"When I dream things, I have to manifest them."

[Edge is seated in the ring with a spotlight on him]

Edge: "I went to WrestleMania Six, Hulk Hogan versus The Ultimate Warrior. That night I knew what I needed to do with the rest of my life. When I dream things, I have to manifest them. That's the way things work in my world and some of you may relate, but a lot of you won't because common sense isn't very common, and I did. I became a WWE superstar. A superstar who accomplished everything, everything, but ending my career on my terms. Now some of you will also say 'Well, isn't that enough?' and if you have to ask, 'Isn't that enough?' Then you have no idea the mentality it takes to see the heights that I've seen, to fight back for your career for nine years. See, I didn't walk away from this. I had this ripped away from me. I didn't try to forge another career off the back of this. THIS IS ALL THAT I WANTED TO DO! And I fought and I ripped my career right back out of fate's hands. I didn't come back for some greatest hits tour, to be a shell of my former self. I came back to STEAL the show, TO MAIN EVENT WRESTLEMANIA! And I missed nine of them, so I won't apologize for that.

So Daniel Bryan, you come out here saying this could be your last WrestleMania. Have you heard everyone, this could be Daniel Bryan's last WrestleMania? A month in your career is like a year in mine, WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS FOR ME?! So you use sympathy as a factor to weasel your way into this match and then before that though, you had these ridiculous ideas. Why don't I face the winner of Roman and Edge, I'm assuming right after we face each other. Well that got shut down. Okay, fine. Why don't I face Edge on the Saturday of WrestleMania, the winner faces Roman on the Sunday? Well, that got shut down, but somehow this has now been made a Triple Threat match. Which means Daniel Bryan could pin Roman Reigns and I have nothing to do with that. That could happen. So instead of a one on one match, a clash of the titans between two eras, now we have some indie bookstore clerk troll sticking his nose in our business. Now Roman Reigns, you walk around here man like everyone owes you something like you created this. I don't owe you anything. In fact, you owe me. I mean let's run it back. You came into the WWE in a three-man group. You made your entrance through the crowd. You use a Spear as your finisher, well who set that template for you? You're Samoan Edge. [Edge laughs]

But I will say, you're good. You always have been, and I see what you've become. I came back to swing for the fences and Roman you are the green monster. And now we had our match ripped away from us, and not only that, but the fans have had it ripped away from them. And I think some of them are onto Daniel Bryan now, except for the lemmings who chant "Yes" just like they used to chant "What?" And somewhere in all of this, the fact that has been lost as that this match takes place ten years to the day when I was forced to retire. It's not mentioned. No video packages, No social media platforms, No touching videos with piano music as the bed, no, nothing. Anyone else? If that's Daniel Bryan, that narrative is driven into the ground. And why? Why am I having to remind everyone of this? It's because since I've been back, I have not received the respect that I deserve. I fought back from a torn triceps to enter the Royal Rumble, start number one, outlast twenty-nine other superstars, and punch my ticket to the main event of WrestleMania.

I shouldn't have to jump through hoops. I have come back from something that no one, no one in the history of sports, let alone sports entertainment, has ever come back from. NINE YEARS, A TRIPLE FUSION IN MY NECK! YOU HAVE NO IDEA, THE PAIN THAT I HAVE GONE THROUGH TO GET THIS BACK! You want to call me some kind of part-timer? You think I've got to come out here and phone it in? I am doing hurricanranas off the top rope. I am competing at a level that NO ONE has ever done from this type of injury. That is a slap in the face to me and my work ethic. So now, it's time for me to take and demand the respect that I deserve. You will put respect on my name. In case you forgot, in case you never knew, I AM THE RATED-R SUPERSTAR. You can call it fate, you can call it God's will, you can call it whatever the hell you want. I am the next Universal Champion. Because I've DREAMT IT. And now, I will MANIFEST IT.
