We go to commercial.
We are back and Paul Heyman makes his way to the ring with Brock Lesnar who bounces on the stage and leaps into the ring.
We see some other wrestlers on the ramp to make sure that Roman does not come to the ring through the stage.
Just because you had your manhood handed to you and showed that you were a horrible mentor to Ronda Rousey, you have proven that you have no control about what happens based on what he says. Control is held by the one who has the title and that control is by Brock Lesnar.
Paul says he will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It is the truth that before the last Wrestlemania that happened in New Orleans, he said his client would conquer the Undertaker's undefeated streak. You booed it then and you boo it now. He says he told you it wasn't a prediction, it was a spoiler. At Wrestlemania in New Orleans, he conquered the Undertaker's streak. Then they laughed at each and every one of you.
It is a fact in six days that Wrestlemania will happen in New Orleans. The only two beings who hold Wrestlemania victories over the Undertaker will meet in the main event and it is thought that it is fait accompli that Roman will defeat Brock Lesnar. Paul says you have to be impressed with Roman Reigns and you have to respect his bloodline and badassery. The truth is that this Sunday, April 8, 2018, in New Orleans, Brock Lesnar will F5 Roman Reigns and pin him in the center of the ring.
That is not a prediction, that is a spoiler.
If something should happen to Brock and Roman becomes the Universal Champion, this is the last time that you will see Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman on Raw.
Paul says he will save his goodbyes for his social media and Brock will say his hellos in the UFC. Paul says that the image that he has built himself around Brock since 2002 and he has the attitude that none of you can shine his boots. The image that Brock looks at all of you with disdain. The image that Brock fights who he wants when he wants and under the conditions that he does. That image is true. There is not one person in the back who can hold his jock or take his title. None of you can afford to pay enough to see what this once in a lifetime talent can do.
Roman's only choice is to accept defeat. It is easy to choose when you have no options. Your options are like your ass because they are owned by Brock Lesnar.
Roman will have to go back to his family and say that he got beaten, defeated, and conquered by Brock Lesnar. The truth is that Roman Reigns ain't the Big Dog against Brock Lesnar and this ain't your yard. You will be another notch on Brock Lesnar's title belt.
The truth is you are just Brock Lesnar's bitch.
Brock starts to leave the ring but Roman Reigns' music plays and he makes his way to the stage but he is stopped by the phalanx of wrestlers on the stage.
Roman says you full time talent are going to protect that part time bastard? Think about it.
They discuss it and then they decide to let Roman have a path to the ring.
