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.
