Dean Ambrose makes his way to the ring and he will be telling us the stipulation for his match with Seth Rollins at SummerSlam. We see footage from Rollins’ match against Heath Slater.
Dean says on Raw, the Authority thought they held all of the cards. They had their Beat the Clock Challenge in the bag, but the Authority realized that you cannot plan for Dean Ambrose. Since he outsmarted the ‘architect’, he gets to choose the stipulation for his match against his brother, his buddy, his friend.
Dean says that he has some ideas. JBL’s hat on a Pole Match. Coal Miner’s Glove Match. What about alligators around the ring? That wouldn’t work. A sumo match. A boxing match. Fight in the parking lot. Good housekeeping Match. Loser washes Triple H’s car Match, but that wouldn’t work since Seth probably does that already.
Seth Rollins makes his way to the stage. He tells Ambrose to cut the crap. When they were in the Shield, everyone knows that Dean was the unstable one while Seth was the brains of the operation. After his antics on Monday, he has to give Dean a little credit. That was pretty clever. It has been a long week, so let’s cut to the chase.
He heard the cockamamie stipulations but Seth says that he knows what Dean wants.
Dean introduces Seth Rollins for everyone. He says the briefcase is looking a little rough and maybe it could use some detailing or a buff and shine.
Seth tells Dean that his problem is that he thinks with his heart and not his head. People appreciate that, but it will only get you so far. Seth says that it won’t beat him at SummerSlam. If you use your head half as much as your heart, you will realize that SummerSlam is the end for you.
Dean says not this time. Seth Rollins will be stuck in the ring with nowhere to run. If you try to escape, there will be a wall . . . a wall of bodies. There will be a wall of enemies who they have gone through during their time as part of the Shield. Dean says that you can call this a Lumberjack Match. You can call it a Human Cage or Wall of Flesh, but this will be the end of the line for Seth Rollins. That is the day Mr. Money in the Bank goes broke.
Seth says that he is not going anywhere because no matter what happens at SummerSlam, he still has the briefcase. That makes him the future of this company.
Seth tells Dean that he got to choose the stipulation at SummerSlam, but the Authority has given him the power to choose Dean’s opponent tonight on Smackdown. Seth says that he picked someone so merciful that they are capable of . . .
We see a video package of what Dean’s opponent tonight did to Roman Reigns. Dean will be facing Randy Orton.
