While Seth makes his way to the ring, Cole rejoins Wade at the announce table.

Seth says he has to hand it to Nakamura.  He played it to perfection.  You set him up and knocked him out.  All in the name of the World Championship.  That seems too obvious.  You aren't telling us the entire truth.  Seth says he is not hard to find.  Seth says every week, he stands in the center of this ring, dressed to the nines with the title around his waist while the world sings his song.

Seth says he is a fighting champion.  Until last week, he had the utmost respect for Nakamura.  All you had to do was ask for a title match.  You didn't ask.  You kicked him in the face.  Everyone has been asking Why Shinsuke?  

Seth says he is less concerned with why and more concerned with how he can get even.  Seth says he has a surprise.  You win.  Seth says the best way to get what he wants is to give Nakamura what he wants.  If your ambush was a challenge, then challenge accepted.  Seth cackles and then says they will meet for the title.  He tells Nakamura to name the time and place and he will be there to kick his ass.
