Sami Zayn makes his way to the ring as we go to commercial.

Sami says that is enough of you.  In the last couple of weeks, Sami says he has been doing what no one had the courage to do and that was tell you the truth about yourselves.  People don't want to hear about they are incessantly negative.  You have created a false narrative about him that Sami became a bitter person while out with an injury.  Sami says he is not bitter.  He says he is jubilant.  Sami says he is a happy person.  The ten months he was away was the happiest time of his life.  

Sami wants to show how happy life can be outside these prison walls.  Sami shows photos of him in Switzerland, Norway, Mexico, and Scotland.  Sami says he was living the good life and then he got feelings of depression and anxiety as he was getting ready to come back.  What was it about WWE that was making him sick?  Was it the corporate structure he does not appreciate?  Is it being around the egomanaics in the back who are delusional and feel entitled.  Sami says he figured out the problem and it is YOU.  It is the culture that you perpetuate and propel onto everyone but yourselves.  

You don't want to be responsible but Sami says he is making you responsible.  He is holding to account every single one of you.  You think you get away with it because you do it in your pack.  It won't keep you safe from him.  Sami says he would rather be back in Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Sweden, or Mexico.  He would rather be anywhere else than Des Moines.  Sami says if you have a problem with that, then you take a little page out of Sami Zayn's book and take a trip.  Doesn't that sound nice?  You can all go . . . to hell.
