Seth points out that he is the leader, and that the WWE Universe needs someone to guide them, and that has to be him. The light in the darkness.

Drew pretends to be inspired by Seth's speech, and says that Seth is actually full of shit. 

He then says that nothing Seth ever did was Seth's fault. He did not care what was going on in Seth's head, but he knew that he would not let Seth win the title, no matter what.

He promises Seth that he will finish him at Money in the Bank.

Seth signs the contract, and begins to say something else, but Drew bounces him off the table and hits him with the Glasgow Kiss.
