail to understand is that they are all running a race for second place. Seth points to the Money in the Bank briefcase and says that is the finish line, the end game. It has and always will be Seth Freakin’ Rollins.
Penta’s music hits and out he comes to the ring.
