Rollins comes back with a small package rollup and a superkick for two, then he heads up top and Cena tries to superplex him. Rollins counters with a buckle bomb for two, then they trade a few punches before Cena calls for an Attitude Adjustment. Rollins floats over and kicks him, then he slams Cena down for two and goes for a corner splash. Cena sidesteps him and hits an AA, but Mercury and Noble pull Cena outside to break up the pin and the lumberjacks attack him on the floor. Cena gets whipped into the barricade before Rollins goes for a Curb Stomp, but Cena rolls away and puts Rollins in a STF. Rollins reaches for the ropes and Kane pulls him to the apron, then Big Show drags Cena out to the floor and drops him with a knockout punch. The lumberjacks roll Cena back in the ring, and Rollins crawls over to make the cover.
Winner – Seth Rollins
BP: Good to see Rollins get the ‘clean’ win here. He won somewhat fairly given the rules of the match; I was really skeptical about this before HHH announced the stipulation. Good starting point for the show.
Stephanie McMahon is shown talking to Dean Ambrose and The Usos backstage, and she tells Jimmy to tell Naomi she will compete with one arm tied behind her back. She dismisses the team and turns to Ambrose and says he is a threat to himself and everyone else, because he checked himself out of the hospital Friday and was hard to deal with. Stephanie says he will talk to a doctor tonight for a mental evaluation, and if he fails the test he won’t be in the Royal Rumble match. We see the pair walk away as Miz and Mizdow cut a a promo on the Golden Globes, then the doctor puts a clock on a table and tells Ambrose to sit back and relax.
