We are in Tulsa, Oklahoma and your announcers are Tom Phillips, Jerry Lawler, and Jimmy Uso.

Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring.

Seth looks very smug despite the result of the match on Monday night. He says so what? Those are two words he has been hearing day in and day out from all of you ignorant fools. Seth says he single handedly forced John Cena to put the Authority back in power and all he heard was ‘so what’. He became the first man ever to cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase in the main event of Wrestlemania and all he heard was ‘so what’. At Battleground, he stood toe to toe with the Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar and he did what he said he would do. He walked in as champion and walked out as champion and all he heard was ‘so what’.

Seth says a man can only take so much. This past Monday on Raw, he reached his breaking point. The unfortunate victim of his rage was John Cena. He sent John to the emergency room with a broken nose. Seth says he pummeled and pummeled and unloaded on John Cena until his nose was smashed sideways along his face. We see the footage from Raw.

We see photos of Cena’s nose after Raw.

Seth says what he did to John Cena was gruesome. At the same time, it was kind of beautiful in a way. It was kind of heavenly, divine. It was like a piece of work. It was Michelangelo sculpting but on pscyhadelic mushroom. His face was like a Picasso and Seth says that he is an artiste.

Cesaro comes out and Seth yells at him because he was not finished.

Cesaro says that Seth was going to go 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. Cesaro says that Seth followed the best part of the match on Raw . . . when John Cena made you tap out.

Seth says that Cena did not make him tap out, it was a strategic move because he has more to worry about than John Cena’s little title.

Cesaro tells Seth that he can think about that and he will see Seth later tonight when they have their rematch.

Seth tells Cesaro to get out of his ring . . .

Cesaro stops before leaving the ring and he says that since he is here and Seth is here, he makes Seth tap out right now.

He came back to WWE and he dealt with the underdogs and wee little men who tried to get the WWE Universe behind them on being plucky and entertaining.

Sheamus says he did it because he is a real man. Orton might think he is a real man, but when fantasy meets reality and his Brogue meets Orton’s face and he is the last man standing, he will be the last real man standing in the WWE.

When he sees a threat he gets rid of them. That is why he has been making these attacks. They will not stop until Randy Orton is no longer in the WWE.
