Yes. The Unthinkable has happened. #ScumbagSheamus is the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. *Sigh* Let’s just get to RAW. Maybe New Day can cheer us up.
The Authority kicks off RAW talking Roman Reigns. They mock Roman Reigns for turning down the opportunity to be part of The Authority, and blame Reigns’ pride for why he is no longer the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Stephanie McMahon says opportunity knocked twice for Roman Reigns and stands up for Triple H, claiming he was trying to be a good boss when he tried to shake Reigns’ hand.
Triple H introduces a man who knows how to seize opportunity, the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, #ScumbagSheamus.
#ScumbagSheamus comes out and thanks The Authority for the introduction and the “love” from the WWE Universe. Despite the “You Look Stupid” chants, #ScumbagSheamus says there’s nothing the WWE Universe can say to ruin his moment. #Sheamus also mocks Roman Reigns for reaching the top of the mountain, then getting Brogue Kicked off. #Sheamus continues to talk about Roman Reigns’ reaction after losing, calling him pathetic. #ScumbagSheamus talks about his plan to win the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, then asks the WWE Universe, “Who Looks Stupid Now?”
Roman Reigns interrupts #ScumbagSheamus and The Authority. Reigns congratulates #ScumbagSheamus, then demands his WWE World Heavyweight Title rematch tonight. After a “YES” chant, Stephanie McMahon interrupts and lets Roman Reigns know that he won’t be getting a rematch due to spearing Triple H at Survivor Series. Stephanie demands Reigns backs up and get the hell out of his ring.
Roman Reigns asks Triple H if he’s standing behind Stephanie because she’s afraid of him. Stephanie backs away and Triple H and Roman Reign go face to face.
Once Reigns gets closer, Triple H lets Reigns know that he will get a rematch when he says he gets one. Suddenly, Reigns is attacked by the returning Rusev.
After a Brogue Kick by #ScumbagSheamus, Triple H lets Roman Reigns know that he’ll get his rematch at WWE TLC in a few weeks, but Reigns will have to face Rusev tonight. #ScumbagSheamus will be in Rusev’s corner.
