Contract Signing: Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman

One-half of the RAW Tag Team Champions Braun Strowman makes his way to the ring for a contract signing. The other half of the RAW Tag Team Champions, as well as the current WWE Universal Champion, Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring as well. Both men sit across from each other at a table in the ring.

Michael Cole is in the ring and says they’ll be facing each other in two weeks at WWE Clash of Champions for the Universal Title. Before that match, they will have to defend their RAW Tag Team Championships against Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. Cole asks Rollins what his mindset is. Rollins says he’s going in as a double champion, he will burn it down, and walk out as a double champion. Rollins can’t speak for Strowman, but that’s his plan. Strowman chuckles and says no one speaks for him. They will beat Roode and Ziggler at Clash of Champions, but he can’t imagine how awkward it’s going to be when his Tag Champion partner beats him for the Universal Championship. Rollins says Strowman may be a Monster Among Men, but to win this Universal Title he had to slay the beast, which is something Strowman couldn’t do. At Clash of Champions to keep the title, he will slay a monster. Rollins signs the contract.

Strowman goes to sign the contract, but The OC’s music hits. WWE United States Champion AJ Styles makes his way to the stage with Gallows and Anderson. A loud “AJ Styles” chant picks up. Cole reminds Styles that they’re doing a contract signing. Styles says history will be made at Clash of Champions. We’ll see the Tag Champions defend their titles and then face each other for the Universal Title. Why does Strowman get an opportunity? Just because he looked at the title? By proxy, the United States Champion should be next in line. Who is Styles supposed to face at Clash of Champions? Maybe he’ll walk around and see who wants to take a gander at his championship to find the opponent. It also continues to get more ridiculous. Why does Bobby, er Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler get an opportunity over a real team like the Good Brothers? If they don’t get what they want, then no one is going to get what they want. The OC gets on the apron. Cole tries to remind him that they’re doing a contract signing, but Styles tells him to shut up or he’ll slap his teeth down his throat. Styles gets in the ring, takes the contract, and tears it up.

Strowman throws the table into Styles. Strowman and Rollins clear the ring of Gallows and Anderson as we go to commercial.

Banks of all people has no reason to be whining. Banks was the centerpiece of NXT while she was the sidekick.

Banks and Charlotte Flair were the centerpieces while she was an afterthought. Lynch proved them to be frauds and calls Banks a “delusional little weirdo.” The crowd chants, “Becky.”

The only reason Lynch has all that stuff is because Nia Jax broke her face. Banks wishes Jax broke her face so people would care. This isn’t about business. It’s personal She reminds Lynch that she beat her down with a chair. Did that feel personal? Lynch challenges her to a fight in Baltimore. Banks says she’s not doing anything for free for these people. She’ll do it when she wants and for the paycheck. The next time she faces Lynch will be for the RAW Title at Clash of Champions. Lynch said all she had to do was ask. What’s a bigger occasion in wrestling than The Man vs. The Boss? Lynch accepts. Banks says after Clash of Champions, The Man will be The Boss’ Bitch. Banks walks off.

After commercials, it’s official: Becky Lynch will defend the RAW Women’s Championship against Sasha Banks at WWE Clash of Champions in two weeks.
