Below are the results from Monday night.

Seth Rollins started the show and talked about his knee injury. He said the injury made him feel helpless. He confirms that he has a torn medial collateral ligament and a torn meniscus. He says that he is addressing his problems day by day. Imperium interrupts him. Gunther says that they have been avoiding each other but now is the time to tell her what he really thinks. Gunther credits Seth Rollins as a wrestling champion, but his injury strikes a chord. He says that he’s sad because Seth might not make it to WrestleMania. Seth says that he doesn’t give a damn about the doctors, that he doesn’t give a damn about how hard he has to rehab, and that he’ll make it to WrestleMania as World Heavyweight Champion.

He also says he will do everything in his power to leave WrestleMania as champion. Gunther says that he respects that and then promises to win the Royal Rumble and then he will choose Seth Rollins to face him at WrestleMania. He says that he will target Seth’s knee and back and then do everything he can to become the new World Champion. They shake hands and this scene continues in the next fight:
