Samoa Joe makes his way to the ring and he has something to say.
Joe says he is going to make this simple. The man standing here does not fear Brock Lesnar. He is incapable of fearing him because he is far too envious of Brock Lesnar. Joe says he wants everything Brock has and he wants to take it from him. Joe says he wants Brock's schedule where he is not forced to come out week after week to the ungrateful masses. He can come and leave as he pleases. He wants Brock's ability to instill fear into men at his behest. Joe says he wants Paul Heyman to be his advocate, negotiate his contracts, and run his errands.
Joe says most importantly and more than anything in the world, Joe says he wants Brock Lesnar's Universal Championship. Live on pay per view at Great Balls of Fire, he will be standing in this ring, staring him in the eye, and he will take that Universal Championship from Brock Lesnar.
Paul Heyman interrupts and he introduces himself. Paul apologizes for the interruption and he says here he is. The number one contender for the Universal Title and rightfully so. The destroyer and badass who got through four others to earn a title shot against Brock Lesnar. The man who left wreckage in every single place he has been. The number one contender Samoa Joe.
Paul says he understands that Joe does not fear Brock Lesnar. Paul says that Brock does not fear Samoa Joe either. Paul says that what bothers him about Joe is that Joe likes that Brock does not fear him. Paul says he worries for a living. He sees his client's opponents and gets worried, as a Jew. Brock assuages all of his concerns. Paul says it does not matter the legend or the physical ability or athleticism of the opponent. You put them in the ring and Brock assuages all of his concerns.
Paul says that two weeks ago he said he wanted to see Brock Lesnar versus Finn Balor. It is the best case scenario. It is a Rocky story. It is a license to print money. Paul says that Joe is the worst case scenario. Joe does not give a damn and he wants to fight Brock and go to war with him. Even if Brock can assuage all of his concerns, Brock will not be leaving the ring the same way he entered. Paul says that Joe will take a piece of Brock Lesnar with him.
Paul says it is his job to make sure that Brock Lesnar is your worst case scenario. If you want Brock Lesnar, you got Brock Lesnar.
Paul holds out his hand and Joe shakes it. Paul starts to leave the ring and Joe keeps him from exiting.
Joe says that was very disappointing to him and he wants to tell Paul face to face and man to man. Joe tells Paul that he is going to wrap his arm around Paul's throat and your vision is going to get hazy. Then, he wants Paul to take this message to Brock Lesnar that this is for him. Joe says he wants Paul to explain to Brock in excruciating detail, as only Paul can, what is in store for Brock.
Joe puts Paul in the Kokina Clutch.
Joe goes to the back while officials check on Heyman in the ring.

Joe tells Seth 'mistakes we make'
