Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed Segment
Bron Breakker: I am standing here in this ring, because Seth Rollins and “The Wiseman” Paul Heyman have a vision for this business that has me, the face of WWE for the next two decades. I also have a vision of my own for a WWE, and that is a WWE without Sami Zayn. I do not like Sami Zayn. I don’t like his ugly face. I don’t like his stupid beard. I don’t like his music. I don’t like that you people sing it every time he comes out here. For the life of me, I will never understand why you guys cheer for someone that has the athletic ability of a dead fish, someone that’s never played sports, someone that never goes to the gym, someone that’s hanging on to anything, for dear life, to get five more years, so he can squeeze the last little bit of water out of the rag. Sami Zayn has an expiration date, and I’m going to put a stamp on it, tonight. I promise you, Sami, I promise, if you come walking down this ramp, I’m gonna maul your head off, and you’re going to be looking at the lights by the end of it.
Seth Rollins: You good, Breakker?
Bronson Reed: Simmer down, people. Bron is a tough act to follow, but so am I. I am the man that hit Seth with six Tsunami’s. Hurting him so badly, that it built a respect out of you and I. So much so that, Seth brought me into this group, brought me into his vision. And with that vision, I will get the respect that I deserve. And Jey Uso, YEETMan, you don’t respect me, so, tonight, I will Tsunami the respect into you, just like I did Seth Freakin’ Rollins.
Seth Rollins: It’s all yours, Paul.
Paul Heyman: Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. Tonight, the empire strikes back. You know what? Scratch that, pulled that up on YouTube later, that’s a blooper. The empire tonight strikes first. First on our list, Sami Zayn. And I’m not gonna try to follow that promo, if Sami hasn’t hightailed it all the way back to Montreal by now, Sami, it’s your ass, not mine. Tonight, Bronson Reed versus Jey Uso. I have love for my former Bloodline member, Jey Uso. But let’s be honest here, Roman Reigns doesn’t have the balls to come back and step up to us. The OTC is MIA, and after tonight, Jey Uso will be MIA, all thanks to the Master Of The Tsunami, Bronson Reed. And now here’s the big news, in case you haven’t heard. Tonight, Seth Freakin’ Rollins, the biggest box office attraction in this industry, the man that pinned Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania, and it’s not the first time he’s done that, either. Seth Rollins will don the tights tonight against PENTA. Hey, my amigo, you may be a luchador, but you’re not going to do anything. Now, I’m neither young enough or hip enough, nor bad enough or boujee enough to understand these stupid freaking hand signals that PENTA does. But by the time he gets stomped into the mat, tonight, PENTA will be in no shape to do these hand signals, ever again. And that’s not a prediction, that’s a spoiler.
Seth Rollins: Well, boys, you covered everything, so I guess there’s only one thing left to say. Providence, welcome to Monday Night Rollins.

– Jackie Redmond had a backstage interview with Sami Zayn. How is he managing everything that’s gone on over the past few weeks? He’s not. He has too much on his plate. He would love to focus on his injured ribs. He would love to pay more attention to Karrion Kross, who’s probably lurking somewhere around here. He doesn’t care if Bron Breakker likes him or not.

Nikki Bella Promo
So, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve been back, and wow, have things changed. You know, I came back to talk about something very important to me, Evolution. But what I didn’t expect was to get into an altercation with Liv Morgan. I came back to pay my respect to the women of today, but instead, Liv wants to question my womanhood, my legacy, and then she attacked me. You know, I didn’t realize it at the time, but that lit a fire inside of me. So, while I had some time to think, more than ever, do I want to make a return to that ring. I want one more moment to prove myself. I want one more moment to prove to the fans, to my Bella Army of what I can do.
I want one more moment to show my son what the WWE Universe has seen. And what better way to do that than to enter the Battle Royal in Atlanta for Evolution. Now, look, I know it won’t be easy, I will be facing some of the best women in all of WWE, but you don’t know me, I will do whatever it takes to win. I want to have that match at Clash In Paris. I want that title opportunity. And I want to prove that you don’t fear the challenges that get put in front of you, that you don’t run from your past, you face it, you learn from it, and you build a future that no one can ever take away from you. The first Evolution was a history making event, so why can’t I make history now? This Sunday night, not only will I make history, again, I will prove to everyone why Nikki Bella is Fearless.

Becky Lynch, Bayley, Lyra Valkyria Segment
Becky Lynch: Can someone please explain to me how two losers, two people who just lost last week, to each other, have a title match against me, a Triple Threat at Evolution where, statisically, I am at a disadvantage? Can someone please explain how that works? Look, I get it, from Pearce’s perspective, I’m the greatest female wrestler who ever lived. And it’s not just me saying that, other people say that, Sports Illustrated say that, multiple time Women’s Champion, Main Event of WrestleMania, New York Times Best Selling Author. I’m in all these shows, movies, I’m hot, I get it, I get it from his perspective, you need me on Evolution. But I beat Bayley, I beat Lyra, neither of them deserves an opportunity, I deserve to pick my own opponent. Iyo got to pick her own opponent. Tiffany got to pick her own opponent. Hey, I pick this woman, right here, and I’ll beat you in a second. So, what I think, you know, I think what’s happening is that it’s all a show, it’s all a rouse. Bayley and Lyra, they’re in cahoots, they’re working together, because they know that’s the only way they are going to get this title off me. Both of them, last week, pinned each other. Do you know how statistically rare that is to happen in wrestling?
Lyra Valkyria walks past Bayley as she makes her way into the ring.
Lyra Valkyria: What are you talking about? What are you actually saying? Congratulations, Becky, you completed your transformation into a complete raving lunatic. Oh my god, my title is wrapped around the waist of a bucket full of crazy, and I think it’s time I take it back.
Bayley: Are you kidding me? The way I see it is that I should be standing here, as the Intercontinental Champion, if it wasn’t for you, two weeks ago.
Lyra Valkyria: Oh, she’s speaking to me, she’s really speaking to me. Lucky me, what a treat, I’m sorry, it’s just I’m having a bit of trouble keeping up.
Bayley: Alright, Lyra, we get it, alright, get over it. I didn’t get back to you after WrestleMania, let it go, okay. If WrestleMania taught me anything, is that I don’t need partners, and I damn sure don’t need anymore friends. What I do need is that championship, right here.
Becky Lynch: Oh, Bayley, listen to you. After 13 years of failed friendships, and grimy hugs, another one bites the dust. Well, it’s good to see you not trying so hard anymore, because, yeah, she really dropped you like a hot potato at WrestleMania.
Lyra Valkyria: No, it’s time we set the record straight on this. And I have to tell you what I never told you. Everybody thinks that I called Becky and brought her back at WrestleMania, I didn’t. Becky secretly attacked you, and then Becky called me.
Becky Lynch: What, there wasn’t much hesitation in your voice, was there? But you know, I remember this one thing that you said. You said that Bayley is everything that I’m pretending to be, and that Bayley would never betray you the way that I did, how is that working out for you, because it seems like she’s not pretending anymore, is she? Hate to say I told you so.
Lyra Valkyria: Shut up, Becky, you can’t get in my head anymore. But she was right about one thing. How nice is it for you to finally admit that you don’t care about friendship when it comes to championship gold, right? You know what that makes you? That makes you just like her. And I know what I have to do now. Sunday, at Evolution, I have to rescue that championship from two massive disappointments.
Bayley: You know what, Lyra? I sat front row when you were the first ever Women’s Intercontinental Champion. When you won that championship for the first time, I sat right there. And when we had that tag tournament to get to WrestleMania, I stood on that apron, and I watched the work that you put it in, I watched you rise to the top, I watched you go to WrestleMania and become a double champion, and then I watched you lose that Intercontinental Championship, and you raised her hand, like a little bitch.

Let me talk to you. My man, Seth Rollins, I’m talking to you. The Visionary. Mr. Money In The Bank. You hold the case, you hold the power, but I’ll tell you what, man. You got a whole lot of paying to do. You are in debt, my man. It’s really something that shouldn’t belong to you. You are Mr. Money In The Bank, you hold the case, it’s yours to carry the burden. But here’s the thing, that burden is going to be really heavy, and I’ll tell you why. You tried to send your boys down there to do the damage, but let’s think about it. One Tsunami, Two Tsunami, Three Tsunami’s, and I was back in one week. Here’s how it goes down, my man, your days are counting down. Slowly but surely, I can’t take that Money In The Bank Case off you, that’s okay, I’m not gonna try to. But what I’m going to do is make that case a permanent party. Whether I stick it up your keester, or I attach it to your damn head, you can bet that, after Saturday Night’s Main Event, you could be the one to hold the case, but you will know who runs this game, and even you will be saying, LA Knight, YEAH!
