He says he did what he said he’d do, and he changed Brock Lesnar and made him bleed. Reigns says bottom line, he didn’t win because Seth Rollins capitalized on his moment, but he’s beaten Rollins before. He says he will take his moment back and become WWE Champion, but Booker T says he might have that chance if not for Big Show. Reigns says he wishes he could give Show credit, but lately he’s been Rollins’ bitch, which gets a cheer from the crowd.
Show cuts in on the Titantron, and he says all Reigns is doing is deflecting the heat because Reigns lost at Wrestlemania and he won his match. Show calls Reigns wasted potential, and he says he will knock Reigns down any time he wants, but Reigns mocks him for being backstage. Reigns says he’s a guy who likes to fight, but Show is lazy or doesn’t have the balls to face him now, but he has a message. Reigns says they are even for all the times he’s hit Show, but if Show gets involved again he is going to knock his ass into retirement. Reigns goes to leave and poses for the crowd, but Show walks out and attacks him, whipping him into the car onstage before chokeslamming him on the roof.
Randy Orton vs Cesaro
Orton gets the early advantage, and looks to put it away but Kidd interferes and the ref rings the bell.

Fandango says he knows what’s wrong, and he’s been sharing his gift of dance with her (Rosa) when he should share it with the fans. He stands on the commentary table and asks for his music, then they play his original theme and the crowd pops and dances along.
BP: So Naomi turns heel, and I guess Fandango’s a face now? Even if it’s for one night, it was better than the ‘new’ Fandango. He wasn’t getting anywhere with the new gimmick.
Daniel Bryan finds Kane and asks what he is doing, and Kane asks Bryan to please leave. Bryan asks why he’s being polite, then he says he gets it and Kane isn’t acting like the person he knows. He says Kane would Tombstone Rollins and hurt him, but now he’s doing what Rollins and The Authority wants.

Seth Rollins comes out and says he has a great stipulation for his match at Extreme Rules, so he wants to tell Randy Orton to his face. Orton enters the ring and Rollins says he is taking away Orton’s greatest weapon, and the RKO is banned from the match. Orton doesn’t really react much, and he says he was thinking along the same lines, and he wants to take away The Authority from Rollins. He says no one will be able to help Rollins in a steel cage, but Rollins says he’s not scared and Orton is just his first victim. Orton says he guesses they have to give the fan’s their money’s worth now, and he tips Rollins’ chair over and starts attacking J&J. He tries to DDT Rollins but ends up RKOing Mercury, then Rollins runs away and clutches his title on the ramp.
BP: Not a bad show, not a great one. Neville’s match was again a highlight, as was the US title match and the Lucha Dragons offense. Other than that, nothing too great. They made some progress teasing Kane’s turn and building Extreme Rules, but Kane’s turned so many times over the years that it’s pretty pointless to care now.
