[SOUND] [NOISE] Seth Rollins had
a run in earlier tonight with
the host of The Daily Show,
Jon Stewart.
Randy Orton came out to confuse the situation.
Stewart went down low and embarrassed Seth Rollins.
And then Orton explained guys the reason he was doing it was to quote save Rollins
from career suicide.
He said he attacked Jon Stewart on national television he probably
would've lost his job.
[NOISE] Orton did tell Rollins l had your back before Big Show and and
Kane said listen, we've got your back Seth.
>> I guess he's much comfortable with David Letterman, who's still here.
>> Jamie Noble told Randy Orton, I guess we don't need everybody out here.
Hence the reason you don't see Orton out here for this main event now.
[NOISE]
>> Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman continually
tells Reigns week after week that he cannot beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.
In 27 nights we'll find out if that's the case.
[NOISE] There's the power of Roman Reigns.
>> Roman Reigns is a guy who's willing to take three just to get one,
that's what I like about this guy.
>> He can't take three from Brock.
>> And Seth Rollins is gonna regroup, Reigns laughing about it in the ring.
>> I don't even know he could take one from Brock.
>> The thing though, Booker, I've noticed about Reigns lately over the past month or
so between the Rumbles, his confidence is through the roof.
>> Let me tell you something.
Daniel Bryan can do everything at Fast Lane and Roman Reigns.
And Roman Reigns waited to the perfect time that Daniel Bryan is in a perfect
position to drop that Spear.
And that's what I think is gonna happen at WrestleMania.
He's gonna take it and take it and take it.
>> I think what's gonna happen in WrestleMania, all that confidence when
Brock Lesnar wraps his arms around Roman Reigns and throws him backward over his
head in the German Suplex, out goes the confidence and out goes Roman Reigns.
>> John, you- >> Yeah, but what happens to Brock Lesnar
when you see a man like Roman Reigns who can take it and keep taking it,
like a Rocky Balboa?
>> I think Brock hopes he can keep taking it because Brock can keep dishing it out.
>> And Book, listen, to agree with John here.
I mean, here's the point, don't forget Brock Lesnar is the man who beat
The Undertaker at WrestleMania last year to end the winning streak,
we haven't seen Undertaker since.
He manhandled John Cena in the most lopsided championship match in
history at SummerSlam.
Here's the cover and a kick out.
Then he went on to win a triple threat match at the Royal Rumble against Cena and
Rollins with what ended up being a broken rib.
How do you stop Lesnar?
>> I think Cena and Rollins could actually, I mean Rollins and
Daniel Bryan could actually team up and they wouldn't beat Brock Lesnar.
>> The way I answer that is I saw Roman Reigns at my interview on SmackDown with
Byron Saxton last week and the look in his eyes told me that Roman Reigns is
ready to take as much as Brock Lesnar is willing to dish out.
That's the way I see he's being playing out.
>> It's easy to have that look when you're looking at Byron Saxton.
>> And here's Reigns- >> It's different when you're looking at
Brock Lesnar.
>> To the midsection of Rollins.
And now Seth Rollins with the drop kick, caught Reigns on a button.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Now, Mr.
Money in the Bank hammering away on Roman Reigns.
[NOISE] >> Seth Rollins reminding everyone
including Reigns that he still holds the Money in the Bank contract,
that he could cash in if he so sees fit at WrestleMania.
At any point, it could be at WrestleMania, it could be at any time over the next
number of months leading up to the next Money in the Bank event.
[NOISE] Rollins biding his time since winning the ladder match last summer.
[NOISE] >> So Jon,
there was a good daily show replacement.
Better job.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> It's hard to tell how good Seth Rollins
really is without his goons out here backing him, we know the guy is capable,
we've seen that.
>> And Reigns sent outside the ring.
Watch out for the goons, there's J and J Security.
And Rollins, as he looks on,
watches Reigns take out- >> Wow.
>> Two members of the security team.
And now Reigns with a clothesline.
>> Ho, ho, baby.
[NOISE] >> Again, Noble scatters.
[NOISE] >> Reigns, shoulder first into the post.
Seth Rollins moving out of harm's way.
>> You got him Seth, get on here.
[MUSIC]
>> Randy Orton told Seth Rollins if you need my help, just ask.
Things have not been going Rollins way so
perhaps Orton felt like Mr Money in the Bank needed some help.
[MUSIC] >> A little help please.
>> Things are interesting.
>> Reigns and Rollins continues live.
>> I think he's coming to help.
[MUSIC] >> And we are back live on
Monday Night Raw, the main event, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.
Reigns catching Seth Rollins in mid air looking for the Samoan Drop perhaps.
Rollins, right in the back of the knee.
Meanwhile Randy Orton has made his way out here to ringside.
And guys he is not in the corner of the rest of The Authority.
[NOISE] >> What's your point?
[NOISE] >> Just an observation.
>> [NOISE] You see Big Show, Kane and J and J over on this side of the ring.
Randy Orton watching things on the other side after making a promise to
Seth earlier tonight, that hey, I'm here if you need some help.
>> You suck. [NOISE]
>> Big Show mouthing off to the sold out
crowd here tonight, nearly 15,000 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
[NOISE] >> Seth
Rolins, >> You sold out.
You sold out.
>> The Big Show is the Howard Finkle here working.
[NOISE] >> We're gonna talk about right here.
This is what Brock Lesnar's gonna have to deal with.
It looks like Roman Reigns is totally out right now,
but trust me this guy got a whole lot left in the tank.
>> Roman Reigns trying to rally.
[NOISE] >> Seth Rollins needs help from his
friends to take control this match during the commercial break on the WWE app.
[NOISE] >> Reigns of course, to face Brock Lesnar,
and Reigns back to his feet now, Roman Reigns tried to create separation,
and he does planting Rollins.
Great move by Reigns he buys himself some time.
>> Looking over the shoulder of Randy Orton.
>> Yes, a member of The Authority, there's the rest of The Authority.
[NOISE] >> Come on Seth, come on Seth.
>> Can Reigns take advantage here?
>> Get him.
>> Seth Rollins nobody home.
Roman Reigns with a clothesline.
And we welcome you to Monday Night Raw.
We are live ladies and gentlemen, sold out tonight in Newark, New Jersey.
>> Here we go baby.
>> And our main event Roman Reigns the number one contender for
the WWE World Title against Seth Rollins.
And Reigns starting to build momentum.
>> Where did he get this energy from?
He was just out a second ago.
Now, Roman Reigns is on fire.
>> Yeah, and Roman is gonna need all of these against Brock Lesnar at
WrestleMania.
>> It's about time he got right there.
>> Side slam, cover, hooks the leg, is it enough?
And it isn't.
>> Roman Reigns, he's not, about going to get
the best advice to go into that match to best
prepare he possibly can against- >> Come on Seth.
>> Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania, I like that.
>> Of course, he cannot show up against Brock Lesnar.
[NOISE] >> Look at it again,
come on now, J and J Security.
>> Goodbye.
And it allows Rollins again to take control.
>> Cover, for the win.
>> Come on don't let- >> Reigns powers out but again J and
J Security getting involved.
[NOISE] >> That's what security
is supposed to do, Michael.
>> They're supposed to get involved in the match.
>> They're protecting their asset, well, their asset in this case is Seth Rollins.
>> Well, I guess the official is afraid to disqualify him because The Authority
might get upset.
>> Come on Seth.
>> Actually, Roman's the one that drag J and J in.
>> Come on, okay, [LAUGH] you're ridiculous.
>> Yeah. >> He did, he's the one that drag them in.
>> And here's Seth Rollins, top rope but Reigns with a right hand.
>> Big right uppercut.
[NOISE] Let me tell you, I don't care if you're Brock Lesnar or
anybody, you take one of those big right hands right there you're gonna feel it.
[NOISE] >> Rollins fighting back,
both men are precariously up to the top rope, look at that body drop.
[NOISE] >> That's a long way down.
>> Let me tell you something going for you right there from the big guy.
>> And Reigns, takes out Noble again.
Seth Rollins takes advantage of another distraction.
>> I think that's it.
>> Goes for the win and Reigns stays in.
[NOISE] >> People talking about Roman Reigns.
I mean,
he's got a lot to deal with Seth Rollins on his own because the kid is good.
>> Yeah, but then you had Mercury and Noble to the match.
>> Exactly my point.
>> Come on Seth.
>> They really don't know how good Seth Rollins really good piece.
[NOISE] >> Seth going to the top rope,
looking to put Roman Reigns away.
[NOISE] Uh-oh, Reigns caught him, Reigns looking for the win.
Shoulders down now.
>> One, two.
>> Uh-oh, the power of Reigns.
>> Whoa, man.
>> For the victory over Rollins who stays in it.
>> Barely.
>> l hope Brock Lesnar is looking at this.
>> Look at this.
>> Moments ago again, J and J getting involved in the match-up, and
it allow Seth Rollins to take over.
But now we're in a stalemate both men down center the ring.
>> One, two.
[NOISE] >> This is earlier on when Mercury tried
to get involved.
And again, Rollins will take advantage.
[NOISE] Rollins back to his feet first trying to
neutralize Roman Reigns and the power.
And here comes Reigns.
>> You don't want to go toe
to toe with this guy.
[NOISE] >> Uh-oh,
Rollins launched over the top rope.
[NOISE] And now Big Show coming
to the aid of Seth here.
Guys, look out, Roman Reigns of the apron taking Big Show out.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And now Roman, come on now,
Kane with a steel chair.
Again, the officials got his hands full.
There's people all over the place.
The official can't watch all this stuff, Rollins for
the victory, he's gonna steal one here, but Reigns kicks out at two.
[NOISE] >> Come on Seth.
>> Roman Reigns is staying in there- >> Finish it.
>> Much to the chagrin- >> Finish it
>> Of The authority.
But Booker watch this kick earlier by Seth Rollins.
>> I mean right to the chin.
Let me tell you something.
>> My God.
>> A normal man that would have knocked him out cold but not Roman Reigns.
Brock Lesnar you better be ready.
>> I'm inclined to agree with you Book.
[NOISE] That was impressive by Roman Reigns.
>> Yeah, but look at Seth Rollins, Rollins, Rollins going for the Curb Stomp.
Reigns felt it coming, Superman Punch.
>> No.
