Rollins sat down in the middle of the ring and ripped apart his competitors. He mocked Punk's AEW career before turning his attention to Roman Reigns. He spoke about how The Tribal Chief only cared about himself. Seth declared that he was the only one who sacrificed for the fans, and he would prove himself by defeating Punk and Roman at The Show of Shows.

This week on BroDown with host Mac Davis, Russo detailed that Seth Rollins was trying to taunt Punk with his promo by sitting in the middle of the ring. However, the veteran writer noted that Punk's Pipebomb promo happened over a decade ago, and casual fans wouldn't know that. He felt WWE should have added some context for the new viewers who were not hardcore fans of the product.

"You just made a great point, Mac. He sat down in the middle of the ring like CM Punk. This is what the WWE does over and over again. A normal person watching this at home is not going to get that, they're not going to understand that. Only the hardcore fans are gonna know what Seth Rollins is trying to do." [From 3:43 onwards]
