He says it hit him in the head like Anderson Silva is going to hit your brother in the head. You are this generation’s version of Mr. T and Cyndi Lauper. You are the outside celebrity who is number one on the platforms so WWE can bring in more eyes on the product. That means more people who drop down to their knees to worship the Island of Relevancy to worship Roman Reigns. Who is the instafamous pseudo famous faux Kardashian.
Paul says he thought Jordan Peterson as an opponent but he would never have the balls to fight Roman Reigns. Paul says what about Ben Shapiro, but he is a yarmulke, not a fighter so he wouldn’t have the balls to fight Roman. There is Andrew Tate. Andrew would never have the balls to fight Roman.

The Impulsive boyfriend who could step up and provide all of his Youtube audience with the experience of being beaten up by Roman Reigns in Riyadh. While you are in the hospital with a breathing tube and catheter, and he hopes they are put in the right holes. You can say that you were smashed by Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel. You will not be offering a prediction, you would be offering a spoiler.
Logan says he cannot argue with that. You are a wise man. Logan says he has one question for Paul. When you say I am going to be smashed by the Tribal Chief, do you mean Roman Reigns or Jey Uso?
Jey says he sees what Logan is doing. Jimmy holds Jey back while he yells at Logan.
Roman looks at Jey and then Jey calms down.
Sami takes the mic and he tells everyone to take a deep breath. He says Roman si the head of the table and the WWE Champion. He says that Roman is the Tribal Chief. Nobody is questioning that. Nobody is challenging that. This is your family. He says Jey did nothing wrong. The only person doing things is this fake, wannabe. Logan will be smashed worse than anyone in their life. Sami says there is a saying in the Bloodline and he says that Logan is the biggest two of them all.
