Don't think I am coming out here and demanding anything.  Don't think that I am posing a threat.  I am out here to challenge you for that at the Royal Rumble.

Drew says he thinks Goldberg is trying to get in his head.  Think about yourself 20 years ago.  You couldn't beat me.  It would be like fighting my own dad.

Goldberg pushes Drew down as we go to credits.
