Roman Reigns & Edge Segment 

Paul Heyman: Ladies and gentlemen, I have many flaws, but being inarticulate is not one of them. However, as we are here to acknowledge your tribal chief, I dare say, this footage speaks almost as eloquently as I do. No, The Head Of The Table does not suck. Here’s something that sucks, and here’s the solution to the problem. The Fiend got frightened. Strowman got slaughtered. Kevin got KO’d. Edge and Daniel Bryan got pinned, stacked, emasculated, neutered, embarrassed, humiliated at WrestleMania.

Daniel Bryan was man enough to come back, and he got shipped the hell right back out. Cesaro got clobbered. Then, The Mysterio’s, The Mysterio’s got launched, literally, figuratively, metaphorically straight to hell. And their cell is watching Roman Reigns from their hospital beds. Ladies and gentlemen, in less than a year, The Universal Champion Roman Reigns has wiped out the entire division, so your Tribal Chief is gonna have to change course a little bit here in something that has never, ever been done on network television before. Your Tribal Chief will enlighten you, because, ladies and gentlemen, we have no choice. There’s no one left.
