Renee Young got a haircut. She asks Roman Reigns if he can coexist tonight with Daniel Bryan and Dean Ambrose. He says Dean will always be his boy, and he has no problems with Daniel. He says they have an opportunity to screw over the Authority tonight, and their big cry baby Big Show.
Paul Heyman is in the house. He goes on a rant about Brock Lesnar doing things – not because he has a reason to, but because he wanted to. He says Lesnar had nothing against the Undertaker, but ended the Streak and destroyed the Phenom because he wanted to. Lesnar had nothing personal against John Cena, but he took a $100 million franchise and suplexed him on his neck because he had nothing better to do on a Sunday evening. Heyman says NOW Lesnar is pissed off, and he has a reason to show up to the Royal Rumble and send Seth Rollins into obscurity.
Rollins cuts him off and comes out with J&J. He says he’s sick of people walking around on egg shells, thinking they need to be afraid of Brock Lesnar. He says he wants to cash in Money in the Bank contract tonight on Smackdown, and gets fired up about it. Heyman says its an interesting challenge, but they all know Brock Lesnar isn’t there. Seth says if he can’t Curb Stomp the champ tonight, he’ll Curb Stomp his greatest asset in Paul Heyman. He basically mounts the advocate in the corner, and says without Heyman, Brock Lesnar is all brawn and no brains, and turns into a 300-pound mass of muscle he can run circles around. He asks WHY he shouldn’t just take out Paul right now, and Heyman says the Authority can be removed from power again, but he’s the one gaining power every single day. Paul says that Brock Lesnar can either BE the champion now, or PROTECT the future champion when he decides the “future is now”. Rollins thinks about it, and lets him go.
