John Cena And Kevin Owens Promo Segment
After a commercial break, we come back and we hear the theme music of the current WWE United States Champion — John Cena. Cena gets his usual mixed-bag reaction, with some of the fans cheering, and most of them boo’ing.
Cena talks about Kevin Owens and how Owens thinks he disrespected him by telling him he belongs in the WWE.
Owens finally hears enough. His music plays and out comes the NXT Champion, who chooses to remain at the top of the stage with a microphone. Owens talks about how he wants the WWE United States Championship if he beats John Cena.
Owens says something in a different langauge. He asks Cena “what do you say, buddy? assuming that he’s tricking him into accepting a stipulation he doesn’t understand. Cena responds by saying something in the same language back to him. Then he says it again in Chinse. Finally, he says it in English.
Cena says at Battleground, if you want a fight, you got it, I accept. He says his final message anyone in the world will understand — I will kick your ass. He yells “The Champ Is Here!” as he raises his U.S. title proudly as his theme plays to end the segment.
Backstage: Seth Rollins & The Authority
We head backstage where WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins approaches Triple H and Stephanie McMahon — The Authority. Rollins basically sucks up to HHH and Stephanie. HHH tells Rollins to cut the crap. He says he wants J&J Security back because Brock Lesnar is back.
HHH says Lesnar is back because they believe in Rollins and believe he can beat him, but he’s scared. He says he should be scared, but a real champion should always fight. He says a smart man will always figure out a Plan B, a backup plan. He says a smart man — like you — walks down to that ring and apologizes.
He says three little words can make this all go away. He tells him to go say — I …Am …Sorry. Rollins asks what if Lesnar shows up. HHH asks him, as he pats him on the shoulder where the title is draped across, how bad he wants “this family.” We head to another commercial break.
The Bella Twins (with Alicia Fox) vs. Naomi & Tamina
When we return from the break, The Bella Twins music hits and out comes Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Alicia Fox. Highlights are shown from last week’s SmackDown that shows why Alicia Fox is now aligned with The Bella Twins.
After the SmackDown video package, we return live to RAW where it’s time for Divas tag-team action. The Bella Twins will be taking on Naomi and Tamina.
The bell sounds and here we go. Naomi and Brie Bella kick things off for their respective teams. Naomi immediately goes to work on Brie in the corner and tags in Tamina.
Tamina comes in and picks up where Naomi left off, taking it to Brie. Eventually, Naomi hits the Rear View on one of the Bellas, however the finish saw Nikki hit the Rack Attack on Naomi for the 1-2-3.
Winners: The Bella Twins
