Roman says last week in Atlanta was the comeback. This week in Philly, we take our yard back. Roman says he got to think about his future and what he wants. He wants the one man standing in his way. That man is Seth Rollins. Roman says to get what he wants, he wants to address things with Seth so he asks for Seth to come out.

Seth says he is going to take that motivation and take it to Wrestlemania and slay the beast. He is going to bring the Universal Title back where it belongs . . . on Raw every single week. Seth says he knows where Roman's head is at. He understands what it is like to vacate a title without losing it. If there is anyone who deserves an opportunity against Brock as much as he does, it is Roman. Seth says he wants to talk about this.

One person kept this place in line and knew what was best. Roman says he has confidence in Seth and he knows what it takes to win that title and he knows that Seth can do it. Roman wishes Seth good luck at Wrestlemania.
Roman has a but and he asks for a favor from Seth. Seth says he will do anything for Roman. Roman says he wants to get the band back together one last time. Seth says anything but that. After what Ambrose did on the night he did it, no way. Roman says he thought he was going to get him right away, but he has to sell Seth on it. Roman says he wants it and he asks the crowd if they want it. Roman says tomorrow is not guaranteed and life is short. The most important things are the relationships they have. They are brothers. Roman says he does not know if Dean is coming or going but he wants one more time with his brothers.
