Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, LA Knight, Adam Pearce Segment
Paul Heyman: Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. And let’s be clear about the evidence that is before you. I am the goat. I’m not just the greatest of all-time, I am your humble oracle. Humbled by the fact that I stand here tonight, in the presence of the future of WWE. The Big Dog who patrols our yard, Bron Breakker. Humbled by the fact that I stand here tonight in the same ring as The Tribal Thief, the owner of The Shoe-La-Fala, “Big” Bronson Reed. Now, at this point, I would be introducing you to the champ, The OTC, Roman Reigns, but Roman Reigns hasn’t been champion for a year in a half now, has he? I would be standing here, and introducing you to the champion of the world, The Best In The World, CM Punk, but CM Punk wasn’t champion long enough for them to put his side plates on the title belt. Oh, you all were part of it on Saturday night. Not only did CM Punk have one of the greatest title matches in history with GUNTHER, but there he was, thanking you for chanting his name, bringing him back to WWE after a decade. And CM Punk thought he would be married to that title, forever, but he wasn’t, because not only did Seth Rollins crashed the Wedding, he stole the honeymoon with the title, and she was good. So, let’s do this properly. Ladies and gentlemen, the reigning, defending, Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the world, Seth Freakin’ Rollins.
Seth Rollins: Brooklyn! Shame on you. Shame on every single one of you, who turn your back on me after I won the main event of WrestleMania. Shame on every single one of you who, for months, have taunted me with chants of CM Punk. Shame on every single one of you who, for months, have taunted me with chants of OTC. Here’s a lesson, never, ever, doubt Seth Freakin’ Rollins, again. Is Roman Reigns the World Heavyweight Champion? No. Is CM Punk the World Heavyweight Champion? No. I am the World Heavyweight Champion. And shame on every single one of you who turn your back on me. I’ve been a marked man for months, Brooklyn. Shame not just on those in this crowd, and those at home who turn their back on me, but shame on every single person in that locker room who made it their mission to stop me from successfully cashing in my Money In The Bank Contract. Everyone back there, they think they’re so smart, Paul. They think they’re so clever, they’re going to stop me at every turn. Need I remind you, I always have a Plan B. And this Plan B was top secret, I told two people in the entire world, one was my beautiful, incredible, Intercontinental Champion of a wife, and the other was my oracle. And together, we’ve achieved what we set out to achieve. We have absolute power. And there is nobody that can stop us. This is past, the present, and the future. This is the way forward. This is, The Vision.
LA Knight: First of all, congratulations, Visionary. Congratulations, Oracle. Congratulations, morons, but let me talk to you. Right now, I’m not here for a fight, I’m just here to answer some questions, because you’ve left people with a lot of questions. A lot of people are out there wondering, right now, they’re thinking, man, Seth Rollins, he had the Money In The Bank Briefcase, so why would he have to fake an injury? Why would he fake an injury when he already had the briefcase? And I’ll tell you why, you weren’t faking the injury to get that, you were faking the injury to get out of something else. Let’s just go ahead and rewind our minds just a little bit. Going into Saturday Night’s Main Event, I said I wanted your dignity, and I wanted to hurt you. And what you do? You faked an injury, and I didn’t get the chance to hurt you the way that I wanted to, but I’ll tell you this.
To your credit, you got up, you ate a BFT, and I got the three count. And that’s where things get a little interesting, because at this point, you’ve pulled the wool so far over everybody’s eyes, I think you blinded yourself. You got a visionary with no vision, even your oracle didn’t see this one coming, because I’m off, enjoying just a little bit of time off, and I’m just taking my time, little vacation, I tuned into SummerSlam, I seen what you did, and I said, I got to get to Brooklyn. So, now I stand in Brooklyn, and I’m looking at you with one thing in mind, to remind you, I was the last one to beat you, and I’m damn sure to be the next one to beat you. The only difference being, you have now given me the ammunition, because last time, I wanted to hurt you real bad, and I still want to hurt you, but the only thing now is that I can hurt you way worse than I ever could have, because when I beat you, I will take that World Heavyweight Championship off of you, giving you another really short reign, because what I’m saying is, there’s no better place than here, and there’s no better time than now.
Seth Rollins: You’ve got some nuts, Knight. You want to come in my ring, challenge me for my World Heavyweight Championship? You don’t think I got the guts? You don’t think I got the balls? You want to fight me, right here, tonight, in Brooklyn, live on Netflix, for the World Heavyweight Championship? Seth Freakin’ Rollins versus LA Knight? No.
Seth proceeds to walk out of the ring. Bron Breakker mocks LA Knight. Adam Pearce appears on the stage.
Adam Pearce: Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen. Hello, Brooklyn. Pardon the interruption, Seth, I just need to get some things off my chest. Normally I would not make a World Championship Match with zero promotion, but normally, Seth, normally a WWE Superstar wouldn’t have his medical team lie to my medical team, week after week. Normally, Seth, a World Heavyweight Champion wouldn’t lie to his General Manager, and certainly wouldn’t lie to the WWE Universe. What I’m saying, Seth, is to hell with normal. It will be Seth Freakin’ Rollins versus LA Knight. It will be for the Worlds Heavyweight Championship. And listen closely, this is my favorite part, it will be tonight in Brooklyn. Oh, wait, I almost forgot, one more thing, since you stole a great moment from the people at SummerSlam, it’s only fitting that I steal something from you. Hey Bron, Bronson, you boys are banned at ringside, and all of that is official.

AJ tells The Judgment Day calm down, he’s not going to slap him around, just yet. What Dom did at SummerSlam, it was clever, but here’s the thing, Styles is coming for that Intercontinental Championship.

Now, now it is time to open to floor to new competitors, competitors who understand what it is to stand in the ring with me, to who understand they’re stepping in the ring with the greatest female wrestler of all-time. And it’s not just me saying it, other people are saying it, Sports Illustrated says it. But that will not be tonight, we will not be opening the floor tonight. Physically, I’m fine.
– Nikki Bella makes her way down to the ring.
Nikki Bella: What up, Brooklyn? Oh, hey, Becky. You know, I was just listening to you back there, I have to say, everything you were saying, I mean, you’re so right, Becky Lync really is one of the greatest of all-time.
Becky Lynch: THE Greatest.
Nikki Bella: I am so proud of all your accomplishments. You know, I remember when I first met you. You had such great potential, and it was superstars, like, Becky Lynch why I knew it was okay to take a step away, because the women’s division was in such great hands.
Becky Lynch: Thank you, that means a lot. I’ve always respected you.
Nikki Bella: Oh my god, thank you, but you know what, you turn out to be such a great disappointment. Oh, yeah, I mean, the same hands I left the division, it has stabbed everyone in the back. Becky, you’re supposed to be here raising a generation, you literally are handcuffing them. You know, I came back here to test myself, because this is the best the division has ever been, right? Yes. But you want to know what I’ve been trying to figure out? Why did you come back? I mean, you could have stayed away. I mean, were you really that jealous watching women like Lyra kill it, or let me guess, Hollywood just wasn’t what you thought it would be?
Becky Lynch: No, no, no, don’t talk to me about Hollywood. I am a featured player in the hottest movie of the summer, Happy Gilmore 2, streaming on Netflix. Wait a minute, wait a minute, I remember seeing you on set there, too. Weren’t you supposed to be in it? Oh, but your role got cut, I wonder why that was? It’s because my reach extends far behind these ropes, I got you cut, because there’s only room in that movie for one of us, and it wasn’t going to be you.
Nikki Bella: You know what, Becky, listen up. I am so sick of this, I’m not buying this. You are a liar, just like your husband. But you want to know the difference? You know, the big difference is, we all bought Seth’s lies, nobody buys your BS, no one. Because you know what, Becky, I see right through you. You are that same insecure, little scared girl that came into this division.
Becky Lynch: Okay, do not talk about me and my hot husband. Me and my hot husband are the greatest wrestling couple of all-time. But wait a minute, at one point that would’ve been you and your, oh, wait, you can’t see him anymore. But also, also remember this, that when I came up, I came up to combat your era, so don’t talk to me about how I handle my era.
Nikki Bella: Becky, this isn’t your era, I hate to break it to you. And guess what? In my era, you were too damn scared to take me on, one-on-one, so how about this. In this era, that isn’t yours, why don’t you put your Intercontinental Championship on the line, and face me one-on-one? Nikki Bella versus Becky Lynch.
Becky Lynch: You know what, we never went one-on-one, because.
Becky drops Nikki with a sucker punch to close this segment.
