Tonight's episode starts with a recap of "John Cena Appreciation Night" on Raw, including the return of The Authority and the announcement that Seth Rollins will join the bout between Cena and Lesnar for the title. Then we head into the venue for tonight's show. Seth Rollins hits the ramp to get things started.

Flanked by J & J Security, Rollins laughs about Cena getting screwed over on Monday Night Raw and they re-rack the footage from the show's final moments. Rollins rattles off the names of the trio that were fired and the crowd pops for each guy. He hypes the fact that the title match at Royal Rumble is now a triple threat and the crowd boos. Rollins has the guys at ringside toll the bell for Ryback, Ziggler and Rowan and the sarcastic salute is cut short by the arrival of Roman Reigns.

Reigns steps into the ring with a mic and facetiously apologizes for interrupting. He says that Seth is full of both "something else" and "suffering succotash." Then he commences to totally whaling on Rollins. J & J can't muster a defense for their crony and Reigns belts Seth so hard he hits the floor.

From the ramp, Rollins rants and Kane emerges to book Reigns into a match for the main event. It'll be Seth Rollins and Big Show versus Roman Reigns and a partner of his choice. Kane says that anyone who partners up with Reigns will be subject to discipline by The Authority. Big Show yells a whole bunch to round out the segment.

Backstage, The New Day are heading to the ring. Commercial sign.

After the break, Corporate Kane assures some unnamed individual or individuals via phone that he has everything under control.

There will be a triple-threat match for the titles later tonight. Back to the ring?

Continuing with a budding feud, the other members of The New Day are at ringside and Cesaro and Tyson Kidd are in the corner of Adam Rose.

Miz takes his sunglasses off and nothing happens. Mizdow takes his off and the crowd roars. The Miz starts off against one of the Usos. It's one of those janky triple-threat tag matches where only two at a time are in action. Jey tries to get a cover on Miz after some back-and-forth. They trade covers and near falls until Jey drills Miz with a shot to the face.

Jimmy comes in and keeps up the pressure on Miz. Miz comes back a bit and taunts the crowd, suggesting that he's the real talent on his team. Stardust hits Miz with a blind tag and goes after Jimmy. Jey makes it back in but tags in Jimmy again after some quick work. Goldust hits Jey with a cheap shot and then tags in. Jey puts him on the canvas and when Stardust comes in, Jimmy gets involved and dumps him. Miz gets tossed out too, so Mizdow jumps out after him. One of the Usos does a suicide dive on everyone outside and then Stardust jumps in and follows suit.

When we get back to action, Uso heads out and Miz comes in against Stardust. Miz teases the crowd that he's going to tag in Mizdow but he gets rolled up briefly. He finally hits the tag and Mizdow goes to work on Stardust. He doesn't stay on top for long, though. Goldust comes in and works over the stunt double. He keeps it up until Mizdow breaks free but Stardust comes back in and keeps Damien under control. The Dust Brothers double-team for a short spell and Goldust delivers a huge spinebuster before bringing his bro back in. Stardust hits Miz with a surprise kick out of the corner. Mizdow dumps Goldust and tags in Jey who slugs it out with Stardust. Goldust tags himself in and tries to put away Uso but the Usos team up and hit a double super kick.

Good match.

Bad News Barrett vs. Sin Cara

Barrett works over Sin Cara in grand fashion right off the bell. He pounds him in the corner and then takes him apart on the mat.
