Brock Lesnar Promo 

Good evening, Pittsburgh. Your WWE Champion is in the house. I’m sorry, I got to do this. You see for the last 20 years, that loud mouth Paul Heyman has been doing the yapping for me, but I got to do this for you tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Monday Night Raw. That felt good, but it felt like it sucked. I won’t be doing that again, but what I don’t suck at is handing out country ass kickings. You see, this Sunday at WrestleMania, I’m going to spoil my game plan to Roman here. I have a hard time doing it, but I’m just going to do it. See, Roman, this Sunday, this is a spoiler now, we’re going to take a trip down memory lane. Yeah, you can play along like that, if you want. We’re going to take a trip down the streets of Suplex City. And then I’m going to introduce you to the old beast of broadway.

After that, play along, that’s all right. We’re going to hit the carnival. We’re going to go for a ride on The F5. And ain’t nobody survives a ride on The F5. Yeah, Steve will be there too. He’s an ass kicker like me too. But he didn’t kick my ass. All right. Enough. After our carnival ride, now, this is where the party really starts. Roman, we’re going to hit a wedding. We’re gonna be Wedding Crashers. My title is going to marry your title. And it’s going to have a baby, the unified title. And I get full custody. Listen, yeah. I’m in a great mood tonight, because you know why, six days at WrestleMania, I finally get my hands on Roman Reigns. You see, there’s no more running, Roman. There’s nowhere to hide this Sunday, okay? This Sunday at WrestleMania, I’m going to stand above you with two titles, and I’m going to raise them to the sky, and they will chant, and new reigning, defending, unified Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar.

Roman Reigns Promo

Pittsburgh, Acknowledge Me. You see, I was going to come out here and I was gonna shine on you. I was going to talk about, you know, being the last needle mover, we was gonna talk about god mode, we was gonna talk about how I used to run Monday Night Raw, until Fox came begging for me to come save SmackDown. And those are fall facts. It’s all true. The Tribal Chief has done everything that you can do in this busines, you see, except one thing. If you all keep whatting me, I’m gonna smash all of y’all like I would Steve Austin. Just like I’m going to smash Brock Lesnar. So like I was saying, The Tribal Chief has done everything except beat the beast at WrestleMania and that pisses me off. Let’s talk about Brock, then, that’s what you want to do, talk about Brock. What really bothers me about Brock is just a couple weeks ago, he was out for blood. It was personal to him. But he’s already spilled my blood.

In 2018, at WrestleMania 34, he busted my head wide open, right here, one right here on the hairline, and one across the top of my skull and I bled all over New Orleans. He smashed my face to the point my children didn’t even recognize me. My wife didn’t want me in this business anymore. My father doubted me. My family was disappointed me. And then he comes out here, and it’s just a game now. We’re talking about Suplex City. It’s a carnival, it’s a wedding now, the title is gonna have babies now, it’s just a game. That’s all good because the Tribal Chief changed the game. We changed the game, and we’re going to take everything from him. You see, I already took his advocate and upgraded him to a Wiseman. I took his claim to being the longest reigning champion in the past 35 years. I got my receipt and I took his blood at Madison Square Garden. And this Sunday, I make the final move and I’m going to take his title. And then, Brock, you’re going to know what it’s going to be like to make it personal. Because I’m gonna make it personal. Because it’s always been personal to me.

Kevin Owens Promo 

Wow, what a piece of footage. There is nobody who does video packages than the WWE. It was nothing compared to my tribute to Stone Cold Steve Austin last week. You all saw it. That was amazing. And you know I heard people, I heard people saying that somehow, I was mocking Stone Cold, and you know what, those are lies. What? I said those are lies. What? I said that people were lying. That was me paying homage to the great Stone Cold we all love and remember. And you know, I know everyone is absolutely ecstatic that Stone Cold Steve Austin is my guest on The KO Show in the main event of WrestleMania, Saturday, and so am I. Okay. I am. But look, last week, that wasn’t just me paying tribute to Stone Cold. That was also me doing everybody watching a favor because you see that, last Monday night, me being dressed up as Steve Austin, that’s the closest we will ever get to the old Stone Cold we used to admire, okay? Because that Stone Cold, he’s gone, he has been gone for 19 years. What? He has been gone for 19 years. What? 19 years and he ain’t ever coming back.

Yeah, WrestleMania on The KO Show, it’s not going to be Stone Cold. It’s going to be Steve. It’s not Stone Cold anymore. It’s Steve. Okay, and that’s cool. It’s cool. It’s Steve, the same Steve that’s been drinking himself into an oblivion for 19 years now. The same Steve who is so bored to tears on his stupid ranch, that he is begging everybody, please, can you come on my little podcast so we can talk about the old days and make me feel good again. Hey, but look, that Steve, he still sounds like Stone Cold, he still looks like Stone Cold. We saw that video of him, right, of him in front of his little golf cart. It was heavily edited, I’m sure, but he still looks and sounds like Stone Cold. He even still talks a big game like Stone Cold because he knows he has to but let me tell you all something. Steve is coming to the KO Show to pick a fight with me because he knows damn well what would happen if he picked a fight with Kevin Owens. He’s coming to the KO Show to have another nice little conversation about his career, he wants to have a nice little chat, and you know what, Steve, I’m so honored and and happy that you accepted my invitation that I will do that for you. I’m a good person. I will give you the I will give you the biggest platform you’ve ever had in your career on the WrestleMania main event edition of The KO Show. So we can talk about you, make you feel good, and give you the little sendoff you think you deserve.

You know what? I’m even going to do something very special for you, see, because I hate beer. It’s disgusting. I’m going to drink one with you, okay. We’re going to sit down together in the middle of the ring at AT&T Stadium and drink. We’re going to drink together, right, we can toast. You know what, that’s perfect. We will toast. We will toast to you, Steve Austin, finally officially passing the torch to me, not only as the new Stone Cold, but the one true master of The Stunner. Because Owens 3:16 says, my stunner is better than yours. If you think my stunner is better than Stone Cold’s, give me a hell yeah. And then once that’s done, Steve, you can be on your way. Doesn’t that sound perfect. It does. But Steve, just one little friendly warning, if you try to get funny with me, there’s going to be a stunner but you will be on the receiving end of it. Oh, hell yeah. Let me repeat that to make sure you heard me loud and clear. Steve, if you try to pick a fight with me on The KO Show, I will end up pouring one of your very own beers on to your lifeless carcass after I open up a can of whoop ass on you. And that’s the bottom like because KO said so.

Edge Promo 

Last week on Raw, I had a choice to make. Do I blast Seth Rollins with a chair and give him another beating this Sunday at WrestleMania, one that he deserves? And it’s very tempting, or do I let fate take its course. But like I’ve talked about recently, I’ve decide to take fate into my own hands and it made me realize, AJ, it’s serendipity, it needed to be you. AJ, we need each other. You needed to pull off the veil of mediocrity that you placed on your own head, to remind you that you were an era defending superstar in this industry.

You’re welcome, by the way. I, on the other hand, I needed you to become what I’ve become. I am a wild light, blinding bright. I am the benchmark of the WWE. We’ve already pushed each other to better places, AJ, only I will keep soaring, and you will stay where you are. This Sunday, at WrestleMania, finally after over 20 years of running parallel, collecting championships wherever we’ve gone, blowing the roofs off of arena’s worldwide, you and I will face off on the grandest stage of them all, for the first time ever, in a match for the ages. But AJ, I saw the look in your eyes Monday, and I realized I’m roaming inside of your head. This Sunday at WrestleMania, AJ, it’s your judgment day. Under judgment, it’s sealed.
