You must be confused, farm boy. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> That title, that's my title, and you don't even realize it,
cuz I'm gonna smash you at WrestleMania. And it's not even your fault, Brock. You ain't got a chance. This is my show. This is my ring. This cameraman right here,
this is my cameraman. These people, these are all my
people because they acknowledge me. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Speaker 1: These two right here, they work for me. This commentary team is mine because they
brag and talk about me the whole time. That sign right there is mine
because I am WrestleMania. I am this show. I run this show, and
everybody works for me. John Cena acknowledged
me at Money in the Bank. John Cena acknowledged
me on Monday Night Raw. He acknowledged me tonight. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Speaker 1: And Paul, to be honest,
I wanted to acknowledge John. I did, I really did. I really did, yeah. >> I know you did, you talked about him. >> Hollywood fooled me. They put a whole new paint job on John. I thought we were going
to get something new. I thought we were going
to get something special. But what happened at Money in the Bank,
what happened? He came out here and
he put on a nostalgia act. It's the same thing. He came out here, the same music,
the same entrance, the same run to the ring, the same outfit,
the same promo, the same insults. If I wanted that, all I had to do was
search online for 2005 John Cena. It's the same thing over and
over and over. It's like missionary
position every single night. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Speaker 1: Let me switch gears here. Let me ask you a question. You ever won that one? >> [APPLAUSE]
>> All right, we know that. Have you ever even competed for
one of these? >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Hold on, have you ever been in the main
event of WrestleMania before? >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Speaker 1: Because I'm pretty sure I done did all of that. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Speaker 1: So that means I'm the most experienced
main event of all time. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> But here's the kicker. I've been groomed since
I was just a little boy, not only by my father,
But by your father, too. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> I have too much love and respect for that man to degrade him. He's done way too much for me. We spent a lot of time together. I said this many times
before in interviews. The dream is the one that
put the confidence in me. He's the first one that told me I had hit. Let me try to do a dream real quick, baby. You have it, you couldn't get rid of it. You couldn't sell it if you wanted to,
you are it. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> And we would talk for hours, and we would talk about everything,
literally everything. To be honest, it was a lot about,
right now, what's going on in my life? He used to tell me about these
main events, about being the guy, being the face of the company
main event in WrestleManias. He called it all before. My God, he was the best. He really was. Hey, you wanna know what he
used to always say about you? Nothing. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> I know he's not here anymore. But just know this, if there's anything that he didn't teach you, I will. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> All right, we're very proud of you. I gave you a couple of months, and
they say your name nowb [LAUGH]. But let's be honest here,
over 1100 days as champ, I've done things that you would
never imagine in this business. What makes you think you could
ever stand in the ring with me? Honest, I mean, who the hell you think
you are standing in my ring right now? >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Trying to understand what makes you tick? So let's talk about your family. Let me ask you a few questions. What kind of man was your father? >> Speaker 2: My father is a great man. So watch where you're going there, buddy. Okay, is he a smart man? Is he a smart man? >> Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a very smart man. And if you are,
you're gonna heed my warning just now, because you gotta think about
what you're gonna say next. >> Speaker 2: I'm not
trying to piss you off. >> Speaker 2: No.
>> Speaker 2: I'm just trying to get to know you. >> Speaker 2: Yeah. >> Speaker 2: I'm trying to
understand why you don't understand. Why you don't see your own limitations. And the only thing I can think of is
because he didn't teach you that. You see, you're not built for this game. You're not supposed to be here. You're not a castle, you're not a bishop,
a knight, not the queen. You're a pawn, you're simple. I'm the king of this board. Everything revolves around me. And you still don't understand this. You still think that you can have this
universal championship, but you can't. You're ill-equipped, you're inferior. You will never be universal champion. And on Sunday at Royal Rumble,
you don't have a chance, so it's not your fault, man. It's not your fault, Kev. I don't blame you. Blame your family. The fact that you think you
have a chance makes you a fool. And if you are a fool,
Your father's a fool. >> If your father's a father,
that means your grandfather's a father. To be honest, Zeus, I would give you this title if I could,
but the truth is you wouldn't
even know what to do with it. You don't understand the accountability, the responsibility of being on top. You don't understand the weight and the pressure from being
the face of the WWE. How could you? It's not your fault, you're a twin. Your entire life,
you've depended on your brother. I'm not saying you're
half the man that I am. No, you are one half of the greatest
tag team of our generation. And because of that,
our family and I are so, so proud of you, but
our family depends on me. Our family relies on me
being the tribal chief. That's who I am in this life. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> It ain't you. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> It won't ever be you because it'll always, always be me. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Speaker 2: I'm not
here every week anymore. So every once in a while, people are going to come out here and
say some stupid stuff. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> So I just wanna set the record straight. If anyone ever comes out here and
says they're the face of this company,
it's not me, they're lying. If anybody ever comes out here and
says they're the main event and it's not me, they're lying. And if anyone ever comes out here and says that they carry this
company on their back, Drew McIntyre, you're lying. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> There's only one man that can say they're
the face of this company. There's only one man that can
say they're the main event. Not a main eventer, the main event and there's only one man that carries
this company on his back. And his name is the tribal chief,
the head of the table, Roman Reigns. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> I told you all many, many times, I'm a man of my word. What I say has substance here. So I don't have to say anything face to
face to Drew, because he's beneath me. >> Oosie, Oosie, Oosie, Oosie. >> I tell you right now,
Michael Cole ain't feeling Oosie. And Logan Paul ain't gonna be
feeling Oosie tomorrow, either. So this is what we're gonna do right now. I'm gonna give you
the opportunity to thank me now. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Speaker 4: I think it's you
that needs to thank me, Roman. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Your boy just made you relevant in the Middle East. Let's hear it for Saudi Arabia, baby. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Speaker 2: Let's chill out real quick. I've been entertaining
Saudi Arabia while you are making those terrible little YouTube vlogs, okay? >> [APPLAUSE]
>> I'm gonna give you one more opportunity to
thank me right now because I'm gonna teach you something, some invaluable
lessons you're gonna learn tomorrow. So go and take this opportunity to
acknowledge and thank your tribal chief. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Speaker 1: And you're still stuck on the past? >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Speaker 2: Me and your brother, we've moved forward. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go back and forth with you. It's simple. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Fall in line, stand with us and acknowledge me. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Or you can take your ass home,
you understand? You can take your ass home. And when you turn on the TV, you're
gonna have to explain to your kids while you're sitting there with them
watching the tribal chief and the Uso. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Speaker 2: I wanna talk about what happened last year. >> [APPLAUSE] >> I don't know if you tuned in last week, but me and Sammy,
we had the biggest SmackDown match of the year against John Cena and
Kevin Owens. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> And what do you think happened? >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Some say we lost. [LAUGH] >> [APPLAUSE]
>> And that's just something I don't understand,
because the tribal chief don't lose. It's not in my makeup. It's not my DNA, so
I had to think about that. I had to sit on that. I had to chew on it and
really think hard and long about it. I didn't lose, he lost. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Speaker 2: My shoulders weren't on the mat. Sammy's shoulders were on the mat,
so I didn't lose. So I don't really care
about that to be honest. We're moving forward from that. But what's confusing to me,
this is where I cannot figure it out. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Why'd you call your shot? Why'd you guarantee a win? Why'd you do that? I do that, I call my shot. The tribal chief calls his shot and
guess what? The tribal chief always delivers and
there's never a problem. You see, it's embarrassing. It's embarrassing when you call your shot. When you go out there and look at me,
I'm like babe ruth, you all and then you fail to deliver. So that's why I just don't understand. I had to keep asking myself,
you wanna be tribal chief? >> [APPLAUSE]
>> That's what I don't understand. Why are you doing things like me? Are you trying to be like me? Do you wanna do what I do? Do you think you can do
things better than me? No, no, no, think about it, guys. In my position, at the very top,
you have to always be concerned and think about these things. You have to always keep eyes
in the back of your head. And I just have to, why, why are you
doing what the Tribal Chief does? Why do you think you can do it? Do you wanna be me? Do you wanna be the Tribal Chief? Do you think you're me? Do you think you're me? Do you think you're me? Do you wanna be me? Do you wanna be the Tribal Chief? Do you wanna run The Bloodline? You just gonna stop right there? [NOISE]
>> If you're gonna come into my arena, at least step foot in my ring and
acknowledge your Tribal Chief. [NOISE] >> Come on, don't be scared now. [NOISE] >> [LAUGH] Hey, he's nervous, you know what I'm saying? Y'all, New York, take it easy on him. He's a little nervous. It's his first time, all right? [LAUGH] [NOISE]
>> I get it. Hey, wise man, we like him, right? We like him. >> Speaker 1: He's all right. >> Speaker 1: I can appreciate what you're
trying to do, but let's be honest here. You have no clue what you're doing
with that briefcase right now. As a matter of fact,
I think he needs a wise man. You need somebody to counsel you. I'll be that guy for the night. All right, here's some words of wisdom for
you, Theory. I want you to start looking around. I want you to analyze this situation here,
you understand? Your daddy's not here anymore. [NOISE] >> This is my ring. [NOISE] >> And you heard them, daddy's gone. [NOISE] >> I'll tell you who his daddy is, cuz if he keeps messing up,
the Tribal Chief is going to be his daddy. But we don't want that because we want
you to understand the situation here. I run the garden now. [NOISE] >> He's out here talking about the past, y'all. [LAUGH] You must be sleeping
under a rock or something. You don't understand
what's happening here. I'm in God mode nowadays, son. [NOISE]
>> I'm the Tribal Chief. I'm the head of your table. I'm the provider around here. I'm the greatest of this generation,
no questions asked. I'm the greatest
Universal Champion of all time, which makes me the greatest
to ever do this. This is a waste of my time. You're a waste of my time. I mean, come on, look at this guy. You look like a clown, you sound like
a clown, because you're a clown. You clearly don't have
the star power that I have. You'll never reach the levels
that I've reached. And let's just be honest. If I was looking for
a superstar, a megastar, I wouldn't have chose you from Raw. Hell, you wouldn't even been the one I
would have chose from your own household. [NOISE]
>> If I wanted to main event the Royal Rumble with a megastar,
I would have chose your wife. [NOISE] >> John said that by accepting your challenge, I'm ducking him. I'm ducking him, so that means he
thinks you're lesser than him. You're a lesser man than him. That's what he thinks. That's what he said. [NOISE]
>> I'd boo, too. It's a jerk thing to say,
but I don't think this. I think you're worthy. I think you're worthy to challenge for
the Universal Championship. And I also think you're worthy to
catch this beat down at SummerSlam. [NOISE]
>> But just for the record, just for the record,
I don't think you're anything like John. You don't come out here with that same
tired old shtick that's not working anymore. So you got to reference other
superstars and run their catchphrase. No, that's not you, no. You hungry, you want it,
and I dig that about you. So I have to say this. If you sign this contract,
I'm going to smash you and send you right back to NXT. [NOISE] >> I want you to be a man. I want you to take responsibility. I have witnesses out here, Paul and Jey. What did I say last
week about Kevin Owens? We were done, right? It was done. We were no, no, you've done enough. You have done enough. I said I was done with them. I wanted to move forward. But what happened? Who did KO go to? He went to his friend Adam Pearce. What do you ask for a favor or something? You knew each other for a long time. You would think someone who's
known a friend for that long, they would care about their well being. You would think that you would be able
to make the right choice for him. What do you do around here, anyways? [CROSSTALK] Of course I know,
because I am who I am, so I know everything and
the things that I don't. That's why I have Paul here. We do our job. Know, check the stats,
the info, the analytics. >> Speaker 2: We do our job. >> Speaker 1: Adam, what do you do? You're supposed to be managing the talent,
looking out for the talent, making the right decisions. And you threw him right back into the
shark tank, right back into the deep end. Anything you want, Ko, go ahead. And what happened now he's not here. Now he can't provide for his family. You did that. You are to blame. Because I'm a good guy,
because I'm a gentleman. I bring you back to redeem
yourself this week. You clearly make a terrible decision
last week, and we were like, let's see, what are you going to do this week? And what does he do? You book a gauntlet match. So WWE official Adam Pierce is
going to make the choice for the head of the table, the tribal chief,
the universal Champion. Like, I can't pick my opponent. Like, I haven't done
enough work around here. >> Speaker 2: Like I haven't
carried this company for years, and I can't make the choice for myself. >> Speaker 1: Like,
I'm inadequate at my job. Are you better at this job? >> Speaker 3: Nobody is saying that,
Roman. I'm simply trying to put the best
challengers in front of you. That's what I'm trying to do. That's literally part of my job. >> Speaker 1: Everybody, just let's give him a round of applause
because he's trying to do a good job. >> Speaker 2: A lot of people. >> Speaker 1: Exactly the point. >> Speaker 2: I'm going to make. A lot of people say a lot of things to me,
a lot of stupid things. And that's exactly what John
did last week, is it not? He came out here and
he said a lot of dumb stuff. You came out here and you said a lot of dumb stuff and they
reacted because you said it with energy. You did your John Cena thing. They got excited, and I dig that. >> Speaker 1: I like them excited. >> Speaker 2: I want you. Go ahead, Pop. It's great, right? But I'm not going to allow
this man to lie to no, no. I'm not going to allow
him to misinform you. This man thinks he can pin me. One, two, three. Wise man. When's the last time I
lost my tribal chief? No one has ever beaten this. Roman Reigns. Stats are stacked. And there you have it. >> Speaker 4: Tomorrow SmackDown
will no longer have a resident Universal champion
until WrestleMania in Dallas. See you there. Thanks to Roman Reigns, tomorrow,
the impossible becomes possible when the champ is here,
thanks to Roman Reigns. And all it takes is one, two, three. >> Speaker 2: You don't get it, do you? You don't get it. And I'm trying to rationalize. I'm trying to understand it. You've been busy. Movies, premieres, dress up. It's a little weird, but I get it. You should have smartened
yourself up before you came back, John, because when people step in
the ring with me, I smash them so bad that WWE don't have a use for
them anymore. You understand. >> Speaker 5: This portion of my
career has been the most fulfilling. If you would have asked me
before we started doing this, I probably would have told you my work
with Make A Wish, my work with LLS, the charitable things were the really
fulfilling things, a part of this job. But I have to say, being able to
dive deep into this thing with Paul, to bring my family along, to lift them up,
to put them in a position to showcase their talents, their
potential, their superstardom, to where we get all the way to the point where we
main event both nights of WrestleMania. I'm challenging anybody. You can be a little kid right now. You can be running independence. You see what me and my family have done? I challenge you to outdo us. I want somebody to step up. I want somebody to take this ball from us. I want somebody to take
the spotlight from us, dominate. Take the island of Relevancy from me. Because if you don't, we're just going
to keep a chokehold on this game. Me and my family, the twins,
solo, the wise man. We're not taking prisoners, man. We're not lying to you. We are the best. This isn't a promo. I didn't look in the mirror in
the shower and come up with this stuff. This is as real as it gets. And the man I beat tonight,
his dad told me that ten years ago. I'm the greatest of all time. This WrestleMania solidifies. >> Speaker 1: It. >> Speaker 5: It's not
just me that's lifting up. I'm not the only megastar here anymore. The whole bloodline is. And we got some problems. And I felt it tonight. Y'all see my little social
media boy sent out the Tweet. My back was against the wall. But what's a tribal chief supposed to do,
right? Lift his family up,
just like I did from the beginning. We're going to handle some business. We're going to sort it out. But we've only begun. >> Speaker 1: And.
