In a Raw Exclusive, Nakamura was asked to explain why he turned Rollins' challenge down.

"Don’t tell me what to do. I decide when. I decide how. [I will] break him down more, and then take his title," Nakamura said.

After he rejected Rollins' challenge on WWE Raw, Nakamura and Rollins brawled. Nakamura then faced Ricochet and him with a chair. When Rollins tried to make the save, Nakamura gained the upper hand and attacked him until Ricochet sent him running by swinging a chair at him.
