Big E, Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens Segment 

Seth Rollins: As you guys all know, I’m not one to come out here and toot my own horn. I have come out here tonight with a purpose. But, while I’m here, let me tell you that I’m on top of the world. I’m on cloud nine, y’all, because last week, in a grueling ladder match, I defeated three former top tier world champions to earn this opportunity at the WWE Championship. And, oh, I gotta tell you, it feels good, it feels right, doesn’t it? I mean, this is my show. This is Monday Night Rollins. Yes, sir. I was drafted here to be the face of Monday nights. I mean, at this point, the only thing that’s missing is a title around my waist. Fortunately, for all of us, this contract, right here. basically guarantees that you are looking at your next WWE Champion.

Big E: Seth, Seth, Seth. Seth, last week, I came out here to congratulate you on winning one heck of a number one contenders ladder match. But instead of shaking my hand like a normal man, you laughed at my face and you slinked off like you were the Pink Panther or something. So, I actually spoke to my Aunt Auslan in Montserrat and she said, baby, don’t let that man bother you, there is something deeply wrong with his mind. That boy is touched.

Seth Rollins: Oh, I’m touched? Well, look, I like your rendition of things, but, E, that’s not really how I remember it. See, I actually remember coming out here, standing in this ring and challenging you to a match for that title, right there. And you told me, I had to go earn it? I had to prove myself, like you didn’t know who you were talking to, like you didn’t know that I’m Seth Freaking Rollins. And then after I won this here contract, I came to shake your hand and you didn’t accept it.

So, as someone I had a lot of respect for, I lost a little bit of that last week. And, look, don’t get me wrong, you’ve been a fine champion, a fine champion. Quality wins over Bobby Lashley. A quality win over Drew McIntyre. And, you know, I am a big fan of a good money in the bank cash in. But I hate to be the one to break this to you, you are not on my level. I mean no disrespect, but sooner or later, you and I, we’re gonna fight for that title. And, look, you don’t want the responsibility of being a champion, anyway, so let me take that off your shoulder, and you could go back to being a joke with your friends. King Woods, yeah, he’s a joke. And, KofiMania, what a joke that turned into.

Big E: First of all, respect the King. Second of all, I’ll be damned if I’m gonna stand here and let you disrespect one of the greatest moments in WWE history that is KofiMania. But, you know what? What I will do is offer you everything that you claim to want, so why don’t we do this. Seth Rollins versus Big E for the WWE Championship, Tonight?

Kevin Owens: You’ll think you’re the face of Monday nights because you’re a delusion dumbass. And the proof is that suit, right there. But, look, it’s not just you guys. I’ve heard Bianca BelAir also say she was the face of Raw. And, again, a very strong claim. Who else? Oh, The Man, Becky Lynch, Seth, you might know here, she’s calling herself the face of Raw. And, again, a very valid point. But I feel like there’s somebody everybody’s forgetting. A face that represents Raw, this face, right here. This handsome face, full of charm and integrity, right here should be considered the face of Raw. You know why? Because, Seth, look, last week you won the ladder match and became number contender. And I love that for you, but I’m sorry to burst your bubble. See, when it was all said and done, people weren’t really talking about you winning the ladder match, what people were talking about was me and my performance in that match.

Because, see, every single time I step into this ring, between these ropes, I give it my absolute best. I leave everything I have in that ring. And, look, it didn’t work out for me last week. Let’s be honest, it hasn’t worked for me in a while. I can’t remember the last time it actually worked out for me, but it doesn’t matter. Because when I tell people to just keep fighting, see, it’s not just a catchphrase, it’s something I believe with my heart and soul. And every single week, it doesn’t matter what happens to me, I will get back up, I will dust myself off, I will show up the next week and I will keep fighting. And, you know, it might be three more months or three more years, that doesn’t matter, what matters is every single time I’m on Raw, you can believe I will do everything I can to give the WWE Universe something to remember. So while we’re on that topic, if you’re not gonna fight Big E tonight, why don’t you get the hell out of the ring, because, Big E, I think there is something these people and everybody watching would remember for a very long time. And that’s, you, me, one-on-one, for the first time ever, right here, tonight.

Big E: Hey, pipe down. Well, much like highlander, there can only be one face of Monday. This isn’t Mount Rushmore, but you make one hell of a point. We’ve never done this, you and me, one-on-one. So, Kevin Owens, Big E, it’s on, sucka!
