Report by Bill Pritchard for WrestleZone.com
The Shield hits the ring and Ambrose says the stakes were high on Monday night, and one of them would have walked out of the Elimination Chamber as champion. Ambrose asks Reigns if he thought he would win, and Reigns says he knows it, then they talk trash to each other before Rollins tells them to stop. Rollins says the Wyatt Family is the reason they didn't win, and they don't care for the reason but they will be dealt with. He says they were that close until the Wyatts got involved, so if they want a fight, they are going to wipe them out. Ambrose says that is an official challenge, then Vickie Guerrero comes out and says it's a great idea, and she wants to make history right now.
Triple H cuts her off and says he understand where they are coming from, but they should let it go because there's no profit. He says there's only loss and problems to come out of this, and he asks them to let it go, but Rollins tells him to look at it from their perspective. HHH says he did look at it every way, but he is telling them to let it go, then Reigns gets in his face. Reigns says they aren't asking for approval, then they all get in his face and HHH smirks and says if this is how it's going to be, then he should make money from it. He asks if the fans want what The Shield wants, then he says The Shield will face The Wyatt Family at the Elimination Chamber.
