Roman Reigns & Logan Paul Segment
Roman Reigns: Worcester, Mass. Acknowledge Me. This is my show. And that means you’re my guest. This is a safe place. Please, come on in, we want to hear what you got say. But I also think it’s important that you hear what we have to say as well, so, please, come on in.
Paul Heyman: And you get to have all this content creation in saying, I, Logan Paul got smashed by Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel. And at that moment in your life, Logan Paul, you will not be offering a prediction, you sir will be offering a spoiler.
Logan Paul: Woo! I can’t argue with that, Paul. You really are a wise man. But I do have one question for you, if you don’t mind? When you say that I’m gonna get smashed by The Tribal Chief, do you mean The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns or The Tribal Chief Jey Uso?
Sami Zayn: Okay, hang on a second, okay. All right. Let’s all just take a deep breathe here for one second, okay. Roman, look, Roman, you are the head of the table. You are the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. You are the goat. More importantly, you are The Tribal Chief. You’re The Tribal Chief. Nobody here is questioning that. Nobody is challenging that, nobody, okay? This is your family. And Jey Uso, Jey Uso did nothing wrong, okay? The only person doing anything around here is this wannabe, this fake, this pretender, this YouTuber, who wants to be a WWE Superstar.
Who doesn’t realize that at Crown Jewel he is going to get smashed, worse than anybody’s ever been smashed in their entire life. Oh yeah, keep chuckling. Let me tell you something. We have a little saying here in The Bloodline. You the two’s and we the ones. Well, you are the biggest two of them all, my dog. That’s right, that’s what you are. You’re a giant number two. And that is how you are going to end up as a number two stain on the bottom of the Tribal Chief’s shoe when he is done with you at Crown Jewel. And when he’s done with you, guess what? The Bloodline will still be here. We will be stronger than ever. More united than ever, because we the ones.
