Roman Reigns: When it comes to sports entertainment, WWE runs New York City, right? And who runs WWE?
Paul Heyman: My Tribal Chief, you run WWE.
Roman Reigns: That’s right, The Tribal Chief and The Bloodline runs WWE. Therefore, The Tribal Chief runs New York City. Which means The Tribal Chief runs Madison Square Garden. So MSG, Acknowledge Me!
– Brock Lesnar walks down to the ring.
Paul Heyman: I still fail to understand. I have one simple question for you. Of all the championships that we can go after together, why the Universal Title? Think of all the success we can have going with the WWE Championship?
Brock Lesnar: I got a question for you, Paul. Why didn’t you tell Roman I was gonna be at SummerSlam?
Paul Heyman: Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. And for 20 years, I was the advocate for the reigning, defending, undisputed, WWE Heavyweight Champion of the world, BROCK LESNAR!
Brock Lesnar: That was great, Paul. God, that was great, just like old times. Oh, man. Before Roman Reigns fires you, accept my challenge, please. My shot at Roman Reigns for the Universal Title. You’ve got five seconds, Paul.
Brock goes for The F5, but Reigns counters with The Superman Punch. Brock catches Reigns in mid-air. The Usos delivers Two SuperKicks. Brock responds with a double clothesline. Brock brings The Usos to Suplex City to close the segment.
