Seth says Drew wants to call him a spotlight junkie, but you want it as much as he does. You have been begging for a spotlight for the last 4 years. You won the title at Wrestlemania in 2020 in an empty warehouse. You have complained that you want better. When everyone came back around and the lights got bright again, what did you do? You fumbled the ball. Seth says when the lights are brightest, he shines. At Wrestlemania, the lights will be as bright as they have ever been and you will find out you aren't as good as you think you are.
