What will happen tonight as the turn is made and Wrestlemania is able to be seen in the horizon.
We are in Miami, Florida and your announcers are Michael Cole, Byron Saxton, and John Layfield.
Vince McMahon's music plays and he makes his way to the ring dancing with his daughter Stephanie McMahon.
Vince tells everyone to shut up. Stephanie says the people don't listen. Vince says it is the day after the Royal Rumble and he feels damn good. Vince says he does not care about anyone else. Vince says he is feeling good because Roman Reigns is broken. They broke Roman Reigns in two and then pierced his heart and yanked away his title. When you have adversity in your life, what do you do? Vince says most people do the same as Roman Reigns, you tuck your tail between your legs and whimper off. Once you are broken, you stay that way.
Vince says he is not out here to gloat or praise his son in law. Vince says he has a confession to make. Vince says this is tough for him. Vince says he enjoys the misfortune and misery of others. That is why he enjoys coming out here every week. He knows you are broken down and miserable. No one is more miserable than Roman Reigns.
He says Roman is going to stay that way.
Stephanie says if you have to get things done, you have to do it yourself. They pulled off one of the greatest coups in WWE history. You were sure that Roman was going to overcome the odds. For sure, Roman was going to win. If not Roman, Brock Lesnar. Maybe Dean Ambrose. Some of you thought AJ Styles. You live in a fantasy world. They had you eating out of the palm of their hands because they knew number 30 would be The Game.
The crowd chants for AJ Styles and Vince says he does not care because he would end up at the bottom of their shoes.
Stephanie says nobody holds a candle to her husband. He works harder than anybody else on that roster. He is a businessman. His intellect, acumen, and IQ are great. Not only is the Cerebral Assassin, he is the WWE Champion. He is the standard bearer and measuring stick. No one can hold a candle to her man. She brings out Triple H.
Hunter comes out in a suit but he has the WWE Title belt around his waist.
Hunter makes sure to do the GameFountain in the ring.
Vince wants everyone to bow down to the king.
Hunter says it is good to be the king. Hunter says he has to hand it to one person from last night. That person is Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns could be one of the most amazing athletes he has seen. He could be that good. Today he is not. Roman Reigns lacks one thing, respect. Roman does not respect anything. He is arrogant and cocky. Roman is great but Roman needs to learn his place in life. He could put up with the fact that he thought he was better and his disregard for authority. He could not deal with Roman's disrespect for Vince McMahon. Hunter says this man might as well be God because he created this. Hunter says until his dying breath, it is his religion and law. He will be damned if anyone will disrespect his religion.
Some might ask why after all you have done, do you need to be Champion. You have had a great career that is Hall of Fameworthy. You have transitioned to the board room. Hunter says he does not need to be WWE Champion, but he wants to be WWE Champion. People like Roman Reigns want to be WWE Champion, but they don't deserve. Until he says so, he will be the WWE Champion.
Until everyone back there and out here learns some respect, he will be WWE Champion because he says so and there isn't a thing anyone can do. That includes Roman Reigns.
Vince tells the people to shut up.
Hunter says that disrespect leads people like Roman Reigns down the path they are on. It is a path called destruction. People like Roman will conform or they will simply cease to exist.
Stephanie asks who will Hunter teach a lesson to about respect at Wrestlemania. Stephanie says they will be evaluating the talent tonight. They will announce the main event of Fastlane and the winner will face Triple H for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania.
