Brock Lesnar’s music hits, and the crowd explodes as he makes his way to the ring with Paul Heyman. The crowd chants, “Suplex City” for quite a bit as they soak it all in. Heyman starts off by saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and I am the advocate for the Cadillac crushing, J&J conquering – I’m not done yet – badass avenger who this Sunday night makes Seth Rollins pay for his sins, the Beast of Battleground, Brock Lesnar!” The crowd gives him a tremendous round of applause. Heyman says his heart is pounding through his chest. Seth Rollins’ music interrupts, and he makes his way to the stage with Kane. Rollins surveys the damage done to the Cadillac. A “Justin Bieber” chant breaks out. Rollins asks if Lesnar is really proud of himself. Rollins is happy this puts a smile on Lesnar’s face because he’ll wipe the smile off his face this Sunday. Last week, Rollins gave him every opportunity to come out and conduct himself like a man, but he chose to be a coward. All of that aggression inside him, he chose to take out his aggression on an inanimate object. Rollins gets tongue twisted and tells the crowd to shut up as they laugh at his misfortunes. Rollins says he’s still shaken up about this now. What’s worse is Lesnar is parading the car around the country like a trophy. Lesnar talks about it being a symbol of what he’ll look like after Battleground. Rollins says he can have the car as a symbol because the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is his symbol. Rollins is everything that’s right about WWE. He’s a real champion. Lesnar is a thug, criminal, and a vandal. This Sunday at Battleground, he’ll take a trip to Suplex City, bring the matches and gasoline, and he’ll burn it to the ground.

Brock Lesnar’s music hits, and he comes out to another nice reception with Paul Heyman by his side. Lesnar gets in the ring as a “Suplex City” kicks up. Lesnar takes a seat and stares at Rollins. Rollins cautiously takes a seat. Rollins looks at Heyman, and Heyman warns him to never take his eyes off The Beast. Rollins does have to listen to what he has to say. Ever since Rollins betrayed his brothers of The Shield, Heyman has wanted to see someone get their hands on him. Ever since Rollins sold his soul to bill himself as the undisputed future of WWE, the crowd has wanted to see someone get their hands on him. Ever since Rollins violated the 11th Commandment, “Thou shalt not intentionally provoke Brock Lesnar,” ever since he cashed in Money in the Bank, and stole the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Brock Lesnar has wanted to get his hands on him. The problem as Heyman sees it is that the pressure is on Rollins. We’re six days away. This Sunday night, everyone paying to watch Battleground is paying to see Rollins get his ass kicked. Heyman swears by his god of retribution, every single person is going to get their money’s worth. This Sunday night at Battleground, Rollins will get his ass kicked. Rollins will get beat up, hurt, slapped, punched, suplexed, F-5ed, pinned, and dethroned. This Sunday night at Battleground, Rollins is going to Suplex City. Rollins will be dragged down there by one Beast, one Conqueror, and the real future of WWE, Brock Lesnar.
Heyman drops the microphone and tells Rollins to sign the contract. A “Suplex City” chant breaks out. Rollins signs the contract and shoves it toward Lesnar. Heyman informs Lesnar that he already read it and it’s safe to sign. Lesnar signs it, and Rollins begins to reach under the table. Heyman yells at him to get his hands on the table. Rollins says Heyman has a devious mind. Rollins asks if he’s paranoid. Out of nowhere, Lesnar flips the table over. Rollins looks terrified as Lesnar stands up and reaches down to pick up an axe handle. Kane takes a big gulp. Lesnar holds it up before flipping the table upright with one hand, sits down, and places the handle on the table. Heyman says, “Oh my god did you screw up!” Lesnar simply waits for Rollins to make a move.
Rollins quickly grabs the axe handle and shoves the chair aside. Lesnar throws the table into Rollins’ face and attacks Kane! Rollins attacks him from behind, but Lesnar counters with a massive German Suplex! Lesnar clotheslines Kane out of the ring, but Kane lands on his feet and pulls Lesnar out.

Rollins hits him with the axe handle before holding him up for Kane to hit with the steel steps. Kane slams the steps off his back before booting him in the head. Rollins goes for a Pedigree on the steel steps, but Rollins pops up and slams him into the barricade! Lesnar leaps off the steps into a Chokeslam attempt from Kane, but Lesnar gets out! Lesnar then gives Kane an F-5 on the floor! Rollins quickly runs away before Lesnar can get him. Lesnar then sets up Kane’s foot on the lower half of the steel steps before slamming the top half off his foot! Kane screams in pain Lesnar just stares at him. Lesnar holds up the WWE World Heavyweight Championship as the crowd loudly cheers him! Lesnar drops the title and walks off with Heyman as replays are shown.
Rollins returns to the ring and throws the table. Rollins throws a chair out of the ring and grabs the microphone. Rollins says from day one, Lesnar has come in here and thought he was untouchable. Lesnar ran through The Undertaker, John Cena, and Roman Reigns, but he hasn’t run through him. At WrestleMania, he took the title from him because he’s better than Lesnar. The crowd boos this. In six days at Battleground, he’ll do what no other man on this earth can do – he’ll prove that Lesnar is not a machine or a monster. Lesnar is a man with a pulse that can be beat. Rollins says he’ll rip that stupid sword tattoo off his chest, cut him in half, and forever be known as the man who slayed the beast!
Rollins goes to leave the ring with the title before looking over at the EMTs that are treating Kane. Rollins yells at Kane and mocks him for the big plan. Rollins asked how it worked out for him. This is just like Kane’s career – one big disappointment. Kane is nothing without him. Now Kane is without him, so he’s nothing. Rollins told him when it didn’t work out it was on Kane. Rollins calls him a piece of crap and wannabe Hall of Famer. Rollins says, “Well, it’s on you” before dropping the microphone and walking off. Rollins turns around and stomps the supposedly fractured ankle of Kane. Kane screams in misery as Rollins storms off with the title. Rollins holds it up as the crowd boos him.
