Bray says he knows Braun.  A good creator knows his creations.  I know what you are going to say and what you are going to do and what is best for you.

Bray says Braun needs to come home.  Bray says he can show Braun how to be special, just like him.  He needs to remove that burden that you are keeping around your waist so you can come home.  It is the only thing standing in your way.  He needs to get back that Universal Championship.
