We are in San Antonio, Texas and your announcers are Michael Cole, Booker T, and John Layfield.
We begin with Triple H making his way to the ring with Stephanie McMahon, Seth Rollins, Joey Mercury, Jamie Noble, and Kane and they have one thing in common. No one his holding the WWE title belt.
Stephanie introduces the WWE Champion, Seth Rollins. Just because Dean Ambrose stole the WWE title, it does not make him the champion.
Stephanie says that Dean is more like a kleptomaniac. He stole the Title belt, he stole the contract, he stole the Intercontinental title belt, and he was arrested for assault. Dean is not WWE Champion material. What are we going to do?
Should we fine Dean? Should we suspend Dean? Should we get rid of Dean Ambrose altogether?
Hunter says we are not going to have to do that. While Dean Ambrose might be crazy, he is not stupid. Dean was given until the start of Raw to give back what is not yours. You can climb out of your hole in the back and bring the WWE Title belt with you and return it to the champion and then we can discuss what happens after that.
Hunter tells the crowd to stop with the Justin Bieber chants for Rollins and he yells at Dean to get his ass out here now. <>P> Roman Reigns’ music plays and he appears in the crowd and makes his way to the ring.
Roman says it doesn’t look like the Authority is happy to see him, but it sounds like San Antonio is. Roman says Dean is not stupid and he is not here. Roman says Dean may never come back . . . unless at Money in the Bank, he gets a rematch. He does not want any rematch, he wants a ladder match for his rematch. This way there is no confusion. Whoever has the title will be the WWE Champion.
Stephanie says she is not going to negotiate with a low life miscreant like Dean or Roman.
Roman reminds Stephanie that the miscreant beat him last night.
Stephanie says he stole the title. Roman says Dean hit Dirty Deeds and pinned him.
Seth says that he is still the champion.
Roman points out that Dean beat ya, Roman reminds Seth that he beat him. Now Seth is with his mom and dad and he has the tiniest security detail. Roman says that Seth might be the worst champion ever.
Seth tells Roman to tell Dean he has his rematch.
Stephanie tries to calm down Seth, but Seth says the match is on. Seth says at Money in the Bank, he will prove to Dean, Roman, and everyone that he does not need anyone’s help. He does not need J&J, he does not need a seven foot piece of crap, he does not need the Authority. He will prove who the undisputed WWE champion really is.
Seth leaves the ring.
Stephanie tells Roman he can wipe that stupid and smug look off his face. She is interrupted by Hunter and Hunter wants to know who he is and Hunter says that he is Roman Reigns. He is one of the participants in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. The match where you can grab a contract good for a match for the WWE Title. You remember that contract? When Seth destroyed your hopes and dreams with that contract? Don’t ya? Hunter says he remembers that too. You are in the Money in the Bank Ladder match . . . maybe. You don’t have to be in that match. Maybe you won’t be after tonight. If you lose tonight, you are out of the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. You lose your hopes and dreams. So there is no drawn out anticipation, Hunter tells Roman he will go to the back and find an opponent for him right now.
