WWE Raw Results returned as Shinsuke Nakamura cut another cool promo where he called Seth Rollins a manipulator and said he brings shame to his family and he’s going to finish him.
Nakamura then said he’ll challenge Rollins when he wants to. In response, Rollins came out to the ring.
After welcoming everyone to Monday Night Rollins, he admitted he’s everything Nakamura claims he is, but he’s also a father, a fighter, and our World Heavyweight Champion.
He said for a long time he didn’t know who he was, so in the Authority he surrounded himself with people that would lie to his face.
And he kept trying to figure it out and built his current facade until he figured out he needs to be himself and that’s why the fans sing his song.

He can look his daughter in the eyes, be at peace with his past, and look toward the future. He added that he didn’t come there to talk, but he came there to fight.
Rollins thinks their match at Payback took more out of Nakamura than he’s letting on, so Rollins laid the belt on the mat and challenged him to a match right there and then.
Once again, Nakamura responded by playing his music, but it the titantron showed Nakamura beating up Ricochet backstage.
He said he would’ve fought him, but he thought Rollins wasn’t medically cleared and he fought already and apologize he won’t be able to take his title today.
