We begin with Triple H making his way to the ring.
Hunter says that there is a lot of controversy in the WWE right now. People are asking questions. Why would we strip Daniel Bryan of the WWE Championship? If you need to ask that question, then you need to take a look at this, and we see the comments by Dr. Maroon. Hunter says that if you still don’t understand why? Here is the reason. It is because of the people. Because of you and you and you, you are the reason why Daniel Bryan is no longer the WWE Championship (sic). Quite frankly, you deserve better. You deserve a champion who can actually defend that championship.
This is an exciting time in the WWE. It is a time when magic happens. That is why we are having a ladder match to determine who can grasp that brass ring. Four of the biggest superstars have already qualified. Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, Cesaro, and Randy Orton.
Three more men will have the opportunity to qualify to try to reach greatness. It is not very often when he can guarantee when magic can happen or when history will be made. At Money in the Bank, history will be made. A moment you will never forget is going to happen. Hunter guarantees that a new WWE World Champion will be crowned.
With that being said, there is another controversy. Hunter shows us the end of the Shield.
Hunter brings out the future of the WWE, Seth Rollins.
Hunter tells Seth that we already know why he did it, but Hunter wants to know how did it feel.
Seth says that is an interesting question. When he stood in the ring and had the chair in his hand and he took a step back and swung as hard as he could to hit Roman Reigns, there was a stillness and clarity. Then he struck his brother. He saw Dean Ambrose trying to figure out what happened and then he hit Dean too.
The feeling that he had was a power that he cannot describe. It was a feeling that he never felt in his life. It was a power that Roman and Dean will never feel because they were successful only because of him. The people in the crowd will not know this power. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose are destined for mediocrity. Your entire lives, you will sit in the same place and do the same thing without accomplishing your goals. You don’t have the guts to do what he did last Monday.
You know who understands that power? Triple H understands. He understands more than anybody what it takes to get to the top. You cannot sit idly by. You have to strike while the iron is hot and make your opportunities. Seth says that his goal is to be the best who ever stepped foot in the ring. He would not hesitate to step over his friends to get to be the best.
Seth says that he adapted and he evolved. What you are looking at is the Evolution of Seth Rollins. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose are dead weight and he did what he had to do. He cut them loose.
Seth says that you have to create your own opportunities, but he wants to thank a man who helped him create this specific opportunity. Seth thanks Triple H for helping to create this opportunity.
Dolph Ziggler comes out to the stage and he congratulates Seth. He wants to be the first to congratulate Seth for being a self serving scumbag traitor. Everyone knows someone who either stabbed them in the back, found the loophole to get around something, or took every short cut to get ahead.
Every time he steps in the ring, he has a chip on his shoulder to show everyone how damn good he is at this. Dolph tells Seth that he is going to wipe that smug look off your face and he will cram that arrogance down his tiny giraffe neck because tonight he is going to show the world what it means to be a WWE Superstar. He is going to do it without an egomaniacal boss holding his hand.
He tells Seth to sharpen that knife because he is going to need it.
We go to commercial.
