Raw Review: The Road to WrestleMania Takes Shape

Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns promo

Rollins said that Jon Stewart was done filming his show, and that he was on his way to Raw. He said that Stewart should turn around and go home. He said that he isn’t a comic foil to Stewart, and that this isn’t a Jerry Lawler/Andy Kauffman situation.

Rollins said that he can do Stewart’s job better than he can, and that he is the future of the WWE. He said that unlike Stewart’s show, which gives away tickets for free, everybody in the Prudential Center paid their way in, and is there to see him.

Reigns interrupted and told Rollins that he wanted to hear the crowd tell him, “You suck,” in person. Rollins said that he is worth more than Michael Jordan; he can out-talk Stewart; he can out-rap Wiz Khalifa; he can out-eat Mark Henry; and he can out-wrestle Reigns. Rollins said that he is going to be the next WWE World Heavyweight Champion in person.

Rollins said that Reigns can’t beat Brock Lesnar. Rollins said he’s been in the ring with Lesnar and Reigns, and he knows Reigns can’t beat Lesnar, but that he can.

Reigns asked if Rollins was man enough to cash-in the contract to join the main event of WrestleMania, to make it a Triple Threat Match, so that he would then have to beat Reigns and Lesnar. Rollins said he could, or he could wait until after Reigns and Lesnar tear each other apart, then cash-in on the winner. Rollins also said he could wait until the next night, when the whole world is watching the fallout.

Rollins continued, but Reigns stopped him and said he could just punch Rollins in the mouth, then he did. J & J Security tried to help, but Jamie Noble took a Superman Punch, and Joey Mercury took a spear.

Rollins was given more time than he was needed, and it really fell apart when Reigns started talking, which brought out the “CM Punk” chants. However, Reigns looked good in the outright destruction of J & J. He should be doing more of that.

Rollins was regrouping when he ran into Orton.

Orton called the punch from Reigns, “Embarrassing”, and asked where J & J were. Rollins said that Rollins should demand a one-on-one match with Reigns tonight. Orton said that would give Rollins a chance to prove himself.

Rollins said he appreciates the advice, but that he’ll handle the situation on his own.
