By Richard Trionfo on 2016-08-08 23:09:00

We are back and Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring to talk.

Seth says the New Era is upon us and it has been quite the learning experience.  Even the great Seth Rollins has learned a thing or two.  Seth mentions Finn Balor, his SummerSlam opponent.  He followed Finn's career and he knew a lot about him.  He knew that Finn was a cheap knockoff of himself.  Finn is the Jared Leto to his Heath Ledger.  Seth says he was forced to re-evaluate his opinion of Finn Balor.

We take a look back at Seth and Finn from last week.

So Finn is athletic and agile.  We knew that.  He is an effective striker, but a normal man would still be out on the mat after that attack, but Seth is not a normal man.  Seth says he does not want to talk about himself because we all know how great he is.  He wants to talk about Finn Balor.  

Seth says Finn Balor is not his real name.  He combined other words to come up with Finn Balor.  Seth says to call yourself Famous Warrior Demon King would be like calling yourself Rambo Apocalyse.  Now that we know what his name means, he wants to know more about Finn.  He says Finn is one of the most disrespectful people he ever met.  Seth says that this is his show and his ring.  Finn got right in his face and talked to him like an arrogant person.  Finn told Seth he was going to beat him for the WWE Universal Title.  You have won two matches in WWE and the people you beat are no joke, but they are no Seth Rollins.

You disrespect him with your arrogance and ignorance.  Finn told Seth the title opportunity was handed to him, but Seth reminds us that he came back from a career threatening injury in record time to win the WWE Title.  Seth says he is not arrogant because he knows his place in the WWE.  Right at the very top.  He is not ignroant because he does not need to surround himself with myth and legend and smoke and mirrors.  Seth says he is the myth, the legend, and the man.

In two hundred years when people sit with the children around the fire, they will talk about Seth riding in on his horse to slay the Demon.  They will talk about him destroying the Roman Empire.  He will add to his legend when he beats Finn Balor to become the first WWE Universal Champion.

We take a look back at the return of Brock Lesnar last week and Randy Orton crossing the line onto Raw to attack Lesnar.

We go to commercial.
