In the ring, Adam Pearce welcomes us to Monday Night RAW. As he begins to talk we see a car pull up in the parking lot on the screen. Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed & Paul Heyman get out and make their way to the ring. Pearce says he’s glad they’re out here because he wants them to hear this directly from him. Pearce says that Breakker and Reed badly injured Seth Rollins and now he’s had to get surgery and Rollins is on the shelf. Pearce announces that Rollins has been stripped of his World Heavyweight Championship and they will crown a new champion at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Pearce announces there will be an over-the-top Battle Royal to determine who will face CM Punk at Saturday Night’s Main Event. He then tells us the Battle Royal will be tonight. Pearce then asks Breakker to hand over the World Heavyweight Championship. Breakker asks Pearce what happens if he doesn’t hand it over. Heyman tries to calm down Breakker and Breakker asks Pearce to show him some respect and ask nicely. Pearce asks again, respectfully. Breakker tells Pearce to say please. Pearce asks again, respectfully, and includes please. Breakker hands the championship to Heyman and Heyman gives the belt to Pearce. Pearce leaves the ring and Heyman gets on the mic and asks why everyone is so mad at him, Breakker and Reed. Heyman says it’s easy to boo them and think they’re the bad guys but he fails to understand what they did to deserve the hate. He says The Vision has nothing to do with Seth Rollins and everything they’ve done with Rollins wasn’t because Rollins, but it was for Breakker and Reed. This had nothing to do with Rollins and they were using Rollins so everyone could see it was The Vision over anything. Heyman says Rollins isn’t a workhorse or a visionary but a bum shoulder bitch because he got injured. Heyman says winners write history and that’s what Reed and Breakker will do. Heyman talks about how Breakker and Reed are the future and how the new future of the company now changes.
