Who will replace Barrett as the champion? Among the strong contenders are Kofi Kingston, RVD, Dolph Ziggler, Cesaro, Sheamus and Bo Dallas.

Rollins gave a backstage interview but Ambrose busted in to attack him, tossing Rollins into some equipment crates and throwing a light down at him. A bunch of WWE officials and personnel came rushing in to try to hold Ambrose back. Eventually, HHH showed up and told them to get Ambrose out of the building and that he doesn’t want to see him back. HHH went over and attended to Rollins. The commentary team argued over whether or not HHH should have done that or if the match should have happened still.
