[APPLAUSE] >> I've got a secret.
I've got some breaking news, you guys.
Wanna hear the breaking news?
>> [NOISE] >> You wanna hear the breaking news?
>> [NOISE] >> Give me a little drumroll,
give me a little drumroll, give me a little drumroll,
yeah, yeah, yeah, it is official, at day 1 Atlanta Georgia.
It's gonna be Big E versus Seth Freakin Rollins for the WWE Championship.
>> [NOISE] >> Wow,
that is incredible, what a way to kick off the new year.
>> The first day in my next championship reign,
a reign that will define the future of Monday Nights,
that will define the future of this business
because I am a visionary, I am a revolutionary.
I am Seth Freaking Rollins.
[LAUGH] >> Rollins never disappoints day one.
WWE Championship, that's huge.
>> Yeah, that is huge.
But listen, Seth Rollins coming out look forward to new years day and
as WWE Championship match next, yet.
Because he's got unfinished business with The Prince.
>> There's a look in Finn Balor's eyes.
I like last week, he's running through his mind right now.
>> And Balor bringing the fight to The Visionary once
again before the opening bell.
>> Going right after him.
He didn't respect me.
I'm not gonna respect you.
>> [CROSSTALK] >> Wow.
>> God! >> God, goodness.
>> Finn Balor is in a different state right now.
And quite frankly, you can't blame him.
>> Balor taking on Rollins, stop him at your own peril,
that's what Seth Rollins is finding out right now.
>> Good luck stopping Finn Balor right now in this state of mind.
>> Finn Balor is furious but Rollins creates a little separation.
And The Visionary once again regains control.
This match still haven't officially begun.
>> But, gentlemen, when we have a match.
>> Think about the momentum right now for Seth Rollins.
Survivor Series love him or hate him, like him dislike him, yet
incredible performance was the leader of that team and the sole survivor.
He's ridding higher right now, Byron.
>> Of course, Seth Rollins is riding high, reminds us every single week.
But if I'm Finn Balor right now, this is a must win for me.
I'm tired of hearing Seth Rollins brag about how he's superior to everyone else.
I wanna [INAUDIBLE] Seth Rollins tonight or do whatever it takes.
>> But the difference between Seth Rollins and a lot of superstars, Saxon,
is Seth will tell you how great he is and back it up in the ring.
Look what he's about to do now, looking for the stomp and
look at the counter from Finn Balor.
>> On motion, energy and accuracy.
>> Now we're gonna try this perhaps one more time.
>> Rollins once again in the drop zone, Coup de Grâce in coming.
Out just in time.
>> Roll up.
>> Shoulders down.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> [CROSSTALK]
>> You're absolutely right.
Both athletes went to the same play in their playbooks.
Both men are down, the playing field is even who wants it more?
Will it be Balor?
Will it be Rollins?
>> We talk about a game of inches, this is a match of inches.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> We're having a battle on Long Island.
>> Once again, same offense from both competitors, both superstars, same result.
>> Wow.
>> They are both Finn Balor and Seth Rollins.
Who will get the edge?
>> You don't wanna take one of these and they are trading that look at that.
>> [LAUGH] Rollins answers with an Enziguri of his own, Balor is rock.
>> Balor still on his feet but barely.
>> Who can take advantage of the right time?
That's the question!
>> Balor drives the elbow to the heart of Seth Rollins.
Finn could be looking to end this.
I'm not sure if they got Balor in the eye cuz-
>> I think it did.
>> Intentional or otherwise, it might have been a fist.
>> Other side of the referee though, rolling elbow to the back of Finn's neck.
>> And now the stomp, cover.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> The visionary reigns.
>> Here is your winner, Seth Rollins.
>> [APPLAUSE]
