Paul Heyman Speaks:

Paul Heyman introduces himself and hypes Brock Lesnar. Heyman says he came to the rancid city of Newark to address the rumors and shoot from the hip. Heyman says it’s true that his client Brock Lesnar will be at Wrestlemania. Heyman adds on that Lesnar will be anywhere he damn well pleases before Wrestlemania and anywhere he damn well pleases after Wrestlemania and he will be there as the Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Champion because he Lesnar will be champion as well as he damn well pleases.

Paul Heyman’s mic cuts off. Heyman says obviously the sound guy is from New Jersey.

Paul Heyman does the “Believe That.” catchphrase, then says the WWE Universe always buys into fantasies and uses Daniel Bryan at Fast Lane as an example. Heyman says deep down, the fans didn’t believe it because if Daniel Bryan came up against his client, Bryan would be squished like a cockroach under the boot of Brock Lesnar.

Paul Heyman brings up Roman Reigns, but the microphone is busted. Heyman gets a mic from Lillian Garcia. Heyman responds by telling her it’s about time she did something right.

After the crowd “Ooohs” Paul Heyman, Heyman responds that the “Oooh” moment is everyone is buying into Roman Reigns, expecting Reigns to win. Heyman says WWE believes it and that it’s booked by God himself that Reigns is going to win because we “Believe That.” Heyman says Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H and John Cena also believe that Roman Reigns could beat them in his prime and no one disputed them. A fan calls Heyman out on not saying Andre The Giant and Heyman fires back that he left Andre out because he’s dead, then calls the fan stupid.

Paul Heyman says not one man disputed him because they all believe that Roman Reigns is a bad ass Samoan with a chip on his shoulder because that chip comes from the fact that Roman Reigns can’t beat Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania.
