Punk wants everyone to simmer down. Everyone misunderstands why he is out here. Punk says that he wanted to extend his heartfelt condolences. He wants to extend his apologizes for Taker’s loss. . . at Wrestlemania.
The silver lining in all of this tragedy is that to Paul Bearer, Taker will be perfect. He will be 20-0. To everyone else, in four weeks, he will be 20 and 1.

Oh . . . you are not aware of this. Your posterior better contact someone at once.
Ladies and gentlemen, young people of all genders and ages, taste and decency proudly presents to you the reunited and best friends. The essence of mustachioed magnificence, the intellectual savior of the masses and future tag team champions of the world . . . The Rhodes Scholars.
If you’re not ‘Down’ with that . . . we have two words for you. You’re Welcome.

Paul Heyman wants to get it straight that Triple H wants Brock to know that the Game is on. Brock Lesnar does not play games. Brock Lesnar hurts people. Take for example the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels. Brock broke his arm. Take Vincent Kennedy McMahon. Brock broke him in half to the point where Stephanie McMahon had to watch her father get placed into an ambulance with tears running down her face.
What must that do to a man? Now the New Age Outlaws. The last traces of Degeneration X, laid out into oblivion with F-5s. Will Brock Lesnar fight Triple H at Wrestlemania . . .
The answer is YES. But . . . and there is a but attached to this. Brock will fight at Wrestlemania only if they get to name the stipulations. Brock won’t tell Hunter the stipulations until after Triple H signs the contract.
Now Triple H has to blindly accept Brock’s challenge or the Cerebral Assassin disappoints the WWE Universe, his wife, his children, and his father in law. Most of all, he will disappoint himself.
Paul kneels over Road Dogg and he says if he ain’t down with that, he has two words for him . . . BROCK LESNAR.
