The roster is on the stage for an announcement by The Authority. The title belts are perched above the ring as Triple H’s music plays. The roster parts as Stephanie and Hunter make their way to the ring.
Stephanie says that she wanted everyone to know that they care and they know how disconcerting it was to not have a WWE Champion. Hunter says that WWE superstars lay it all on the line for an opportunity to prove that they are the best. They do it by having the honor of being called the WWE World Champion.
Stephanie says that when you are the champion, you are immortalized. Stephanie mentions her husband, Triple H. The company is only as strong as their champion. It is disheartening that the company has been represented by a B+ player like Daniel Bryan.
Hunter says it is not Daniel’s ability that is disappointing, it is his heart. He has no heart. His selfishness brought about his refusal to defend the WWE Champion. He refused to give everyone a chance. They deserve better than that.
Hunter says that standing on that stage may very well be the next WWE Champion. The Authority is all about opportunity. Stephanie asks who will join the five men already in the Money in the Bank match at the pay per view?

Hunter tells John that he gets his opportunity to compete, but Hunter knows that John loves to help people. Just like John wanted to help Daniel Bryan and The Shield. John can help them tonight.
