Rollins then says in a few minutes time, his dog Bron Breakker has an opportunity to do the same thing to another person who has been a thorn in their side, Penta. Rollins then says there are a lot of people who think they have what it takes to exist at the very top. Rollins then says champions like John Cena and GUNTHER, their respective challengers CM Punk and Goldberg or those left in the King of the Ring, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso and Randy Orton.
