But what Seth did was far worst than what the Shield did to anyone else. Seth is nothing but a traitor. He did the worst thing he could ever do. He sold out.

Seth whispers in Triple H's ear. Triple H says that Dolph has a fair point. It's something that Dolph has never done. He sold out arenas night after night. Whether or not Ziggler knows it, he's like Nostradamus. He is going to get a beating, because he's going to face Seth Rollins next.
