RAW


Seth Rollins comes out to open the post-Rumble episode of Raw.


The Architect talks about winning the Rumble last night because he had the most heart. He says he was trying to avoid pointing at the sign but feels like he has to right now.


Rollins talks about having the choice to battle Lesnar or Bryan at WrestleMania. Before he can decide, Triple H's music hits and he heads to the ring.


Triple H jokes a bit about the sign pointing before getting serious. He says Rollins stepped up to the challenge last night and proved how good he is. He says Seth has to make his choice about Mania tonight. He hypes appearances from Lesnar and Bryan later when Seth chooses. Dean Ambrose's music hits before Rollins can respond.


Ambrose said he was the one who was by Rollins' side when they were making $500 a month and tries to paint Triple H as the bad guy. Trips interrupts and Ambrose says this conversation doesn't concern him. Dean says Rollins has never been able to beat him fairly and asks Triple H to book a match between them right now. The Game tries to walk away and Ambrose mocks him about having to ask Vince for permission. Triple H calls for a referee and makes the match official.

Elias is in the ring after the break and the crowd chants for him. Elias says he has been testing the crowd and they have been letting him down. He says everyone should be giving him a standing ovation before he even plays a note. And, is interrupted by Jeff Jarret.
