"My money would always be on Roman Reigns"

Paul Heyman: "Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. And I know that you think I'm here to cause trouble this evening. May I? [Roman Reigns lässt ihn in den Ring] But actually, tonight, I'm here to say: Roman Reigns, congratulations, Sir. [Es erfolgt ein Handschlag] That was a hell of a main event last night. And an even more impressive victory by you, the #1 contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. And bluntly I can't say that I'm surprised. Because if you think about it, my money would always be on Roman Reigns. No matter what man you ever faced, today or in history, my money would be on Roman Reigns. Only a fool would say you're not 'The One'. Only an idiot could not look at you and realize you're different, you're distinct. You're head and shoulders above the rest.

Roman Reigns vs. Bruno Sammartino in 1975 - my money is on Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns vs. Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant in 1987 - my money is on Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin in 1998. [Buhrufe] Roman Reigns vs. The Rock in 1999. Roman Reigns vs. Triple H in 2000. Roman Reigns vs. John Cena any time in the past 13 years. My money would be on Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns vs. 29 other WWE Superstars at the Royal Rumble - truth be told, my money was on Roman Reigns. And last night at WWE Fastlane, Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan - my money was on Roman Reigns. It's a very simple thing here. You can see what I'm laying out for you. You're the guy. You are! Roman Reigns vs. any other man in history - my money is on Roman Reigns. You, Sir, are the right guy [deutet auf das WrestleMania-Logo] in the right place at the wrong time.

Because you're not fighting a man at WrestleMania. You're fighting a beast. And Roman, I have so much respect for you. You can't slay my beast. You can't conquer the conqueror. You can't be the one to beat the one in 21-1. Any other time in history my money would be on Roman Reigns. But at WrestleMania my money is on my client. Because at the end of the main event, there will be an announcement. And a title, the title, the only title that truly matters, will be held high above a head and the announcer will say: Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner and STILL reigning, defending, undisputed WWE Heavyweight Champion Of The World, Brock Lesnar!"

Roman Reigns: "Why are you standing over there, Paul? Why don't you come stand right here? I want you to stand right there. [Roman dirigiert Heyman vor sich] Right there, stand right there. And now I want you to tell me again that I can't. Do me a favour, tell me again, Paul. Tell me I can't. Come on, tell me, I've been hearing this a lot. That I can't do this, I can't do that. I have doubters. But it's all motivation, I thought you were smarter than that. So please, tell me again, give me some more motivation, Paul. Because you were there, the night after Royal Rumble. You witnessed me face-to-face with your client, Brock Lesnar. And I told him, I looked him dead in his eyes and I told him: You're gonna respect me. I don't care if he respects me. I was doing all of that just to get my Samoan blood boiling.

So I'm gonna tell you what I told him. I'm gonna beat Brock. I'm gonna beat Brock at WrestleMania. And it's not about just beating him. Nah, man. Respect goes out the window. It's not about beating him, it's the way I beat him. Because when I'm done with him, he ain't gonna like me any ways. Believe that!"
