Another one drops Cena once more so J&J are available in, most effective to get a German of their very own.

Rollins kicks Cena within the head however will get pulled within to stand Brock all on my own. It’s time for extra German suplexes and the enthusiasts loudly applaud. There’s a normal suplex to Rollins and we get an ECW chant. Brock grabs a Kimura on Cena however John lifts him up, permitting Seth to springboard in with a knee to the champ. Cena and Rollins get good and double crew Lesnar, most effective to have Seth throw John to the ground for one off an AA.

Brock pops up like a daisy and sends either one of them out of doors, most effective to have Rollins knock him into the stairs. As J&J are in a heap subsequent to the barricade, Cena begins his standard completing series on Rollins however Lesnar breaks up the Shuffle with some other German suplex. Seth breaks up the rolling Germans regardless that as he wishes Cena to lend a hand combat towards Brock. Makes sense. A knee to the again places Brock at the ground however the champ is true again in for the save as Seth covers Cena.

Trust me on that one!”). AJ talks about Undertaker being on Twitter and displays us his PSA with Michelle McCool about saving tigers, with the 2 of them in a pool in the back of a tiger.

Styles sought after to take Undertaker’s soul but it surely looks as if Michelle already did that. When they get to Wrestlemania, AJ needs the outdated Undertaker however he’s nowhere to be discovered. Old humble Styles goes to provide the WWE what they would like regardless that as a result of he’s bringing again the Dead Man. Let’s make it a Bone Yard fit. After the fit is over, AJ can bury Undertaker then and there, and it occurs to be the similar plot that Michelle already buried Undertaker in.
