Rollins says that it is time to collect, but Roman tells Rollins that he is "the back of the line" and has done nothing of late to face him for the World Heavyweight Championship. Rollins says Roman can play that game with everyone else, but not with him. Rollins says that he is always the front of the line when it comes to Roman, as he owns Roman in the ring, in his head and in his heart and is responsible for Roman accomplishing all that he has in that time. He then talks about the last few times he tried to put a stop to him in the last four years and mentions that Roman beat everyone in that time except for one person, as well as how he cashed in on Roman at WrestleMania 31. Rollins says he has owned Roman since the day he took a metal folding chair to his back and betrayed him, then says he is here to give Roman something nobody else can give him, as Roman is great as he is claimed to be and has done it all. Rollins then says that Roman has only one thing left to do in WWE - beat him - and that he will give him that opportunity, as this may be the last chance for Roman to do it. He talks about how he and Roman came into WWE together and created "the greatest generation in the history of this industry," and states they are now closer to the end than to the beginning as there is now a new genearation ready to beat them.Rollins says that this is the last time they may be able to do this dance, as Roman is a sure-fire Hall of Famer and he may not be there to induct him. He then says that if Roman does not take this challenge, he may not be able to escape "the ghost of Seth Rollins." Rollins asks Roman if he accepts, and Roman says it has been a long time since he heard any truth from Rollins' mouth and admits that Rollins is right. He says he does not want to beat Rollins, but he needs to beat him and have his family witness it. Roman then says he will do just that at SummerSlam, and accepts Rollins' challenge.
