Date: June 4, 2015
Commentators: Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton, and Jerry Lawler

We begin with a look at what happened during the main event of the Elimination Chamber when lunacy was almost the word to describe the WWE Champion, but due to a disqualification, the architect is still your WWE Champion. However, the champion does not have his title belt because Dean took it with him.

We are in Houston, Texas and your announcers are Jerry Lawler, Byron Saxton, and Tom Phillips.

Seth Rollins’ music plays and he makes his way to the ring. In addition to not having his title belt, he is without Joey Mercury, Jamie Noble, and Kane.

Seth takes a chair and he says nearly a year ago to the day, he took a chair, not unlike this one, and I single handedly dismantled the Shield.

Seth sits down on the chair and says since that day, the question he has gotten from you than any other question. Why? Why did you take that chair and send a message to Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose? Why did you destroy what you created? Seth says from Day One, his goal was to be the very best in the history of this industry. Not ‘one of’, but ‘THE’ best. Seth says he was sick and tired of sharing the spotlight with two chumps who were beneath him.

Seth says he was the only one with guts to pull the trigger. Seth says he joined the Authority and he was anointed the Undisputed Future of the WWE. Seth says he validated that endorsement when he won the Money in the Bank contract ALL . . . BY . . . MYSELF.

Seth says the best part is that he was only getting started. Shortly after the Royal Rumble, he had a vision. Seth says he had a vision to make history, to make the impossible, to beat Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar at the same time.

It is one thing to come up with a plan like that, but to execute it flawlessly took guts and courage. It took the heart of a champion. At Wrestlemania, he ripped Roman Reigns’ dream right from his hands and he slayed the beast at the same time. Now that beast is off licking his wounds somewhere while Roman Reigns is in his shadow trying to recreate what happened before.

Seth tells Roman the sequel is never better than the original. Seth says he is the greatest WWE Champion of all time and he has no championship around his waist.

This brings him to Dean Ambrose. Dean wants so desperately for you to believe that stealing a championship will make him a champion. Ambrose knows that is true. All of you know who the rightful champion is. That is fine Dean, play your games. Seth says he does not need a championship belt or anything to validate who he is.

Seth says he appreciates what the Authority has done for him. He does not need J&J Security. He does not need Kane. He does not need Big Show. He does not need Stephanie McMahon. He does not need Triple H to destroy Dean Ambrose. His title will be hanging above the ring and he will climb the ladder to get what he has earned.

Dean interrupts on the TitanTron and he says he couldn’t help but hear Seth’s story about doing things by himself. He wants to know if Seth is a liar or has a bad memory. Dean reminds Seth that he always needed help. He couldn’t get through an airport without asking for help because he had more baggage than a rich girl with daddy issues. He always knew Seth was a liar. He is not as much a scumbag as Seth. He cannot stand the lie that Seth calls himself the WWE Champion after he beat Seth in the ring.

Dean says the Authority will do everything in their power to save their precious investment. They will send monsters, demons, giants, the cavalry, J&J. Everything to make sure that the title never slips through their fingers ever ever again. That helps you sleep at night and that has made you soft and weak.

You want to talk about doing things by yourself? Dean says he has been surviving with eyes in the back of his head. Every time he walks in the ring, he is on the endangered species list. He is getting stronger every day. Then he reached the top of the mountain at the Elimination Chamber. To get to the top, you cannot be afraid to fall. They are going to do this one more time, in a ladder match. If you want to get it, you have to climb the ladder and take it.

Dean says that he is the real, rightful WWE Champion. He is walking into Money in the Bank with it and he is walking out of Money in the Bank with it, or he will die trying.

We are back and NXT Champion Kevin Owens makes his way to the ring.

Kevin says you will notice that he doesn’t need Michael Cole to introduce him this week because after what he did last Sunday, you know exactly who he is. He is the NXT Champion, Kevin Owens. Kevin says he is the guy who beat John Cena in his first match in the WWE. Kevin says he is the guy who is going to do the exact same thing in their rematch at Money in the Bank.

You all know who he is and what he is about, except John Cena. John seems to think that he is someone else. John thinks that he is some kid with a John Cena hat and John Cena t-shirt who hangs on every single word that John says, like his son. Kevin says his son is seven years old and he doesn’t know any better.

Kevin says he heard John go on and on and he says that after hearing John Cena, John is delusional. Kevin says he thought it was an act, but John really believes that nonsense. It does not end there. You want to talk about John Cena being delusional; John said he was not a real man. Kevin says that he cannot have his son admire someone who is so out of touch with reality. Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect and Never Give Up does not work in the real world. What you are feeding the kids is absolute garbage.

Kevin says he will show the world what a real champion, a real role model, and a real man is. Kevin mentions his NXT Title Open Challenge. If there is anyone in the locker room who has what it takes to beat the man who beat John Cena on his first night and will do the same at Money in the Bank.

Lana says Rusev did not respect her so he did not deserve her.

Miz tells Lana she is good and she can blind everyone with her beauty. Miz says he has seen it before. You were using Rusev. After he lost to John Cena and hurt his ankle, you saw he was of new use to you so you cut bait.

Lana says it was not a business decision. She cared for Rusev. His abusive words and his erratic behavior and constant lies led her to do what she did. She says Miz’ questions will leave him with two options. Maybe she will leave or maybe Miz will get slapped.

Miz tells Lana to settle down. He is trying to get her side of the story. With every story, there are two sides. Miz brings out his ‘surprise’ guest, the ‘Bulgarian Brute’ Rusev.

Rusev comes to the ring on crutches.

Rusev tells his dear Lana not to look like this. He is not here to pick a fight or start trouble. Rusev says he is here as a broken man. He knows that he has told her so many bad things. He has no excuse other than he was raised differently. He thought he did not know he needed her. Rusev says this country is embracing you and America is all about second chances. Rusev says that is all he is asking. He is asking for a second chance.

Rusev says he cannot walk or stand without his crutches. He begs her for one more chance. He says he leans on Lana and he asks Lana to be his crutch.

Lana takes the crutches and she says she will show Rusev where to put his crutch.

Rusev calls Lana a stupid woman cow. Rusev yells in Bulgarian and he calls her pathetic and stupid.
