And after he beats him this Sunday, he wants him to take that obnoxious light up jacket and hang it up with Roddy’s kilt because he’s finished.
Sorry, he was too busy staring at that bowl of spaghetti on his head to pay attention.
Don’t talk to Ziggler like that!
Vickie, SHUT THE HELL UP! Don’t think he forgot that she slapped him in the face on Smackdown. He hasn’t gotten the stench of her cheap perfume off. He’s gonna tell them all right now, they think he can’t win the big one? Wrong. He’s going to beat him at Summerslam, and that’s a guarantee he won’t EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER go back on. Understand?

He won in the main event of WrestleMania 27, and three weeks ago he won the Intercontinental Championship.

Ladies and gentlemen, his name is Paul Heyman. And he stands with great humility as the advocate for Brock Lesnar! They’ve all heard the news that Triple H has experienced flight delays, and he’s sure they think they’re not gonna believe it, but his client does believe it because nobody wants this match at Summerslam more than Triple H.
