Erick Rowan makes his way to the ring.
Rowan says what you just saw was a work of art. Some people paint and some people sing, but what he does is annihilate. He says do not call him an artist, call him a creator and what he created demands respect. Erick says you like to belittle him and make up names about him. You call him a redwood tree and that means you saw him as less than human. That has changed because might makes right.
