He says there are two time lines . . . before and after the chair shot. He says he thinks about it all the time.
Jackie asks how does he justify 'hurting' people with his bad decisions and what Roman has done.
Seth says he has not made apologies. Roman was born into the right family and given the right opportunities. It didn't matter if Roman failed or wasn't great. He could say sufferin succotash. Seth wanted to know why he couldn't get those chances. He had to g around the system. Seth says he is finally okay with that.

He says Punk is terrified of him, mentally and emotionally because he sees him as the fraud he is. Don't compare him to you because Sami says he is nothing like Punk. He means it when he says something. He says he walks the walk. He says he stands for something. Punk stands for nothing.

Roman says it is bulls****. He says it is Monday Morning Quarterbacking. He took those as lessons and he should have listened to his brother who told him you need to have some asshole in you.
Cole brings up comments about the priviledge that Roman has been given.
Roman says that is what people who didn't have those opportunities. Iti s what you do in the room. Who shines the brightest between them. Roman says Seth looks more confident on the NFL Network than anywhere else. He is a liar. Roman says he loves being a legacy. Roman says he figured it out better than anyone else.

Jackie is with Miz and he is still not a fan of Danhausen.
We look at the media appearances for SummerSlam.
Jackie is with Nick Aldis.
He says he felt the love from the people of Minneapolis. He says he hopes that he can be an example of playing the hand you were dealt. The flame never extinguishes and when the opportunity arose, if you can visualize it enough, the moment in your mind can manifest in reality.

Jackie asks if this match will alter the future of WWE.
Seth says we won't know for 12 years like we have with the chair shot. If this is the end, it feels like a new beginning because something different is on the other side.
Jackie asks Seth what are his stakes to win?
Seth says he would get the title back that he never lost and to be able toat Roman again, it is a message to those who didn't start on third base. It doesn't matter who you are related to. You grind and do the work to succeed.
We look at Chad Gable.
Peter talks about Penta.
We look at what Oba said on the Post Show.
We go back to Roman's interview with Cole.
Roman says he stood across from the ring from him many times. He does not know how he will feel tonight, but he usually sees his wrestling soulmate, but also someone who crossed him. Roman says he wouldn't change anything. Tonight, closes the chapter. If Seth can't beat him, nobody has a chance. He sat under the learning tree of Paul for four years. There is no bigger shark then him.
Cole asks about this being the final chapter, but what if he cannot win?
Roman says he will tear this place apart. He took one thing from him when he wasn't ready, he won't do it again
