Seth Rollins kicks off the show, walking out solo. I hope that phasing out J&J and Kane is a permanent move. We see a recap of Seth breaking the nose of Cena on Raw. The crowd chants “you tapped out”
Seth: So what?! Those are two words I’ve been hearing day in and day out from each and every one of you fools! I single-handedly forced John Cena to put the Authority back in power. What do you all say? So what?! I became the first man ever to cash in at the main event of Wrestlemania, and what do I hear? So what. At Battleground I stood toe to toe with the Beast Brock Lesnar, did exactly what I said I would do, walked out as champion and all I hear is “so what?” A man can only take so much and this past Monday on Raw, I reached my breaking point. The unfortunate victim of my rage was John Cena. I sent him to the emergency room with a broken nose. I pummeled him until his nose was across his face! In case you forget watch! *we see footage from Raw* What I did to Cena was gruesome, but at the same time kind of beautiful in a way. I turned Cena’s face into a Picasso painting….
Cesaro‘s music hits and he walks out with a mic.
Seth: Hey I wasn’t finished!
Cesaro: I know, I know you were just going to go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about how great you think you are, like you do every week. But see, by talking about your match, you left out the best part, when Cena made you tap out.
Seth: Nah nah nah nah, you got that all wrong, Cena didn’t make me tap out. That was a strategic move, I have better things to worry about than John Cena’s little United States title.
Cesaro: You didn’t tap out? You keep telling yourself that, champ. And since you and I have a rematch, I’ll see you later tonight.
Seth: Go on, get! This is my ring, get out of here!
Cesaro: Unless, you know since you’re here, and I’m here. How about I make you tap out right now!

Backstage JoJo asks Sheamus what triggered him to take down Randy Orton on Raw.
Sheamus: Triggered? There was no trigger, Randy thought he showed me up at Battleground. This isn’t over, not by a long shot. I’m tired of all the underdogs, trying to win over the WWE Universe. They’re plucky, I get it. Randy Orton may fancy himself a real man, but when fantasy meets reality and my Brogue Kicks his face there will be only one real man left standing. Now before you think I’m the bad guy in all this, Randy Orton was the one that said he’d be waiting for me to cash in my Money in the Bank contract and become the next WWE World Heavyweight Champion. That’s why I keep attacking, why I will continue taking him down. Until I have nothing to worry about. Think about it, WWE without Randy Orton. That’s like a rose without a thorn, a blue sky without a cloud, like Oklahoma without Tulsa. It’s a dream come true, and I am entertained.
