HHH enters the ring with Randy Orton dressed in ring gear and Seth Rollins in his suit. He states that after MITB the new face of the WWE and World Champion will be none other than Randy Orton. “And standing by his side, with a briefcase and contract in hand, allowing him a championship match anywhere, anyplace, anytime…will be Seth Rollins.” And whether the WWE Universe likes it or not that is best for business.
Randy Orton agrees that, that situation would indeed be best for business and says he will climb that ladder and grab the championship. Seth jumps in immediately after and says he will win the contract and beat six other men including one Dean Ambrose to secure his destiny. He then with his signature smirk adds “just in case if things don’t work out like Hunter said, we’ve always got a plan B” and he laughs a little to himself. One can only imagine what this plan B would entail given the last time we heard that phrase the Shield was decimated.
Randy Orton however angrily asks “And what exactly do you think is going to go wrong?” Seth ever the peacemaker at times says “No no no I didn’t mean that, it’s not unthinkable that you might not get the job done again you know?”
Randy Orton not to be outdone in this little manliness competition says “It’s not unthinkable without your Shield buddies at your side that I could whip your ass.” HHH jumps in and says he understands there may be some trust issues but the one constant that will not change is the Authority (Stephanie and himself) and they can either survive against it or thrive with it. “While trust right now might be a bitter taste in your mouths, adapt or perish. This is the plan; this is the present; this is the future.”

While Randy Orton is placed in a match this evening Seth is not. But that doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of him for the evening as he reappears to seek some vengeance on Ambrose for all the attacks in previous weeks. He attacks Ambrose outside of the ring and then proceeds to give him the curb stop inside the ring. (it has recently been decided that will be the name for Seth’s finisher instead of peace of mind or the blackout) He then leans into Ambrose’s face and says he is watching his back and continues to yell as SmackDown goes to commercial.
