Dolph Ziggler comes to the ring but The Authority meets him, and Triple H asks him what side Dolph will choose for Survivor Series. He plays all the scenarios out and says Cena could get the glory while Dolph wins for that team, and it always seems like Cena is the glass ceiling that Dolph can’t break through. HHH says Cena isn’t even here right now and it looks like he doesn’t care about his team, so maybe Dolph does gamble and it works out. He says Dolph could win titles and get money and girls, but they are all maybes if he stays with Cena.
HHH tells Dolph to stick with what he knows, and Dolph has the talent and ablility, so he could make the ‘maybes’ turn into certainty. Dolph says if he can get whatever he wants… he wants The Authority gone, and he wants them all gone for good! HHH says he hopes for Dolph’s sake he doesn’t end up empty handed because it could happen, and it might even happen right now. He tells Dolph that he is defending his Intercontinental Championship against the future, Seth Rollins, right now.
Intercontinental Championship
Seth Rollins vs Dolph Ziggler (c)
Rollins hits Dolph several times and chokes him on the ropes, then he stomps him and knocks him outside, sending him into the apron. Rollins slams Dolph facefirst on the apron as we go to a break, then we get back to see both men collide before Dolph connects with a clothesline. Dolph splashes Rollins and hits a neckbreaker, then he goes for a Famouser but Rollins blocks and goes for a rollup. Dolph slingshots him into the turnbuckles and connects with some mounted punches, but Rollins comes back with a buckle bomb for two. Rollins goes for a Curb Stomp but Dolph sidesteps and hits a Famouser for two, then he goes for a DDT but Rollins counters with an enziguiri for two. Rollins and Mercury get the ref’s attention and Noble snaps Dolph’s head on the ropes, then Rollins hits a Curb Stomp but Randy Orton runs in and drops him with a RKO. Orton dares anyone to come after him, then he leaves as Kane yells at him and Rollins asks what’s going on.
Result – No Contest
