We are back with a look back at the steel cage match from Raw.
Paul Heyman says he is going to talk about two things and he will keep is short and sweet. Today is Roman Reigns Day because today is the release of the WWE 2K25 video game. Everyone will go home and play the video game and everyone at home will play the video game, but wait until Smackdown is over because they want to keep the ratings high, especially during his segment.
Some people have a problem that it is Roman Reigns Day or that Roman is on the cover of the video game. One of those people, when it comes to being his friend, is the best in the world, CM Punk. Unfortunately it is not CM Punk Day, it is Roman Reigns Day. It is not and will never be Seth Rollins Day.
Paul says he hates that freaking song.
If anybody has a problem with the fact that he hates that song or that it is Roman Reigns Day or that Roman Reigns is on the cover of the video game, you can say it to his face next week in Bologna because he will be there next week. He tells the crowd not to boo and they can fly on Cheapo Airlines to Italy and Mussolini isn't keeping you from crossing the border. You can say whatever you want to his face.
Next week, Roman Reigns will be on Smackdown, Jade Cargill faces Liv Morgan, Zelina Vega faces Piper Niven, and Jacob Fatu faces Braun Strowman.
