We see the usual intro, then commentary welcomes us to the show and runs down what happened last night at Summerslam.
Brock Lesnar's music hits as he & Paul Heyman make their way to the ring.
"Suplex City" chants by the crowd as Heyman has a mic. Heyman introduces himself as always, then says he is the pissed off advocate of the ripped off conqueror, the "Beast of the Barclays", BROCKKKKKK LESNARRRRRRRRRR!! So, what the hell happened here last night? Crowd boos. How did we go from Brock Lesnar forcing the Undertaker for the first time in his 25-year career to tap out, to a scenario that will inaccurately describe the Undertaker, afer all these years, getting a victory over my client, Brock Lesnar. It is an undisuptable fact that last night, Brock Lesnar took the Undertaker to Suplex City. It is an indisuptable fact that last night, Brock Lesnar locked the Phenom in a Kimura and please pay attention to this shocking piece of footage, because it is an indisputable fact that last night, Brock Lesnar forced the Undertaker tap out. We see video of the tapout. Heyman says how uncomfortable it must be for this fairy tale to end, I am a father, I understand. This whole belief that the Undertaker is immortal, or dead, or whatever nonsense he wants to spew out, but above all else, he tapped out to Brock Lesnar. You know what it means to tap out? It means, Brock Lesnar, you are the better wrestler, the best fighter, the better man. Its like a little kid in the fetal position in the schoolyard after getting beat up saying, "please leave me alone." Heyman says Lesnar is not blaming the referee, who didn't see the tap, nor the timekeeper, who had compassion for the Undertaker because when he was tapping, he knew Lesnar would break his arm, rip in off and beat him over the head with it. Can we bring up the fact that the Undertaker collapsed again before getting backstage, I mean, its all over the internet. Hey, I got enough material to be out here for all 3 hours of RAW! "YES" chant by the crowd. Imagine saying that the Undertaker needed to be saved, but that's what happened and then what does the Undertaker do? He goes for the desparate low blow, he locked Lesnar in Hell's Gate and because he needs to hear Lesnar give up, he yells at him to tap out. And what was Lesnar's response? To flip off the Undertaker. I get it, Undertaker, you're the last gunslinger, but you can't shoot with Brock Lesnar. So you're right, we're not out here to flap our gums, we're out here because Brock Lesnar wants to fight the Undertaker one more time! I'm not here to issue a challenge for Wrestlemania or Survivor Series or Royal Rumble or MSG or Night of Champions, Brock Lesnar challenges the Undertaker to do this, Brooklyn-style, tonight, tonight, tonight, NOW, NOW, NOW!! Bring your ass to this ring!
"YES" chants by the crowd as Lesnar removes his shirt and is ready to fight. Out instead comes Bo Dallas to the ring, doing his victory lap around ringside. Bo says to Mr. Brock, he has good news and bad news. The bad news is last night against Undertaker, you passed out. The good news is you eventually woke up and had a good dream, like you actually beating the Undertaker. Brock, you can make those dreams come true, all you have to do is BOLIEVE! That's it, Brock, Bolieve, Bolieve, Brock!
Lesnar with a clothesline and four release Germans to Dallas, sending him to Suplex City. Crowd wants more suplexes, but Lesnar leaves with Heyman to the back, but Heyman says, "how about five?" Lesnar gets back in, grabs Dallas, suplex #5! Crowd still wants more, but Lesnar leaves again to the back. Heyman again stops him and says he wants one for himself. Lesnar gets back in, lifts up Dallas as Heyman says that he wants Dallas to know that Brock BOLIEVES! F-5 by Lesnar to Dallas and finally Lesnar & Heyman leave.

You would want someone who would be paying back the people, that is called loyalty, Seth Rollins has loyalty. You would want someone who respected those who got them where they are, they have respect, Seth Rollins has respect, hustle, loyalty, respect. But, Seth Rollins also is, unlike some people, is a winner.

Tonight is an incredible night, not just for me, not just for you, but for everyone in this building and the WWE Universe. This is incredible, tonight I join the Mount Rushmore of WWE, the elite of the elite. This might be bigger than a Hall of Fame induction, this is like Monument Park at Yankee Stadium. This is like Babe Ruth, Joe Dimaggio, or whatever you people have to immortalize the Brooklyn Nets. Wait a minute, they stink, sorry. I'm reminded of a great adage tonight. Heroes are remembered, but legends never die. Last night, when I defeated John Cena to become the first man to hold both the WWE World & US titles at the same time, I became a legend. And tonight, with the unveiling of this statue.......tonight, just give me a minute, this is huge. Tonight, with the unveiling of this statue, I become immortal. Now, I said a lot of terrible things about John Cena over the last month, most of them well-deserved. I said John Cena was a cancer and that I was the cure and I meant every single word of it, but there is a reason that John Cena has sat on top of the mountain for the last 10 years, because he has worked every single day to be the man. Truth. But to be the man, you've got to beat the man and that's exactly what I did last night. And when we unveil the statue, just like you said Trips, I am no longer the future, I am the man. And when I main event numerous Wrestlemanias and when I'm dead and gone, this statue will commenorate my legacy. Bruno Sammartino, The Ultimate Warrior, Andre the Giant and now, Seth Rollins. Its time, I can't wait anymore, Brooklyn, are you ready? This one's for you, Trips, I said Brooklyn, are...you...ready? Well, let's do this, because the champ is here!
