After some highlights from Night of Champions, we are live from the MVP Arena in Albany, NY, where Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring. Pyro goes off on the stage and streamers fall from the ceiling.

Seth welcomes us to Monday Night Rollins, and says he’s a visionary, a revolutionary… He’s interrupted by loud “You deserve it” chants. …and I am World Heavyweight Champion. There are a lot of lows and highs on the road to this point. Seth says it feels right. He says he does not want to talk about the past, he wants to talk about the future. Raw has a champion who wants to be here and a champion who is here, and a champion who is ready for a fight.

Seth says he is ready for a fight and he wants a fight. He wants all of the fights. It does not matter who you are or where you come from, the result will always be the same. Me standing in the ring with the World title around his waist and the world singing his song.

AJ Styles interrupts with his music and he makes his way to the ring, even though he is a member of the Smackdown roster.

Seth pulls down his sunglasses to look at AJ and then the man who Seth beat gets a mic.

AJ says he knows he is on Smackdown, but he couldn’t resist coming to Raw to say… congratulations. AJ says he gave Seth everything he had. It was like Seth knew what he was going to do before he did it. The fans say ‘You deserve it” and AJ says Seth doesn’t deserve anything. AJ says you earned the right to be World Champion.

Seth tells AJ he is not too good at these things, but after the beating he gave AJ at Night of Champions, he says that AJ has earned ‘this’ and he offers his hand to AJ and they shake hands.

The music for The Judgment Day plays and they make their way to the ring.

Finn Balor acts like he is going to be sick and he asks if they also feel sick. Whatver this is makes him want to puke. Priest says he is feeling nauseous. He thinks they should make this positive. Rhea says they run Raw. Priest says Rhea is right, but after watching the Bloodline implode on Saturday, without a shadow of a doubt, they run the entire WWE. Finn says they beat the Undisputed Tag Team Champions, something Roman Reigns couldn’t do.

Rhea says from THE Champion to just another one, he tells Seth not to get too comfortable with that title because it is inevitable that one of them will take the title from him. Finn says it could be Priest and Priest says it could be Finn. Rhea says it could be his Dom Dom. AJ and Seth laugh at that idea. Dom tells AJ that he beat him.

Finn says they saw them beat each other half to death at Night of Champions… Dom says they are going to finish the job tonight. AJ says that sounds like they were being challenged. Seth says they accept the challenge. Any two of you versus the two of us in the Main Event.

Backstage:

Byron stops to talk to The Judgment Day and he congratulates Rhea on her victory on Saturday. Rhea says she didn’t beat Natalya, she destroyed her. That is why she isn’t here. Natalya should know better than to be distracted in a match like she was. Byron asks who will be facing Seth and AJ. Finn says if he told Byron, he would have to… Damian says they have things to do and he tells Byron to do his job somewhere else.

Damian says, right back being beaten up by Roman. Finn says if by some miracle, you do win, there is going to be a line of superstars waiting for you and the line starts here.
