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.

Seth Rollins’ theme plays and Rollins comes out with the MITB Briefcase.
