Stephanie McMahon mentions the warm welcome, and that she was born in the city of Hartford. Stephanie says that’s a privilege, but wants to talk about Money In The Bank. Stephanie mentions Daniel Bryan’s injury then mocks the fact that he will be out for much longer.

It's a little condescending for The Authority to hate Daniel Bryan as a B+ Player, but refer to Seth Rollins as Plan B. #RAW

— Rob (@DefNotRob) July 1, 2014

Stephanie McMahon switches her attention to Seth Rollins’ MITB Victory, claiming that it was a guarantee that he will become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Triple H calls Rollins the future of the WWE, then talks about the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match. Triple H calls the winner of the match, an A+ Player, then brings out the 15 Time WWE Champion, John Cena.

John Cena coming out, wearing the belts like it's a spinner chain. For someone who's held the title 15 times, you'd think he'd show respect.

— Kyle Lewis (@KeepItFiveStar) July 1, 2014

John Cena cuts Stephanie McMahon off, then mentions Daniel Bryan. Cena tells Bryan that he knows he’s recovering, but when he comes back, he will give him the opportunity at the WWE World Heavyweight Titles that he never lost. Cena leads the WWE Universe in a “YES” chant.

Stephanie McMahon asks the WWE Universe if they’re gamers. Stephanie tells John Cena that he will be the cover boy of WWE 2K15.

John Cena on the cover of #WWE2K15. Welp. Time to buy Assassin's Creed 8 instead.

Stephanie McMahon dancing to John Cena's theme music is the best thing to come from this.

I hope one of the mini-games in WWE 2K15 is Stephanie McMahon Soccer Mom Dance Dance Revolution. #RAW

After the cover is revealed, Stephanie McMahon congratulates Cena for being on the cover. John Cena is thankful for being on the cover, but thinks something is up. Cena reminds Stephanie McMahon and Triple H of their faces after Money In The Bank.

Stephanie McMahon tries to explain that the photos are out of context, John Cena reminds The Authority that they have Seth Rollins, Randy Orton and Kane in their back pocket, but they can’t control him and whether they like it or not, The champ is out.

https://twitter.com/loveablelinds/status/483764685444227072

Triple H mocks John Cena’s accent, telling him to “chill” and mocks him for “thuggin’.” imitating a poor hip-hop accent.

After John Cena threatens Triple H in a Boston Accent, Triple H tells Cena that he doesn’t have a problem with him or his success, as long as Cena is respectful. Triple H tells Cena that his success can go away quickly, so Cena can either do things around here the easy way or the hard way. Cena tells Triple H that he’s not a stooge, and has always done it the hard way, so he will continue to do it the hard way.

#RAW #Hardway

— so anyway… (@5050Booking) July 1, 2014

Triple H mad because Stephanie like rap music. Don't take it out on John.

— ya haffa move (@YourBoyDrew) July 1, 2014

Triple H tells John Cena that he wouldn’t have it any other way, then gives John Cena the hard way: A Fatal Four-Way Match at Battleground: It will be John Cena vs. Randy Orton, The Demon Kane and Roman Reigns. In addition to that, it will be Cena and Reigns vs. Orton and Kane tonight.

https://twitter.com/InstantRandy/status/483765266736631809

Steph, he'll win that too. #RAW

Why would The Authority reward Roman Reigns with a title shot?

— Kyle Lewis (@KeepItFiveStar) July 1, 2014

John Cena accepts the match at Battleground, saying if he wins at Battleground, then he’s earned this. If not, it’ll be embarrassing, almost like swimming in pool of crap. Cena makes more jokes at Stephanie McMahon’s expense, then leaves. Triple H reminds John Cena that if he survives the Fatal Four Way at Battleground, that there is always a Plan B. Seth Rollins’ theme plays and Rollins comes out with the MITB Briefcase.

Love this. #RAW pic.twitter.com/SJJMbV8OyD

Post-Match, Seth Rollins cuts Renee Young off then says to address him as Mr. Money In The Bank. Rollins says he’s not arrogant because he can back it up. Rollins calls the WWE Universe out for being bitter, then says he’s right and they were wrong. Rollins reminds the WWE Universe that he gets a shot at the WWE Title whenever he wants. Rollins gets interrupted by Dean Ambrose.

Dean Ambrose tells Seth Rollins that the only reason Seth Rollins won Money In The Bank was because after his Plan A failed miserable, his “Daddy” Triple H sent out his Plan B, “Uncle” Kane to make sure Seth Rollins won the match.

Daddy Triple H? Uncle Kane? What kind of family tree is this?!?

— ThreeManBooth (@3ManBooth) July 1, 2014

Nice to see Ambrose inherited the boiler room from The Shield's divorce. #RAW

— Stacey (@LittleSherbie) July 1, 2014

Dean Ambrose tells Seth Rollins that Rollins as Mr. Money In The Bank actually makes things more fun, because Ambrose vows to make sure Rollins never cashes it in. Ambrose calls Rollins’ briefcase TNT, because every time Seth Rollins tries to cash in, it’s going to blow up in his face.

https://twitter.com/Miss_Dani_Baby/status/483770788596555776

Dean Ambrose, you're amazing. #RAW

— Sean (@Seanfranchise6) July 1, 2014

I hope WWE makes montage of Dean Ambrose screwing up Seth Rollins' plans set to the tune of "I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me."

Lana and Rusev speak:

RUSEV MASHKA.

— Barry (@TheBarrylad) July 1, 2014

#RAW Rusev's coming out, if he's facing Big E again in a rematch rematch rematch, I wouldn't mind.

— Jeven W. 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦👑 (@5CornersxSmootx) July 1, 2014

If Rusev is "now residing in Moscow," it must be a hell of a commute to all these matches. #WWE #Raw

— Donnybrook Boys (@donnybrookboys) July 1, 2014

Lana calls Rusev ‘s last opponent a failure, then says it’s okay because America is accustomed to failure. Lana says failure is woven in America’s culture. After a loud USA chant, Lana mocks it then tells the WWE Universe to shut up.

#RAW Lana's "SHUT UP!" has replaced Sandow's "SILENCE!"

— so anyway… (@5050Booking) July 1, 2014

VINMANIE!

— Kyle Lewis (@KeepItFiveStar) July 1, 2014

Lana mocks Americans for encouraging participating over winning, then talks about the one and only Vladimir Putin.

Lana says no one can stop the onslaught of Russia or Rusev. Lana questions who will be the next person to face Rusev. Rusev speaks in Russian, then says he will crush.

https://twitter.com/InstantRandy/status/483772748842283009

I wish Guile from Street Fighter was a real person. Then he could come out, Flash Kick Rusev, then tell him to "Go Home and Be A Family Man"

Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter come out.

— so anyway… (@5050Booking) July 1, 2014

Zeb Colter says he is sick of Rusev and Lana coming out and slamming their country week after week, then tells them to shut up. Colter tells Lana that she’s allowed say what she wants because of Freedom Of Speech, but that also means Colter is allowed to say what he wants. Colter, calling Rusev and Lana, Boris and Natasha, that the only reason she comes out here and trashes the USA is because she doesn’t have the freedom to do it in her country.

Zeb Colter tells Rusev and Lana to stand there and listen to the sound of a Real American crashing over their heads. Zeb Colter leads the WWE Universe in a “We The People” chant. Lana calms Rusev down from attacking Jack Swagger as a loud “Let’s Go Swagger” chant breaks out.
