Universal Champion Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring and he is joined by his cousins Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso, as well as his special counsel Paul Heyman.
Paul introduces himself and he says that he is special counsel to Roman Reigns. Paul says they came here tonight to acknowledge what really happened. Paul says there was no plot, scenario, or conspiracy. This was not done to make Brock Lesnar look foolish even though he looks like a fool now. The trajectory of this industry unfolded before your eyes. On December 17th in Chicago, I acknowledged that I made my biggest mistake. What I acknowledged made me look foolish. I told the most dominant champion that he needed to be protected from Brock Lesnar. I got fired and Superman punched and I deserved it.
Paul says that he knew his career was over, but then I saw the moment and seized the opportunity. When COVID infected the wrong person, I got Brock Lesnar into the Fatal Five Way and he pulled off what only Brock or Roman could do. He won the title.
Then Brock made the challenge for title versus title. Brock looks like a schmuck and is a schmuck while he is on Raw.
Paul says he had no way out. He blew it with the Tribal Chief and he was with the Saskatchewan farmer who wanted to send people to Suplex City. Brock took Bobby Lashley to Suplex City. Roman showed that a GOAT could slay the Beast. Paul says you will never hear me talk about the reigning and defending. Roman came to the Rumble and he smashed Brock Lesnar. Paul says he realized he did not have to protect Roman Reigns from Brock Lesnar. He had to protect Brock Lesnar from Roman Reigns.
Roman came to me and he offered him the hand of forgiveness, the hand of love, the hand of family. Roman offered the hand of acknowledgment. Paul says he handed Roman the WWE Championship and he smashed Brock Lesnar. Bobby Lashley pinned Brock and is the new WWE Champion.
Now you have to acknowledge there will be no title versus title, champion versus champion, winner takes all match at Wrestlemania. Brock Lesnar will do what Roman Reigns wants him to do. Brock will acknowledge THE Champion Roman Reigns.
Paul tells Brock this is how it is done and Paul says that he acknowledges Roman Reigns. Paul says Oklahoma City can show the world your moment in history to acknowledge Roman.
