We are back and Paul Heyman is on the stage. In case you did not know who he is, he tells us and that he is the advocate for the Beast Incarnate BROCK LESNAR. He came here tonight to illustrate the point that the last few victories by the Undertaker have been against opponents he has barely survived. These same opponents were dominated by BROCK LESNAR. They were manhandled and victimized.

Paul says that this footage does not have embellishment or exaggeration. It will provide indisputable evidence that his testimony tonight will be uncontroverted.

Paul says that he knows it is an uncomfortable truth, but the streak will be ended by Brock Lesnar. At Wrestlemania, the Undertaker and the Undertaker’s streak will . . . Rest in Peace.

One of those things is the Occupy Raw stunt from last week. It was dangerous and inappropriate. On behalf of the Authority, he has conducted a thorough investigation. Daniel Bryan could not have pulled off this stunt alone. One man made this possible. This man was a resident of Memphis and allowed people to get in the ring.

Hunter wants to explain to Daniel that everything he has done to Daniel has been best for business. None of this has been personal. Daniel might tell him to go to hell, but he does not care. This has not been personal. This has been about what is best for the WWE. He will not debate right and wrong with Daniel.

He cannot expect anyone else to understand the burdens about what it means to do things that are best for business. Last week Daniel crossed a line he won’t be able to come back from. He will let it be water under the bridge. It does not matter how we got here, but it feels like it was supposed to happen this way.

In three weeks on the biggest stage, they will be in this ring together and they will fight. Hunter says that he will not apologize for what he is going to do to Daniel in the ring and he does not expect Daniel to apologize to him. They will do what they do best in the ring. He will put an end to this at Wrestlemania. He has no choice but to end this Yes Movement.

He has no choice but to put an end to this uprising. He has no choice but to shut this down. If it means he has to put an end to Daniel, there will be no apologizes. That is what will be best for business. Hunter says that he will do what is best for business every time. He wants to tell Daniel that there are no hard feelings in this and may the best man win.

Hunter offers his hand to Daniel and he refuses to shake it.

Hunter says that he would do the same thing if he was Daniel. Hunter says that there is one other thing. Hunter says that he has dumped a ton on Daniel since SummerSlam. He has thrown roadblocks in front of him. He has dumped a whole world on top of Daniel, but he is still here. Hunter says the people chant his name because they respect him. He has walked through a mountain of crap when anyone else would have folded up and taken his ball and gone home.

Hunter tells Bryan he has a big set and he tells Daniel that he has earned his respect. Hunter leaves the ring.
