Roman Reigns' music plays and he makes his way to the ring.

Roman gets a mic and he tells Montreal to acknowledge him.

He says he is not here every week any more.  Every once in a while, people are going to come out here and say some stupid stuff.  If anyone ever comes out and says they are the face of the company and it is not him, they are lying.  If they say they are the main event and it isn't him, they are lying.  If it is anyone who comes out and says they have carried the company on their back . . .
