Freddy : Fans Undertaker has one the match because this man Bobby Lashley threw in the towel on behalf of Seth Rollins . I guess my question Bobby is , why ?
Lashley : Freddy . Don’t let Takers American Bad Ass hero gimmick fool you . And that’s all it is , it’s a gimmick . He’s no hero . Hell I doubt he even knows what kind of bike he rides down to the ring he’s on . He’s a fraud . Always has been always will be . The guy can’t decide if he wants to be a cowboy or a biker . He’s two fourths of the village people if you think about it . What next a construction worker and a cop . Maybe an Indian . Look when Taker wrestled me , he used some rather shady tactics unbecoming of a champion .
As much as I hate Seth Rollins , Taker was destroying that man . Trying to end his career . Seth , you gotta love the guy’s spirit, but he’s more heart than brains . He wasn’t going to lay down and take the fall or just give up , because in his confused emo head , he still thinks he was ok . Well Seth wasn’t ok and I wasn’t going to allow it . I don’t want to see a man’s career end because our World Heavyweight Champion has personality disorder to try and prove he’s some kind of super hero . You want heroes there are plenty in this business . Verne Gange US Marine . Sgt . Slaughter , US Marine and of course me , Bobby Lashley a walking talking good old fashioned Army grunt that fought for my coun…..
Rollins hits Lashley with a chair in the back of the head . He then places the chair underneath Lashley he gets ready to get another chair , but Lashley gets to his hands and knees quickly . Rollins hits a curb stomp on the chair instead and the shakes his head in disgust at the man who just helped him . He walks up the aisle .
Gordon : We have to get order restored . We’ll be back .
