Kayla Braxton is in the ring and she welcomes everyone to Smackdown. She says that rumors continue to heat up that Brock Lesnar's suspension . . .
Roman Reigns' music plays and the Universal Champion Roman Reigns along with Future Mr. Kayla Braxton Paul Heyman make their way to the ring.
Kayla stands between Paul and Roman and is asked to hand Paul the mic.
Paul asks about rumors about Brock Lesnar? He asks if that is the best she's got? We don't do rumors on the Island of Relevancy. That's your problem. You parade around here like you are a journalist and have breaking news about Brock Lesnar when it is so personal to Roman and Paul. You want the spotlight to talk about some rumors.
Paul tells the crowd not to boo Kayla. You are not worthy to make judgment about anyone. Paul points out that he is defending Kayla. He tells Kayla to get some sources and present facts. He says he used to like her because people thought she was pretty. Now you live through an Instagram filter and that is not how a legitimate journalist operates. He hanks Kayla for her time.
Roman asks Paul if he would like to know the problem with rumors. He says they give losers false hope. Compared to me, everyone is a loser around here. Roman says he has beaten them all. Brock is the number one loser around here. I beat him and it wasn't even ideal conditions. I flew around the world and I smashed his ass. I'll repeat it. Brock is a loser. I don't care about rumors, those are facts. Big E is also a loser because I smashed him at Survivor Series. These fools are part of a long list. I have beaten them all. I am running laps around this roster. Management is desperate. He mentions the Black Friday Battle Royal to determine the number one contender?
Battle Royal, Elimination Match, Gauntlet Match, Three Way match, Four Way Match? Why not let three win because I can smash them all. I am the best there is. When my days are done around here, the whole world will acknowledge me.
