All this and more tonight on Raw.

Stick with us for all the action.

Edge announces Seth Rollins will face Roman Reigns tonight. Also, Rusev will face Dolph Ziggler in a champion vs. champion match. Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman make their entrance, and Brock is looking trim and fit (maybe preparing for his MMA return). Lesnar enters the ring holding his title and he looks like he wants to take Edge and Christian apart. Heyman mentions he’d rather smash John Cena though, and Cena makes his entrance. Cena says his New Year’s resolution is to take Lesnar’s title. But his gift is for Paul Heyman and Cena goes after him. Lesnar intervenes and saves Heyman. Cena picks him up for an AA, but Lesnar escapes. These two will meet in a few weeks at Royal Rumble.

Daniel Bryan announces he will participate in the 2015 Royal Rumble. He will NOT be retiring.

Seth Rollins is a guest on Edge and Christian’s Peep Show segment. Rollins calls John Cena to come out. When he doesn’t come, Rollins knocks Christian down. Then he’s about to curb stomp Edge, while Big Show holds him down. Rollins says if Cena doesn’t give him what he wants, he’s going to paralyze Edge with the curb stomp. Rollins tells Cena to bring The Authority back or he will do it.

“I bring back the Authority,” says Cena. Rollins celebrates, then goes to curb stomp Edge but Cena intervenes and goes after Rollins but Big Show catches him with a KO punch, then Rollins curb stomps Cena. Big Show, Rollins and J&J Security celebrate. HHH and Stephanie McMahon come out and join them, drinking champagne.
