00:00Kane teams up with his partner Seth Rollins to take on Roman Reigns and Randy Orton.
00:07And you know one of the reasons the WWE app has been downloaded for free over 18.3 million times is for nights like this.
00:15Because it's up to you WWE fans to decide who will face Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in Payback.
00:23Will it be Randy Orton? Will it be Roman Reigns? Or will it be Randy Orton and Roman Reigns in a triple threat match? Voting's open now.
00:32You get to decide what the main event of the pay-per-view is.
00:37Roman Reigns, set for tag team action. And we can tell you this, after our main event, our big tag team match, where Reigns teams with Randy Orton to take on Seth Rollins and Kane, we're being told that we will reveal the results of our WWE app vote tonight.
01:06Now you can still vote right now guys. Who is Seth Rollins going to defend against in Payback? Roman Reigns? Randy Orton? Or both?
01:15I like the latter.
01:16In a triple threat match.
01:17You get to vote. How incredible is that? You decide the main event.
01:22His tag team partner, from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 250 pounds, the apex predator, Randy Orton!
01:39Randy Orton, interesting comments earlier on tonight, when he said, listen, I'm not a guy to complain, but when a man in your own administration, Seth, talks about you cheating to keep your championship last night, something needs to be done about it.
01:53He was talking about Kane, mentioning that Seth had used the band RKO.
01:57Well, Kane allowed the WWE Universe to decide this main event. I'm not sure that's really a good idea.
02:03Why?
02:05Because I think the authority needs to make all those decisions. Who knows what the WWE Universe is going to decide.
02:10Hey, it's best for business to have the WWE fans happy. The match they want to see at Payback.
02:16It's best when the authority is in control, Michael.
02:34Their opponents, first, weighing in at 323 pounds, Kane!
03:05And his partner, accompanied by Shane and Shane's security, from Davenport, Iowa, weighing in at 217 pounds, he is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins!
03:22I was just going to ask if Rollins and Kane can get along in tag team action tonight, but there was a handshake, perhaps to put them at least on the same page for now.
03:33That handshake is bogus, and you know it. Neither one of them mean it.
03:37Hey, if you're Seth Rollins, you've got to do everything you can to make sure Kane is on your side. He's got enough problems as it is with Reigns and Randy Orton.
03:46Definitely got to wonder, because one minute, Kane wants to rip Seth Rollins' head off. Indeed, he's going to make a match. That's just a big tag match. Can you explain that?
03:58I think Kane must have some type of plan. Either it's a plan to get back on the same page with Seth Rollins by teaming up with him, common enemies make good friends, or there could be a more ulterior motive.
04:12Hey, John, come on. The bottom line, and you know it, is that Kane is just doing what's best for business.
04:17Justin Bieber! Justin Bieber! Justin Bieber!
04:27You know, these Justin Bieber comments are quite uncalled for. You want to understand, Bieber's a salty little guy.
04:37That's how Kane referred to Seth Rollins earlier tonight. That was after Seth Rollins referred to Kane as the Crypt Keeper instead of the Gatekeeper.
04:46It was a mistake.
04:48I can sort of understand how Kane feels, though. Seth Rollins coming out tonight saying he did everything on his own. I mean, Kane had a large part of all of Seth's success so far.
04:58When you're that guy, you've got to have that ego to go with that position. Seth should believe it's him by himself.
05:05But not at expense, John, of alienating the guys who are on your side, like Kane.
05:10Without Kane, Rollins would not be the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
05:16In fact, without Kane, Seth Rollins would have never been the Money in the Bank winner.
05:20Oh, come on. Come on, John. You know it. You called the match.
05:24That is the most revisionist history. You ought to work for the Onion.
05:27Oh, my goodness.
05:29On the New York Times.
05:31Well, this isn't revisionist history. Roman Reigns last night beat Big Show in a Last Man Standing match.
05:36He speared Big Show through the Spanish announce table and then dunked him down.
05:39An incredible performance by Roman Reigns.
05:42I'll agree to that.
05:44And what a month Roman Reigns has had. Remember at WrestleMania?
05:47They knocked off Brock Lesnar.
05:49It wasn't for Seth Rollins.
05:51And that took a lot out of Roman Reigns last night.
05:56Roman Reigns said he was feeling it.
05:59I mean, Seth Rollins, he was feeling it.
06:02He was feeling it.
06:04Roman Reigns said he was feeling it.
06:07I mean, Seth Rollins, he is a selfish individual, but you got to know who's buttering your bread.
06:17Right now, that Kane has been doing a lot of that buttering.
06:23Yeah, but you know what? You got to hand it to Kane, too.
06:26Everything he's been put through, the way Seth Rollins has treated him,
06:29Kane is still doing what's best for business.
06:32What's best for the authority, I guess I should rephrase that.
06:35You know why? Because he's old school. It's about business.
06:39Randy Orton.
06:43And the WWE fans, listen, RKO chance.
06:47Remember, RKO was banned inside the cage last night.
06:50It's legal tonight, though.
06:52Brought a smile to Randy's face.
06:55So you got to wonder,
06:57who do you think the WWE fans are voting for right now in the WWE after face set to pay back in three weeks?
07:04You think it's Roman?
07:06Triple threat.
07:07You think it's Randy? You think it's triple threat?
07:08Triple threat all the way.
07:10I think the WWE Universe want to see Seth Rollins get exactly what he deserves.
07:18And here comes Kane off the tag.
07:20What do you mean? What is that, a victory?
07:22I agree. I'd put him out there. I would add D. I'd put Heath Slater.
07:27What?
07:29What are you talking about?
07:31Heath Slater, he didn't get his chance tonight against John Cena.
07:34He's a tough young man from West Virginia.
07:36And he deserves a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
07:39Why? Oh!
07:41Because you want to open up to everybody.
07:43John, but wait a minute. Heath Slater's not listed. He's not one of the options.
07:45I said I would have listed it, Michael. D, there's not a D.
07:48I said I would have listed a D because I'd give the WWE Universe an option.
07:52Because Seth doesn't have to go out there and get in some crazy triple threat.
07:56The odds of him walking out champion, it's less than one in three.
07:59It's almost impossible if you have Roman Reigns out there and Randy Orton.
08:03But John, why is that? People shouldn't vote for that.
08:05That shouldn't be an option. Why do you have an issue with that?
08:07Both Roman Reigns and Randy Orton deserve opportunities at the championship.
08:10I mean, an argument can be made that Seth Rollins cheated last night.
08:14Michael, you want to see a champion defend it properly.
08:16One-on-one. That's why I say D, Heath Slater.
08:18They got a commercial break coming. You get to shut up.
08:20No, I talk on the app. Go to WWF. I'm still talking.
08:25And I'll be talking the entire stinking commercial.
08:28You must have a point with the authority. We're not going to break quite yet
08:31as Seth Rollins comes in on the tap.
08:33Good. I want to keep talking. D. Vote D.
08:36And Rollins now has Randy Orton exactly where he wants him.
08:40In his corner. Voting for a triple threat is just wrong.
08:43It's a crime against nature. Keep going.
08:46We're taking a break. We'll be back in a little while, Roman.
08:49Join me on the WWF. We're going to commercial. I'm not near done talking.
08:56And we are back live on Monday Night Raw.
08:58This is our main event. Randy Orton teaming with Kane against
09:02I should say Randy Orton teaming with Roman Reigns.
09:04Sorry, against Seth Rollins and Kane. I'm so excited about this
09:06because after this match, guys, we know what's going to happen.
09:09We're going to find out who Seth Rollins faces at Payback.
09:13Who he defends his championship against.
09:15Voting underway on the WWE app. Will it be Roman Reigns?
09:18Will it be Randy Orton? Or will it be a triple threat
09:20with both Orton and Roman Reigns?
09:22I made my vote.
09:24Look, I've said enough. But I'll say a few more things.
09:27People should not vote for that triple threat match.
09:29It's unfair.
09:31People want to see a one-on-one championship match.
09:34Oh!
09:36People want to see how good Seth Rollins is.
09:38Oh! Cover!
09:40Oh! And Orton at two!
09:42See how good Seth is without help.
09:44Well, Seth defeated Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
09:47And last night, he defeated Randy Orton.
09:49That's pretty good.
09:51Like I said, without help, Judd.
09:53There's a lot of distractions in that match, to say the least.
10:00Rollins is taking control here.
10:05So far, Seth Rollins and Kane appear to be on the same page.
10:11Thought that handshake was bogus.
10:13I actually still do think it was.
10:17And the thing is, I like Seth Rollins.
10:19I think the guy has the ultimate skills in the middle of that ring.
10:23He can do it all.
10:25I just want to see how good Seth Rollins really is
10:28under the bright lights.
10:30Without help from the authority.
10:34And Kane is actually applauding Rollins.
10:37Seemingly, they put their differences aside for this main event tonight.
10:41And Orton with a T-bone suplex.
10:46And now Orton trying to make it to his partner.
10:48Trying to make it to Roman Reigns.
10:50Talking about going for the ride.
10:58Here comes Kane.
11:00And here comes Roman Reigns!
11:03And Reigns down goes Kane!
11:06Two big heavyweights right here, man.
11:08That's what I like.
11:09Roman Reigns all fired up.
11:18Roman has to be feeling the effects of that incredibly brutal match last night.
11:22But you can't tell it here.
11:25And Reigns!
11:28Down goes Kane.
11:30Here comes Seth Rollins right into a Samoan drop.
11:33And over the top rope.
11:36And there goes Kane!
11:37There goes Kane with him.
11:39The adrenaline is flowing right now for the big guy.
11:43Here we go!
11:45Jamie Noble trying to get into the matchup.
11:47Distracting the referee, Mercury.
11:49I don't know how wise that was.
11:51They're doing their job.
11:54And Kane!
11:56As Mercury provided the distraction.
11:58Oh, wow.
12:00Remember, Roman Reigns went through that vicious
12:03last man standing match last night against the Big Show.
12:05Just 24 hours ago.
12:10Oh, man!
12:13Roman Reigns' back has got to be killing him from last night.
12:19Spine on the pole.
12:21I'm going to tell you right now, that does not feel good.
12:31And now Kane begins the assault.
12:34This guy is tough for anyone out here.
12:36Not only with Kane and Rollins,
12:38but he's got J&J security running around.
12:41I don't know what faced last night,
12:43as those two tried to get in the cage at one point.
12:45Eventually did.
12:47Thanks to the gatekeeper, Kane.
12:49There's a lot of communication going on
12:51between Kane and Seth Rollins right now.
12:53These guys are working like a whale oil machine right now.
12:58They're starting to realize that the weakness right now
13:00on Roman Reigns' shoulders,
13:01is the back from all the damage that Big Show did
13:04to Roman Reigns last night.
13:06He chokeslammed him over the top rope,
13:08through two tables.
13:10He put him through a barricade.
13:12Let's not forget about that London cab service.
13:15Yeah, the chokeslam a couple weeks ago.
13:18And Reigns now, right hand,
13:20exchanging with Rollins.
13:22Rollins with a kick, and down goes Roman.
13:24Roman showing signs of life.
13:26Is it enough for Rollins, though, to put him away?
13:28And a kick out at two.
13:29Kane working Roman's back.
13:31As you look at this,
13:33right into the steel post.
13:37That's the start of it.
13:40There's no way that Roman Reigns is at 100%.
13:44He's got to be feeling it
13:46in that lower back, the sciatica.
13:49Right now, Roman's in dire straits.
13:52Wow, that's all taking its toll on Roman.
13:57We know Roman's not a quitter.
13:59He doesn't have quit in his DNA, Judd.
14:02No matter how much non-quit he has in him,
14:05if his body gives out on him,
14:07there's nothing he can do about that.
14:10There's no doubt how tough Roman Reigns is,
14:12but the body gives out on him.
14:14He's got to be feeling it.
14:16He's got to be feeling it.
14:18He's got to be feeling it.
14:19There's no doubt how tough Roman Reigns is,
14:21but the body can only take so much.
14:23Even Roman Reigns.
14:32WWE fans sold out here tonight in Green Bay.
14:36They know Roman's in trouble.
14:38Trying to get Roman to fight back into this,
14:40somehow get to Randy Orton for the tag.
14:43This is Monday Night Raw.
14:45We are live, ladies and gentlemen,
14:47with our main event.
14:49Seth Rollins and immediately following this matchup,
14:52we're going to unveil who the WWE fans voted for
14:55and the WWE fan to face Seth Rollins
14:58in the main event at Payback.
15:00Kane into the cover on Roman Reigns.
15:02Shoulders down, kick out.
15:04Rollins' opponent will either be Roman Reigns,
15:07Randy Orton, or a triple threat match
15:10with Orton and Reigns at Payback.
15:12Find out in just a few moments here.
15:15Tag, here comes Rollins.
15:19Again, working the back of Roman Reigns after the...
15:22Not surprisingly, Seth and Kane are working
15:25very well together as a tag team.
15:28Isolate Roman Reigns.
15:31Much better than Orton and Roman Reigns.
15:40It's a sense that he's going to have to defend
15:42the championship against one or two,
15:44one or maybe both of these guys at Payback.
15:47And here's Kane.
15:59The fight I'm talking about right here, guys.
16:02This is the fight I'm talking about.
16:05Uh-oh, look at this.
16:07Look at Roman.
16:09Brock Lesnar could take him out.
16:11Another right hand.
16:14This Kane is a monster.
16:16He has been wearing Roman Reigns down.
16:21Oh, nice suplex by Reigns.
16:23Creates a bit of separation.
16:27And now can he make a tag to Randy Orton?
16:34Roman Reigns better make that tag to Randy Orton.
16:38He's been trying to make it
16:40for the past five or ten minutes and hasn't.
16:42And not allowing Roman to get to the corner.
16:45Great move by Rollins.
16:54Roman Reigns, look at the win-win here.
16:56Oh, look at Roman.
16:58Wow.
17:00The power of Reigns.
17:02And can he get to Randy?
17:05You saw Roman laboring,
17:07just running the turnbuckle and
17:08still had enough to pull off that big move right there.
17:10Almost there.
17:12This is Roman's best opportunity.
17:14He got him.
17:16Here comes Randy.
17:18Here comes Randy.
17:20The Viper.
17:22Big right hands.
17:26Patented closed backs.
17:30Went for the power slam.
17:32Rollins hung on.
17:34High elbow by Rollins.
17:36Caught Randy right in the bridge of the nose.
17:38Got him there.
17:40The great ones make it look easy.
17:42For the win.
17:44Kane breaking it up.
17:46Me and Seth on the same page.
17:48Working as a great team.
17:50There it is.
17:52Noble.
17:54Goodbye, Jamie.
17:56Might be goodbye Roman here.
17:58Maybe not.
18:00Look at Roman.
18:02Roman powering out of the possible choke slam.
18:04Wow.
18:06Oh, Seth Rollins.
18:08Miscommunication for the first time in this matchup.
18:10As Roman Reigns
18:12sidestepped Rollins.
18:14Delivered the dropkick to Kane.
18:16Oh, no.
18:18Superman punch.
18:20Mercury into Kane.
18:23Look out, guys.
18:25Roman Reigns blasted from behind by Rollins.
18:27And now Randy Orton.
18:29Uh-oh, he's got Rollins where he wants him.
18:31Uh-oh.
18:33Orton with a DDT.
18:35And I mean planted.
18:36Wow.
18:38Listen to this place.
18:40Orton's fired up.
18:42It's already RKO time.
18:44He's going to do it.
18:46Went for the RKO.
18:48Rollins slips underneath.
18:50Going for the win here.
18:52Almost had him.
18:54Oh, and a kick right to the face.
18:56Hold the button.
18:58Bodies everywhere out here in front of us at ringside.
19:07Something to do here.
19:09Oh, my God.
19:11Look out.
19:13Here we go.
19:15Rollins.
19:17Right into Kane.
19:19Wow.
19:21He ran into his own partner as Reigns and Randy Orton split.
19:23Uh-oh.
19:25Kane is.
19:27Kane's in a Mercury.
19:29And.
19:31Oh.
19:33Oh.
19:34Kane has lost it.
19:36Absolutely lost it.
19:38Watch out.
19:40And Kane has lost it.
19:42Kane has lost it.
19:44RKO.
19:46RKO to Rollins.
19:48Cover.
19:50The Athletic Cloning.
19:52Reigns and Orton with a win.
19:54Here are your winners.
19:56Roman Reigns and Orton.
19:58And the winner is.
20:00Roman Reigns.
20:01And Randy Orton.
20:03Kane lost it.
20:05He went off on Seth.
20:07Took out J&J Security.
20:09Randy Orton struck with an RKO.
20:13Well, by losing to Kane,
20:15knocked Seth Rollins right back into a weight viper.
20:17What the?
20:20Now, the question is,
20:22who is going to be facing Seth Rollins?
20:24Is it going to be Orton?
20:26Or is it going to be Orton?
20:28Or is it going to be Orton?
20:29Who is going to be facing Seth Rollins?
20:31This is where all the problems started right here.
20:33Watch this.
20:35Reigns ducked out of the way.
20:37And Rollins dropkicked Kane.
20:39That was his partner.
20:41And then a Superman punch by Roman Reigns here
20:45would take out Mercury of J&J Security right into Kane.
20:49So the problems just continue to escalate for the Authority.
20:53And then that right there was it.
20:55That was the last straw.
20:57Rollins taking out Kane.
20:59And then a Superman punch into an RKO.
21:04Orton and Reigns victorious on Raw.
21:26It's now time to find out
21:29who the WWE voted for to be Seth Rollins' opponent
21:36at Payback.
21:39Will it be Randy Orton?
21:42Will it be Roman Reigns?
21:45Or will it be Orton and Reigns?
21:55Oh no for Seth Rollins.
21:58Triple threat match.
22:00Versus Orton and Reigns at Payback.
22:04This is an impossible situation for Seth.
22:12Seth Rollins better enjoy the next 20 days.
22:18That might be all he has left as WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
22:23The WWE Universe is spoken.
22:25Reigns versus Orton versus Rollins at Payback.
22:39Orton wants it. Reigns wants it. Seth wants it.
22:43We're going to find out at Payback.
22:45John and here is the reaction from Seth Rollins on the news from Kane.
22:51And then Roman Reigns meets him with a spear.
22:55The night just keeps getting worse.
22:58That might be the best thing that happens to Seth for the next three weeks.
23:02For Seth Rollins.
23:06Roman Reigns and Randy Orton pick up the win tonight and they get set
23:10for Payback for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
23:15Well ladies and gentlemen we invite you now to tune in to the WWE Network.
23:20A sneak peek at Jerry Springer's Too Hot for TV.
23:23You can tune in anytime in demand.
23:26The preview is next exclusively on the WWE Network.
