Paul Heyman introduces himself then says it is the greatest pleasure in his career to serve as the advocate for the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar: The Conqueror of The Undertaker’s Streak. Paul Heyman says The Undertaker’s streak lasted nearly a quarter of a century, but it ended in 3 seconds at the hands of the conqueror Brock Lesnar

A “Bullshit” chant breaks out.

Paul Heyman tells the WWE Universe that he understands their frustrations because they are in shock, which he blames on their lack of intelligence. Heyman says that he hates to say he and Brock Lesnar told them so, but he told them so.

Paul Heyman mocks the WWE Universe’s ability to read, then mockingly reads Brock Lesnar’s “Eat, Sleep, Break The Streak” t-shirt. Heyman calls out the WWE Universe for doubting himself and Brock Lesnar. Paul Heyman says Brock Lesnar is not here to put smiles on people’s faces, he is here to shock the WWE Universe and put tears in the eyes of children.

Paul Heyman “shoots from the hip” and reveals that 5 seconds after The Undertaker walked through the curtain, The Undertaker collapsed. Heyman also reveals that Vince McMahon left Wrestlemania and rode to the hospital with The Undertaker. Heyman tells the WWE Universe that The Undertaker is being treated today for a severe concussion, came close to having a broken neck and cracked skull.

Paul Heyman says that the greatest thing The Undertaker ever did was not getting his shoulder up after that 3rd F-5 because if he did, Brock Lesnar would have broken The Undertaker’s neck and cracked his skull. Heyman reveals Lesnar was willing to beat on The Undertaker to such a degree that the complexity of RAW would’ve changed tonight because Brock wasn’t done until the streak was dead.

Paul Heyman brings up the commentary team of “JBL and those two other things that call themselves announcers” and everyone else in the Superdome (“Not Silverdome, Hogan. Superdome”) giving a standing ovation to The Undertaker, the guy who lost the fight. Heyman Brock Lesnar taught him that in every fight, there is a winner and a loser, and that night, Undertaker was a loser, and the winner, whether we like it or not, was Brock Lesnar.

Paul Heyman says that everyone in the crowd tonight is just like the members of the WWE Locker Room: They’re all a bunch of wannabes. Heyman calls out the WWE Locker Room for not having the guts to look Brock Lesnar in the eye or give him the standing ovation he deserved after defeating The Streak. Paul Heyman says this is fine because Brock Lesnar doesn’t respect them either and that he barely tolerates Heyman, and that he doesn’t respect fans who fly in to Wrestlemania, then try to get noticed on RAW.

Paul Heyman says there are a lot of Superstars in the back that wish they could do what Brock Lesnar does but they didn’t because they’re all wannabes. Heyman says not only is Brock Lesnar: The one, but he is the 1 in 21-1.

Paul Heyman calls out the WWE Universe chanting “What?” to him. Heyman says he forgot who they were so he will say it slowly for them. Heyman mocks them further by saying “Brock Lesnar Is The 1 in 21-1” in slow motion.

Paul Heyman says there a WWE Hall Of Famerssssszuh, Legendssssszuh, and WWE Superstarsssszuh and the key to that is that they’re all plural. Heyman says there is one who stands head and shoulders above them all, the one conqueror of the streak and his name is Brock Lesnar.
