Rollins came out and said if Lesnar wanted a shot at his title, they should just do it now. The crowd was hyped but Heyman talked Brock out of it, saying that he might prefer to challenge Kofi Kingston instead.
Kofi Kingston came out next and said he was ready to face Brock Lesnar anytime and beating him would prove that Kofi is one of the best WWE Champions.
