Seth “Freakin'” Rollins, Cody Rhodes & Brock Lesnar Kick Off Raw
The familiar sounds of Seth Rollins’ theme plays and the WWE World Heavyweight Champion heads to the ring to a big pop from the B-More crowd. He settles in the ring and his music dies down.
Now he gets on the mic and begins by introducing himself with his many nicknames. He talks about the eventful evening fans were treated to at Money In The Bank, noting some of the things we were witness to at the show.
As he continues talking, the theme for Cody Rhodes hits and “The American Nightmare” heads to the ring. Before he can do his “So, Baltimore, what do you want to talk about?” catchphrase, Brock Lesnar’s theme hits.
“The Beast Incarnate” emerges with his cowboy hat on and a big smile on his face. Rhodes doesn’t wait for him to get to the ring, opting instead to duke it out with him in the entrance way. He ends up getting the better of Lesnar and we head to a commercial break.

When we return from the break, Rollins is in the ring by himself again. He goes to speak but is once again interrupted, this time by The Judgment Day theme. Out comes Mr. Money In The Bank Damian Priest, Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley and “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio.
Ripley tells Rollins that’s enough about him. As they walk to the ring, Rollins mocks Ripley over Finn Balor not being with the group right now. They enter the ring and the two sides argue back and forth. Priest jumps on the mic and says the only thing Rollins needs to worry about is his Money In The Bank briefcase.
Eventually Dominik Mysterio tries getting a turn on the mic, but as always, the crowd craps all over that. Rollins has some fun with this and eventually, we get a challenge for a match and it’s match — Seth Rollins vs. Dominik Mysterio tonight.
