Triple H: “Monday night I showed everyone that while I may not be in control in name, that I am the real one in control. I will always be in control. I AM the game and no one plays the game like I do. I always have a plan. Monday night I had my plan in place when I introduced the newest member of Evolution, AJ Styles.” The crowd boos loudly as Styles grabs the mic.
Styles: “Everyone wants to know why I would join Triple H and I say, why wouldn’t I? Why wouldn’t I join one of the living legends in our business? When I worked with Ric Flair years ago I heard a lot about Triple H and when I had the chance to join Evolution I jumped at the chance. You see, this deal has been in the works since Wrestlemania. You see neither Orton nor Batista were EVER part of the plan.”
Rollins: “Sunday night at Payback Ambrose may have gotten the better of me but Triple H pulled me aside and reminded me that I needed to seize the moment and not let the moment seize me. Tonight, I WILL seize that moment.”
Galloway: “Tonight I make a challenge to anyone in the back to a United States championship match tonight.”
Triple H: “Everyone has to understand that Evolution is here to stay and Evolution is an entity. Evolution is going to take over WWF and there isn’t anyone in the back that can do a thing about it.”
CM Punk comes out to the stage and begins to make his way towards the ring when Edge makes his way to the ring.
Edge: “Hold on Punk. I know you want to get your hands on AJ Styles and Triple H and you will, but it wont happen until RAW next week. As for Triple H, I know Orton has plans for you as well. But that will be dealt with next week as well. As for you Galloway, you want a challenge, well don’t worry because I have someone very special in mind for you later tonight so get that title shied up really nicely because I don’t think you’ll be leaving with it.”
The show fades as well go to commercial. When we come back we find out that Chris Jericho will face off with Mark Henry in a King of the Ring qualifying match. Also NXT Women’s Champion Paige will be in action as she faces Nikki Bella in the women’s contenders tournament. The tag titles will be on the line and John Cena is in the house to face Sheamus in tonight’s main event.
In the opening bout Chris Jericho faced off against Mark Henry in a King of the Ring qualifying match. The World’s Strongest Man used his strength to get the early advantage but Jericho was able to get back in control. Jericho was able to use his speed to take Henry down and send him to the mat. Henry fought back and took Jericho down with several power moves. As Henry was setting Jericho up for the World’s Strongest Slam Ryback’s music hit the speakers and Henry drops Jericho and goes towards the side of the ring near the ramp. Ryback never showed and Henry turned around. This distraction allowed Jericho to get up and hit Henry with the Codebreaker as he turned around to pick up the win. Henry got irate and Jericho rolled out of the ring. Henry was about to go after him when Ryback actually made his appearance
The next match saw NXT Women’s Champion, Paige make her main brand debut in a Women’s Contenders tournament match and she held her own against Nikki. The match went back and forth and Paige was able to hit the Paige-Turner on Nikki and pick up the win to move on in the contender’s tournament.
The next match featured United States champion Drew Galloway making good on his open challenge and making his way to the ring. Edge came out to the stage to introduce his opponent.
Edge: “Galloway, you might want to think next time before you talk because I have an opponent for you that you definitely didn’t expect to be facing tonight. I give you my “brother” and multi-time champion, making his return to the ring for the first time since March, Christian.”
Galloway doesn’t look really excited about this but he welcomes the challenge. Christian shakes Edge’s hands and rushes the ring and Galloway doesn’t have an answer for him. The two men battle and hit several big moves on each other. Christian takes Galloway down with several dropkicks and a big missile dropkick which sent him flying out of the ring. As the ref was making the count on Galloway, Seth Rollins made his way through the crowd, pulled Christian out of the ring, delivered a curb stomp outside the ring, then tossed him back in the ring, went around and tossed Galloway back in the ring. Galloway got up, picked up Christian and then hit him with the Future Shock DDT to retain his title. After the match the two men beat down Christian with them hitting a Future Shock DDT/Curb Stomp combo on Christian. As the two men left the ring Edge came back out and said they much think they are special but next week Rollins will face Christian in a King of the Ring qualifying match.
Next up was the match for the tag team championship featuring former champions, The Usos against the new champions, Killer Elite Squad. This was a brutal rematch. The Usos went right after the K.E.S. and used their speed and teamwork to get the early advantage. They hit a toss samoan drop and a slam top rope splash combo on Archer but it wasn’t enough to pick up the win. They hit several superkicks as well. The K.E.S. fought back and were able to hit the Killer Bomb following a running powerslam by Smith to retain the titles. After the bout the K.E.S. beat down The Usos even bringing weapons into the ring when..
SIERRA…HOTEL…INDIA…ECHO…LIMA…DELTA…SHIELD!
Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose come out through the crowd. The crowd goes wild and the K.E.S. toss The Usos out of the ring and await for the SHIELD to enter. The SHIELD play some mind games and wait outside the ring a minute. The look at each other then charge into the ring taking down the K.E.S. The two teams brawl until the K.E.S. get away and SHIELD checks on The Usos.
After a break Bray Wyatt came to the ring.
Wyatt: “I am the Eater of Worlds and despite taking out everyone’s golden boy John Cena, Cena is still involved in tonight’s main event. Tonight I begin taking out every member of the WWF roster until I get my rightful spot at the top of WWF. Tonight I issue a challenge to anyone in the back who believes they have any chance at beating me.”
Out of the back comes Rob Van Dam to a huge cheer. RVD rushes to the ring and goes right at Wyatt but it would seem that his adrenaline got the best of him as Wyatt quickly got control and hit Sister Abigail for a surprisingly quick win.
In the main event, John Cena took on Sheamus. On Sunday Sheamus turned his back on his friend saying that Cena wasn’t there for him when he was there for Cena. Cena is still hobbling from Sunday night’s brutal match but he rushed to the ring to attack Sheamus. Some of the highlights: Cena with a big belly to belly for a 2 count. Cena with a big sit-out hip toss. Sheamus hit White Noise but Cena reached the ropes. Cena locked in the STF but Sheamus got to the ropes. Sheamus ended up winning the match after hitting the Brogue Kick for the win. After the match, Sheamus beat down Cena more as the show ended.
