In-Ring Segment: Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman
Reigns says there is a lot about last week that he didn’t like. There is one thing he refuses to stand for and it’s a liar like Edge. Edge claims he’s in Reigns head. Reigns says he’s an honest man, so he can cop to for maybe 10 seconds there of fear and doubt when Edge had him in the crossface at WrestleMania. That fear motivated him to smash and stack Daniel Bryan and Edge to win. The only reason Edge was able to get to him a few weeks ago is because he wasn’t focused. Reigns’ was distracted by his family issues with his cousins to focus on Edge. Jimmy Uso interrupts and says he did what he did last week for them, the family. Reigns was nowhere to be found. Jimmy jokes that Reigns was on vacation. Reigns says he was busy doing Jimmy’s job. The Usos music hits and Jey Uso hits the ring. Jey says he’s here for the family not for any one of them. Jey tells Jimmy he’s got his back and they need to get back to what they want, being the 7-time tag team champions. Reigns says that’s what needs to happen and the way they will succeed is together. No one can touch them if they do it Reigns way. Everyone hugs.
