It was a heated exchange between the pair, with Balor calling out The Visionary after they stared each other down on Raw last week.
On Monday, he reflected on their SummerSlam 2016 match which saw Balor become the first ever Universal Champion only to have to relinquish the gold due to an injury suffered in the match.
He insisted he wanted to take everything from Rollins and plans to do so at Money In The Bank, although his passionate performance kept getting interrupting by fans singing the latter’s theme music whenever Balor tried to speak.
Rollins claimed he became ‘better’ after their match whereas Balor became ‘bitter’, accepting the challenge.
There was more tension between members of The Judgment Day throughout the night too, with Damian Priest telling the group to let him go out alone for his Money In The Bank qualifier against Matt Riddle.
The Archer of Infamy got the job done too, beating the Original Bro in a fantastic match before he passed Imperium in the aisle and told them to pick the bones of Riddle, leading to a devastating attack.
