Charly Caruso is joined backstage by Kevin Owens, who just takes the microphone. Owens says he heard every word Seth Rollins said earlier tonight; that everyone should strive to be better, more like him. Owens says the biggest difference between him and Seth is that he has known who he is since the day he laced-up a pair of boots. Owens says he is the same man who walked in the door of WWE, and he hasn’t changed at any turn. Rollins though, has been and done everything he thinks the company has needed or wanted. All that has done however is turn Seth into a whiny prick. He calls Seth “Mr Crossfit” and says that Stunner earlier tonight was just the beginning. Tonight he turns Monday Night Rollins into the Kevin Owens Show.
