Roman Reigns, Mark Henry, Seth Rollins and Kane promo
Reigns started to talk about Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman, and there attempts to intimidate him, but he was interrupted by Henry.
Henry said he came out last week wanting to see what Reigns had in the ring. He said that Reigns really impressed him. He said that he is expecting Reigns to beat Lesnar at WrestleMania, and he’s putting all his money on him. That’s when Rollins and Kane made their entrance.
Kane mocked Henry, wondering when he became a “self-help guru.” He said Henry can’t believe that Reigns has a shot against Lesnar. Rollins held up the briefcase and said that anything can happen at WrestleMania.
Rollins said the world is buzzing about his upcoming match with Randy Orton, but he said that Orton is not in the building tonight, nor will he be. He said that J & J have done everything in their power to stop Orton from stepping foot in the building.
Rollins said this isn’t about protecting him, it’s about protecting Orton. He said that he’s going to save up all the hostility he has for Orton, and he’s going to take it all out on him in Levi’s Stadium.
Kane announced that him and Rollins would take on Reigns and Henry tonight.
The way they’re having people come in and put Reigns over on the mic is offensive. Nobody in their right mind should think that Reigns can beat Lesnar, and Henry comes off looking stupid for thinking that Reigns has a prayer.
