We are back and Seth Rollins is in the ring dancing with himself.
Seth says you know him and you know that he is not the kind of person to come out here and toot their own horn. He has come out here with a purpose. While I am here, I want to tell you I am on top of the world. Last week, I defeated three top tier talents to earn a title match. It feels good. It feels right. It is his show. it is Monday Night Rollins. I was drafted here to be the face of Monday night. You are looking at the next WWE Champion.
Before Seth can peruse the contract, the WWE Champion Big E makes his way to the stage.
Big E tells Seth he came out here last week to congratulate him on winning one heck of a ladder match. Instead of shaking my hand, you laughed in my face and slinked off like you were the Pink Panther. Big E says he talked to his aunt and she told him not to let him bother you.
Seth says that he was asking for a title match but you said that I had to earn it, like you didn't know who I am. After I won the match, you refused to shake my hand. I lost a lot of respect for you. You have been a fine champion with quality wins over Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre. Seth says he is a fan of a Money in the Bank cash in. You are not on my level. We are going to fight for that title. You don't want the responsibility of being champion so you can hand me that title and hang out with your friends and be a joke.
Big E tells Seth to respect the King and he tells Seth he will not let Seth disrespect one of the greatest moment in Wrestlemania history. I will give you everything you want. Seth Rollins versus Big E for the WWE Championship . . . TONIGHT.
Seth tells Big E to slow it down and back it up. He tells Big E to think about it. You don't want to see that. Seth says he wants to get this straight. You want to see Big E defend his title against him tonight? Of course you do. You all know that I am not 100 percent after the ladder match last week and then he had the Hell in a Cell match before that. There is no way that match happens tonight. It happens on my terms when I am one hundred percent.
Kevin Owens comes out.
Kevin says he does not care how Seth feels. He was listening to you talk about being the face of Raw. Big E, you are the champion. Seth, you are a delusional dumbass. The proof is that suit. Kevin says Bianca said she is the Face of Raw. Becky is saying the same thing. There is a face that people are forgetting. He says he is the Face of Raw. I should be considered the Face of Raw. You won last week, but people weren't talking about you winning the ladder match. People were talking about my performance. Every time I walk into the ring, I give everything and leave it all in the ring. It didn't work out for me last week. It hasn't worked for me in a while. When I tell people to keep fighting, it is what I believe. I will get back up and dust myself off and I will keep fighting.
It might be for 3 more months or 3 more years. Every time I am on Raw, I will do whatever I can to give the WWE Universe something to remember. If you are not going to face Big E tonight, get out of the ring. Kevin says people will remember you and me, one-on-one for the first time, tonight.
Seth says that is a great idea.
Big E says there can be only one face of Raw because this isn't Mount Rushmore. We have never done this before, one-on-one. Big E says it is on.
