The Authority has a great main event planned, as Cesaro battles Dean Ambrose in a Trick or Street Fight. Rollins thinks that is a great idea, and ponders what happens if Wyatt gets to Ambrose before that match. He then says Ambrose will fall to Wyatt just as he fell to him at Hell in a Cell. He’s just being honest, and asks what he did to receive the boos from the crowd. Rollins says the fans should thank him, because they are in the presence of greatness. On top of that, they will be let in on their plan for Survivor Series. Who will Cena recruit for Survivor Series? Who would be stupid enough to battle the Authority? Kane says he has a good point.
