Re-cap of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match from Night Of Champions

We kick things off with the returning Dean Ambrose making his way out to the ring. Ambrose takes the mic and says he's far from dead and that the WWE's ugly stepchild is back and since last time he's been a little messed up in the head reliving what happened to him at the hands of The Authority and calls it creativity what they did to him. He says he's kind of flattered The Authority would go to great lengths to get rid of him and he's not dead and he holds grudges and is tired of The Authority and is not leaving the ring until he gets to punch Seth Rollins in the face. Ambrose exits the ring and grabs a steel chair and tosses it in the ring and sits down. John Cena then makes his way out to the ring. Ambrose tells Cena  he's really bothered and doesn't like the fact that Cena's standing in the ring with him and tells Cena not to give him a reason not to like him. Cena then says he and Ambrose have a similar agenda. Seth Rollins did his best to try and take Ambrose out and last night Cena had Lesnar beat until Rollins showed up and he should be holding the WWE Championship right now but he's not. So, tonight he's cashing in his ass kicking in the bank on Seth Rollins. Ambrose warns Cena once and tells Cena not to get in his way. The Authority then make their way out. Triple H tells Cena and Ambrose to relax and says they both want to fight Seth Rollins but that's not going to happen tonight. Rollins isn't fighting tonight but Cena and Ambrose will.
