Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman Address Their Actions

Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman make their way to the ring. Rollins, sporting a flashy robe and sunglasses, receives a warm welcome from the crowd, who sing along to his theme song.

Rollins introduces himself as the visionary and revolutionary, reminding the crowd that he’s the winner of the WrestleMania Main Event. He acknowledges the mixed feelings surrounding CM Punk and Roman Reigns, but declares that the future of the WWE is embodied in him, with Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker by his side.

Before Rollins can continue, Sami Zayn’s music hits, and the crowd erupts. Zayn enters the ring and Rollins welcomes him, assuming he saw the WrestleMania Main Event. Zayn, however, isn’t impressed. He calls Rollins’s actions hypocritical, questioning how Rollins differs from the likes of Punk and Reigns, especially with Heyman in his corner.

Zayn challenges Rollins on his claim of being the future, accusing him of being self-centered and jealous. Rollins responds, defending his position and stating that this is the future of the industry. Zayn dismisses Rollins’s claim and warns him that this is not just about Rollins's vision.

Rollins offers Zayn a choice: join them or become a target. He insists it’s not a threat but an offer. He tells Zayn to think it over and gives him until the end of the night to decide. As Rollins and Heyman turn to leave, Breakker glares at Zayn. Heyman steps in to pull Breakker away.
