Seth Rollins, fresh from a return at Extreme Rules, starts tonight's show. He says that he is back and that he is taking back the title that he never lost: the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. When he notices that the WWE Universe missed him, he finds it surprising, as he says the WWE Universe hated him to death during his championship reign as he hid behind The Authority every chance he could and everyone called him the weakest link. He says he took all the flowers and "get well soon" cards, put them in a garbage can and lit them all on fire, and says he never needed the WWE Universe and doesn't need them. He tells the WWE Universe to either cheer him or boo him, as he'll get back the title he never lost. Roman Reigns shows up, and when he gets in the ring, Seth Rollins gets out. As he tells Roman he'll only face him on his time, Shane McMahon shows up. Shane knows that there is a lot of animosity between Seth and Roman, and makes a match between the two of them for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship official for Money in the Bank.

Dana thanks her for the privilege of standing in the ring with the dirtiest player in the game. Charlotte says she understands why her dad wasn't there, and now she's more powerful and more confident now that she is Women's Champion. She then tells Ric Flair to get out of her ring.
