Seth Rollins, Baron Corbin, Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens In-Ring Segment: 

Seth Rollins feels alive tonight. We’ve entered a new era for the Universal Championship. This is the year of choice and the locker room has three choices when it comes to the title. If they want to take it, they can try to outwrestle him, that’s not going to happen. They can come out to fight him for it. They can try it the hard way. Just ask Brock Lesnar how that worked out? Brock has been in WWE since 2002 and no one has ever delivered the beating he suffered at WWE Super ShowDown. It felt pretty damn good laying this chair into Brock and leaving him in a heap. Baron Corbin appears on the stage. Rollins is too fixated on Brock Lesnar. Corbin says that he’s the best thing going on in San Jose. Rollins needs to worry about him. Corbin will focus on Brock Lesnar after he captures the Universal Title at WWE Stomping Grounds.

How did things work out for Corbin at Super Showdown? That incompetent referee John Cone cost him the match. Rollins escaped Jeddah with that title around his waist.  Corbin learned a few things as Acting General Manager. He’s been in meetings with WWE executives and that official will be severely punished. Corbin was granted his rematch at Stomping Grounds. There will be a special guest referee and Corbin will hand pick that official. Rollins says it doesn’t matter who Corbin chooses because he’ll still be The Universal Champion. How will Corbin have a special guest referee when he doesn’t have any friends?

Sami Zayn joins the conversation. Much to the dismay of the WWE Universe in San Jose, Zayn is on Team Corbin on this one. Zayn has known Rollins for a long time and he cares about him as a person. Rollins behavior over the last few weeks has indicated one particular thing. The Universal Championship is not good for Seth Rollins. He’s caught up in this repetitive cycle with Brock Lesnar. It’s this toxic masculinity and they’re both trying to protect their massive egos. It would be better if Baron Corbin was Universal Champion. Why is Zayn out here unless there’s something for him?

Corbin understands how this toxic cesspool works. If someone helps Corbin out, then Corbin will help that person. The truth has come through. Corbin found the one idiot who has his back. Who will have Zayn’s back when Rollins comes up to kick his ass? Ladies and gentlemen, the wild card rule is in full effect. Owens has Zayn’s back. Owens also agrees that Baron Corbin would be a better Universal Champion than Rollins. Owens doesn’t appreciate the way that Rollins is talking to his best friend. Is Owens going to do something about it? Since Owens is a wild card, whatever that means, he will come to the ring and do something about it. Tonight’s main event will be Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens.

Michael Cole’s Interview with Becky Lynch and Lacey Evans 

Cole was about to ask Becky a question, but she immediately gets cut off by Evans. Where Evans comes from, ladies goes first, but if chivalry is dead in WWE, by all means continue. If Evans is done talking about pageantry, let’s talk about her tapping out at Money In The Bank. For someone who talks so much but says so little, Evans has a problem with facts. Evans should’ve won because she’s bigger, faster, and stronger than her. Becky won’t let someone like Evans to be the template. Becky doesn’t know a damn thing about Evans. Like Becky, Evans has done what she needed to get where she is and she won’t stop until she gets the title.

Dirt and gold is the found in the same exact place, that doesn’t make it equal. Evans position in WWE doesn’t upset the champ. However, Evans costing the champ the SmackDown Women’s Title pissed her off. She’s very relentless. Evans says that it was a cute speech. Evans doesn’t put stock in The Man’s bravado. It’s all a mask. It’s not Becky’s obsession with the title, it’s fear of losing it all and sinking back into obscurity. Evans can smell the fear on Becky. That fear will come true when Becky loses her title. Becky2Belts will become Becky No Belts. Becky says that she will slap Evans and beat her again. Evans has no time to argue sweetheart.

Miz TV With Special Guest: Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley, Ricochet and Cesaro 

Welcome to the most must see WWE talk show in history, Miz TV. Miz brings out the brand new WWE United States Champion, Samoa Joe. Joe says that Miz is pushing the wrong narrative. He’s not the new United States Champion. Rey Mysterio stole his title and Joe was given the chance to win it back. Really? We see a clip of Joe choking out Mysterio. Mysterio did the right thing because of a shoulder injury. Mysterio was a gentleman and Joe still applied the Coquina Clutch. Yea, so? Thanks for the in-depth answer. Joe also threatened Mysterio’s son, Dominic. Involving another man’s family is a line you don’t cross unless you want to get called out. Joe is a habitual line stepper? Well, those lines belong to that set parent. When it comes to getting what he wants, there’s no such thing as going too far.

Now Joe came out here to talk about potential challengers, but if Miz wants to keep going down this rabbit hole, let’s bring up his family. Braun Strowman makes his way to the ring.

Paul Heyman Promo 

Heyman is disturbed by the level of animosity and hostility between his client and Seth Rollins. Against his wishes and his own better judgment, Brock Lesnar didn’t cash in the Money in the Bank Briefcase. He took the position that he could take the title on any day. His client, with lust for Seth Rollins’ suffering. Rollins delivered the same kind of beating 72 hours ago at Super ShowDown. Your champion admitted with a steel chair in his hand, he put a beating on Brock Lesnar with that chair over and over and over and over and over again. That’s the champion you cheer for? Seth Rollins is not a worthy Universal Champion. He’s a feckless thug and a stupid one. Rollins has guaranteed that Brock continues to be Mr. Money in the Bank 2019. They were going to let you know when Brock will cash in. No more Mister Nice Jew or Mister Nice Beast.

They will not tell you when Brock is going to cash in. Heyman is not going to insinuate that Brock is not here. He will not say where Brock will show up. He will not insinuate that Brock is the special guest referee at Stomping Grounds and he is not insinuating that Brock will be the referee. He will not insinuate how vulnerable Rollins will be after a beatdown that violates the PG Era of WWE. He will not insinuate that Brock will take the Universal Title away from Seth Rollins. That is not an insinuation, a prediction, or a spoiler. It is a threat, it is a promise, it is a guarantee from his client. The future Reigning, Defending, Undisputed, Universal Heavyweight Champion, The Beast Slayer’s Slayer, Brock Lesnar.
