We are in Atlanta, Georgia and your announcers are Michael Cole, John Layfield, and Byron Saxton.
We see the compacted version of the Cadillac.
Brock Lesnar’s music plays and that means it is time for him to bounce around while he makes his way to the ring with Paul Heyman.
The crowd chants ‘Suplex City’ and Paul waits to do his introduction. He reminds us that he is the advocate for the Cadillac Crushing, J&J Conquering, Badass Avenger who on Sunday makes Seth Rollins pay for his sins. The Beast of Battleground BROCK LESNAR.
He says he doesn’t know about you but his heart is pounding through his chest. It is not because he is fat, but it is because history will be made in six days. You will have the opportunity to see this beast BROCK LESNAR enter the ring as a challenger. How many times have you seen Brock Lesnar as a challenger? When he was a rookie, he walked into the ring as challenger and he victimized Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and walked out the WWE Champion. When Brock went to UFC, he walked into the octagon as a challenger, but when he faced Randy Couture, he walked out as the champion. At SummerSlam, he walked into the ring as a challenger, but what happened to John Cena? Eat, sleep, suplex, repeat. Brock walked out the champion and he would be the champion today if it was not for that revolting, sneaky slimy Seth Rollins.
This Sunday night, he doesn’t beg or plead a lot, but circle the date on your calendar. Sunday, July 19th, Brock will walk into the ring a challenger, but he will not walk out of the ring the same way. You are going to get beat up. You are going to get your ass kicked by Brock Lesnar. You are going to be suplexed by Brock Lesnar. You are going to be F-5ed by Brock Lesnar. You are going to be pinned by Brock Lesnar. When Brock has his foot on your chest, Brock will raise the title belt and he will . . .
Seth Rollins’ music plays and he comes out with Back from Vacation Kane.
Seth asks Brock if he is real proud of himself and he asks if this makes him happy. Seth says that he cannot wait until Sunday when he wipes that smile off your stupid face. He gave Brock every opportunity last week to come out like a man, but you were a coward. You took out your frustration on an inanimate object. It was not any inanimate object, it was a gift he gave to his friends. Seth says he is still shaken up over it.
Seth says what is worse is you parade it around like it is a trophy. You make it a symbol of what you think I am going to look like after Battleground. Seth says the title belt is his trophy. Seth says he is everything right about WWE. Brock is a thug and a criminal. Seth says he is going to take a trip to Suplex City. He is bringing the matches and gasoline and he is going to burn Suplex City to the ground.
Brock tells Seth he can take him to Suplex City tonight . . . bitch.
Kane says that he can see that tensions are high. There will be a contract signing later tonight for their match at Battleground. As Director of Operations, he will ensure that this contract signing will go smoothly and that there will not be any chaos. Brock Lesnar versus Seth Rollins is what is best for business.
Kane tells Paul that if his client does anything . . .
Paul asks Kane if he is going to threaten him. Paul says that it looks like they are going to be threatened by the Undertaker’s baby brother. Paul apologizes and he asks if he was not supposed to say that? Paul says that he was not supposed to mention that Brock conquered your brother’s undefeated streak at Wrestlemania. Paul says this is a wonderful idea. His client, the beast, the conqueror BROCK LESNAR in a contract signing. What could go wrong in that scenario?
Paul says that Brock will come to the signing with peace, love, and understanding as long as Seth does not violate the Eleventh Commandment. If Seth does, Suplex City comes to Atlanta, GA.
