We see how Dean spent his Sunday night by winning Money in the Bank and then successfully cashing in on Seth Rollins after Seth won the WWE Title.
Dean says last night was a long night in Las Vegas. He says he is not talking about the things he does not remember. There was the security guard and the Cleveland Cavaliers celebration. He says he might have had his foot run over by a cab. Then he did this thing where he climbed a fifteen foot ladder to win Money in the Bank. He might have been bitten by a dog. He also cashed in on Seth Rollins to become the new WWE Champion.
He says that Seth Rollins had a long night last night. He was the right guy at the right place at the wrong time. Dean says he has a lesson of the week. What goes around comes back around. He has another lesson. He says hard work pays off. Busting your ass and keeping it next to the grindstone pays off and it can pay off big. Seth called himself the man and Roman called himself The Guy. Does that make Dean 'the Dude'? Dean says you can call him whatever you want but call him champ.

Roman asks Seth if it did not feel good.
Seth says that at least he did it to Roman's face. He says he never lost the title and he tells Roman to scurry to the back of the line.
Roman asks Seth if he didn't lose the title, why is it on Dean's shoulder.
Seth points out that he said that Dean stole it from him.
Roman says there is an easy way to settle this and he gets in Seth's face.
He says there is nothing to settle between them because he beat him.
Seth is interrupted by Shane McMahon's music and he shuffles on the stage.
Shane congratulates Dean on winning both the Money in the Bank ladder match and successfully cashing it in to become WWE Champion. He says that there is a simple solution to see who faces the champion first. He says that we should have a match between the two of you.
Seth says they had the match last night. Seth asks Shane if he consulted with Stephanie about the match.
Shane talks to invisible Stephanie next to him and she says it is a good idea. He says that Stephanie is not here tonight. With the draft, we are not going to wait until the pay per view or even Smackdown. We are doing it tonight and then Shane does more shuffling.
