WWE RAW REPORT: STREET FIGHT, YOU WON'T LIKE KAISER WHEN HE IS ANGRY, DREW AND PUNK, RHEA AND NIA?, TAG TITLE MATCH, AND MORE

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

Seth welcomes everyone to Raw.  Seth says we are almost at The Royal Rumble and then it is the Road to Wrestlemania.  Seth says his Wrestlemania track record is pretty good.  He won a few titles and had a cash in.  There is one thing he has never done at Wrestlemania.  He never took a World Title into Wrestlemania.  He says he has never been on the marquee.  This is the year of Seth Rollins.  He says he worked too hard and too long.  He took a title that did not exist a year ago and he made it the most important prize in this industry.  Seth says he did it the way he said he would.  He said he would be a fighting champion and a workhorse champion.  

Seth says the work is not done.  He says he has one little question.  Who is he going to beat at the grandest stage of them all?  

Seth responds to the chants and says in his dreams.  The Raw roster is so full of talent . . . 

Jinder Mahal interrupts and he makes his way to the ring.

Jinder says of course you are out here singing your own praises.  Jinder asks how is it possible in five minutes he became more of a revolutionary than Seth in five years.  You come out here and promote degeneracy.  Jinder tells the people of Portland to look at their city.  The World Champion, the man with the platform.  You instill no change and speak no truth.  You come out and dress up.  You bring no value.  You throw childish temper tantrums when things don't go your way.

You pride yourself as a workhorse and provide opportunity, except against a tenured former WWE Champion.  Jinder says Seth has the audacity to overlook him.  Jinder reminds Seth he beat Randy Orton and he did it with ease.  You disrespect him and overlook him?  This disrespect will not be tolerated.  Jinder says he has known Seth for a long time and he sees through this charade.  Jinder tells Seth to tell him he has his attention.

Seth says he may say something that surprises Jinder.  They have been overlooking JInder.  Seth says it wasn't an accident.  They have been doing it on purpose and it worked until last week when the Rock put your balls in a vise.  You stood back up and you came back.  Seth says he does not respect Jinder ruining their party and getting in Seth's face.  You have his attention.  If you are sick of being overlooked?  You want to do something that you will be remembered forever for?  He tells Jinder to take a swing.

Jinder does nothing and Seth says that is what he thought.  Same older Jinder.
