Samoa Joe & Paul Heyman In-Ring Promo: 

Joe is going to make this simple. The man standing here doesn’t fear Brock Lesnar. He’s incapable of fearing him because he is far too envious of Brock Lesnar. Joe wants everything Brock has and he wants to take it from him. He wants Brock’s schedule where he’s not forced to come out week after week to the ungrateful masses. Brock can come and leave as he pleases. Joe wants Brock’s ability to instill fear into men at his behest. Joe wants Paul Heyman to be his advocate, negotiate his contracts, and run his errands. Most importantly and more than anything in the world, Joe wants Brock Lesnar’s Universal Championship. Live on PPV at Great Balls of Fire, he’ll be standing in this ring, staring him in the eye, and he will take that Universal Championship from Brock Lesnar. Paul Heyman comes out to interrupt Joe. The number one contender for the Universal Title and rightfully so. The destroyer and badass who got through four others to earn a title shot against Brock Lesnar.

The man who left wreckage in every single place he has been. The number one contender, Samoa Joe. Heyman understands that Joe doesn’t fear Brock Lesnar, but at the same time Brock doesn’t fear Samoa Joe either. What bothers him about Joe is that Joe likes that Brock doesn’t fear him. Heyman worries for a living. He sees his client’s opponents and gets worried, as a Jew. Brock assuages all of his concerns. It doesn’t matter the legend or the physical ability or athleticism of the opponent. You put them in the ring and Brock assuages all of his concerns. Two weeks ago he said he wanted to see Brock Lesnar versus Finn Balor. It’s the best case scenario. It’s a Rocky story and it’s a license to print money.

Unfortunately Joe is the worst case scenario. Joe doesn’t give a damn and he wants to fight Brock and go to war with him. Even if Brock can assuage all of his concerns, Brock will not be leaving the ring the same way he entered. Joe will take a piece of Brock Lesnar with him. It’s Heyman job to make sure that Brock Lesnar is your worst case scenario. If you want Brock Lesnar, you got Brock Lesnar. Heyman and Joe shakes hands.. Paul starts to leave the ring and Joe keeps him from exiting. Joe was disappointed by Heyman. Joe tells Heyman that that he is going to wrap his arm around Paul’s throat and your vision is going to get hazy. Then, he wants Heyman to take this message to Brock Lesnar that this is for him. Joe says he wants him to explain to Brock in excruciating detail, as only Heyman can, what is in store for Brock. Joe puts Heyman in the Coquina Clutch.
