Micheal Cole is on commentary joined by JBL and Byron Saxton. No Chance hits and out comes Vince McMahon along side with Stephanie McMahon to be the first to enter in the ring at Monday Night RAW tonight.
Vince says it's the day after the Rumble and he's feeling damn good. He says they could care less how the fans feel because they don't give a damn. Stephanie agrees. Vince says they broke Roman Reigns in half last night, then pierced his heart, yanked his title away and now he's just like each and every one of the fans. Vince says fans do the same as Reigns when they have adversary in their lives - tuck tail and run. They go on insulting the fans. Vince says they're miserable but no one is as miserable as Reigns. Vince says Reigns is going to stay that way. Stephanie says if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself and that's what they did last night. Stephanie says they pulled one of the biggest coups in WWE history. Stephanie says everyone thought Reigns, maybe Brock Lesnar or AJ Styles would win. She says they had fans eating out of their hands because they knew #30 would be The Game. Fans chant for Styles and it sounds like Vince asks who. Stephanie says his name. Vince says he doesn't care who it is, because at the end of the day they would end up on the bottom of his shoe too. Stephanie starts praising her husband.

Triple H ,makes his way to the ring and hits the corner to pose with the title. Vince says to bow down to the king as Triple H takes the mic. He gives props for Roman Reigns and his performance last night, and says he could be that good but today, he is not. He says Reigns lacks one thing - respect. He's arrogant, cocky and doesn't respect anything. He says Reigns is great but needs to learn his place in life. Triple H says he could put up with the rest of the stuff from Reigns but not the disrespect to Vince. Triple H says Vince might as well be God because he created this all. Triple H says this is his religion until death and nobody disrespects his religion. He says people ask why does he need to be champion now and they say his time has passed, he's transitioned successfully from the ring to the board room. He says they are right, he doesn't need to be WWE Champion... he wants to be WWE Champion, because so do people like Roman Reigns and they don't deserve it. Triple H will be champion until he says so, until someone in the back learns respect. He says he will be champion until he says so and there's nothing anyone can do about it, including Reigns. He says he will be champion... fans start chanting for Reigns. Triple H says people like Reigns will confirm or cease to exist. Stephanie asks who will Triple H teach a lesson to at WrestleMania 32. She says tonight's show and they will be evaluating each Superstar. By the end of the night, they will announce the Fastlane main event to determine Triple H's WrestleMania opponent.
