This Thursday on SmackDown: Miz TV with guests Dolph Ziggler and Lana!
Seth Rollins shows up. He says that he had no problem with Sting at all up until last week, and that he revered him as a legend in the ring...until Sting hijacked his statue and ruined the unveiling ceremony. Rollins proceeds to call himself a real man, and calls Sting out, demanding two things: to take back what he said about him at the top of the show, and to return his bronze statue. When he asks Sting to come out and tell him where he put his statue, Stephanie McMahon shows up instead. She knows that she asked him to call out Sting, but tells him to stop talking about Triple H and that Sting has gotten into his head. Rollins calls out Sting again, but this time he gets John Cena. He tells Rollins to remember this moment, as he is about to find out how expendable he is, and that Stephanie McMahon is the one who will make him miserable. After calling Rollins out on basically everything he's ever done since he turned his back on Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns, he tells Rollins that he's buying into their bullcrap, and if they really were their friends, he wouldn't be allowed to do what he's about to do: cash in his rematch clause for the WWE United States Championship at Night of Champions, forcing Rollins to defend two different titles in two different matches on the same night at that event. When Cena asks Stephanie is the match is on, she says yes. After Cena walks to the top of the ramp, Sting walks out and stands side by side with Cena.
