We begin with Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman making their way to the ringand Brock with the Brock Bounce on the stage and in front of the ring before he enters.
We see the announcement of Brock as Seth Rollins’ opponent at Battleground.

You may want to know why Raw has not survived without the Beast Incarnate. We take a look at what happened the last time Brock got his hands on someone on Monday Night Raw.
We see the footage of Brock attacking everyone leading to his suspension.
There is no mystery or cliffhanger here. The question was very simple. How did I negotiate Brock’s return to WWE? They don’t need his money. What they want from an unrepentant beast is an apology. Not in private or in writing. It is an apology in public, right here, right now, tonight.
Paul says that if Brock does not apologize to Michael Cole and JBL, he will not be allowed to return to WWE and he will not get his title match against Seth Rollins at Battleground.
Michael says it is not necessary but John says it is.

Brock goes to Michael and he smirks at him and then Brock walks around the table. Michael starts to mumble something and then Brock offers his hand and he gives Michael a noogie and he asks Michael if they are good and Michael says they are good.
Paul says that his client has complied with the terms and conditions of his return to WWE. Paul asks if they have accepted his apology. Paul says that he would like to make a public apology in advance for what his client is going to do to that slinky, slimy, disgusting, repulsive, repugnant, rotten, sick, parasite Seth Rollins. The champion who won the title from the challenger. The golden boy of NXT, the first NXT Champion. He was protected in NXT by everyone. He was protected by the Shield and then the Authority. He sold his long term soul for the short term gain of winning the WWE World Title in 2015.
That was until the day the Authority decided to sacrifice the future of the WWE to the conqueror is what is BEAST for Business. Seth Rollins, on July 19th, you may think you are flying into Battleground in St. Louis, you have a one way trip, all expenses paid to Suplex City . . . Bitch. Those accommodations are not from Mr. McMahon and his billions. Not from J&J Security, who beat you, Kane, who wants to eat your or the WWE Universe who want to see you lose, they are from the beast and the future WWE Champion of the World, Brock Lesnar.
