Roman looks around as he tries to remember his line.   Roman asks Los Angeles . . . 

Seth Rollins' music interrupts and he makes his way to the ring.

Seth wants Los Angeles to acknowledge him and Seth points his finger in the air.

Seth says guilty.  He says he is the bad guy.  When it comes to them, he is the bad guy and that is fine wit him.  That is how he gets his.  Some of us get everything handed to them on a silver platter.  Some start on third base.  Some have to grind to survive.  You are everything you say you are and everything this company wants you to be.  You are all of those things and you have an edge on him in so many departments.  There is one thing you will never be better than him at and that is professional wrestilng.

Roman tells Seth he doesn't get it and he doesn't understand.  Roman says he is the only real superstar and he is the only true champion.   He needs to beat Seth and he needs his family to see him win.  Everyone needs him to best Seth.  

Seth says it is funny the things we need.  You need this redemption so bad.  Seth says when he suckered him into this match a month ago, you said something that stuck with him.  You said you needed your family to be there to see it.  Seth says it reminded him of Wrestlemania 31 when he cashed in and sent Roman's family home in tears. Seth says he hopes Roman's family is there on Sunday because there is nothing more for him than to see them cry again.  When they find out their daddy is a fraud.  When their daddy is a loser.  Their daddy will always be Seth Rollins' bitch.

Roman punches Seth and kicks him.  Roman with more punches and he hits a Superman punch.  Roman with a spear to Seth.  Seth gets back to his feet and Roman goes to the floor to get a chair.  

Roman taks too long to get back into the ring and Seth with Black Out onto the chair.
