Joe gets on the mic and says well, if this isn't the Land of Opportunity. To him, this place seems more like a Land of Handouts. By his mere absence, everyone here has had it easy.

He will have the opportunity to put to sleep your beloved Daniel Bryan. He will defang the Viper. He will emasculate and decimate AJ Styles.

Joe tells everyone to b'lieve that.
