We are back and it is time for the new Intercontiental Champion Dean Ambrose to make his way to the ring.
Dean tells the security to get into position to make sure Seth Rollins does not do anything to him.
Dean says the more things change, the more they stay the same. You disgusting people should be showing him respect. Everything that he said would happen at TLC happened. Seth Rollins spun out of control. Seth Rollins dropped the ball and he choked. He failed. He failed himself and he failed all of you. Dean says he doesn't need respect from you because he has the title.
Seth used to have two titles and now he has none. He has taken what is most important to Seth and he is not done. He will make sure that Seth has nothing left. He will take Seth's career and reputation as a great guy and drag it through the mud and put it in the gutter where it belongs. Dean says he is the moral compass of WWE and has an obligation to give Seth an opportunity to be a man of honor and integrity to come out and say that he was right.
Seth does not come out and Dean suggests an open challenge, not for the title. Maybe you want to come out and punch him in the face a few times.
Dean says that Seth is no hero, he is a whiner like all of you and when things don't go his way, he crumbles.
Dean says since Seth does not have the guts to come out and Dean says he will make an Open Challenge for anyone in the back, not named Seth Rollins.
