Kevin Owens: "You know Seth... I think... You just kicked some sense into me, no pun intended. Because I've been thinking a lot about what you said last week. And after what just happened... I have a lot to say, and I know you're watching... So listen up! Last Monday you walked around this place, and said that while you never trained here, this building was built because of you. You said that everybody that came through this place should be thankful for you. You said this building was built on your blood, sweat and tears, built on your back. But ah... I've actually heard otherwise. See I heard that this place was built despite of you. I heard that from the moment you stepped foot in that warehouse in Tampa that you mentioned, you were a nightmare to deal with. You- you knew everything about everything, you were better than everyone else. Nobody could stand you. And I gotta say, Seth, these past few months you have done an outstanding job proving everyone right when they said that all you are is an arrogant dipshit!
But look I, ah... I'm well aware of my past, okay? I'm well aware of my reputation an- and what people can say because of the path that I've chosen. But, but the difference, the difference between you and I is that I am not delusional like you. I've been saying you're delusional for a long time and last week you proved me right. You did because you talked about all those Wrestlemania moments that you've had, right? You said that-that when it comes to WrestleMania you... What did you call yourself--oh yeah! You're... You're a God. And that I am just a disappointment. I got to admit man, those words actually stung, they did. They stayed with me.
But when I was at home thinking about all this stuff it occured to me just how askew your view of reality is because, while I may not have all those Wrestlemania moments that you do, I-I can claim the same accolades that you claim. I've been Intercontinental Champion twice, I've been United States Champion three times, I-I have been Universal Champion, in fact I was Universal Champion well before you. And those ah, those WrestleMania moments you talk about see, all the accomplishments I just listed that I have? Well I'm man enough to admit that I didn't get them on my own. No, because I had someone watching my back or helping me for each of 'em, one way or another.
And so did you. I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but those WrestleMania moments you're so proud of, none of 'em you accomplished on your own. You always always had backup, and if you didn't have backup, you found some underhanded way to get what you want. And look, I'm not saying you shouldn't be proud of those moments, all I'm saying is that you need to be honest with yourself. Because the only thing said last week that actually makes sense... Is that when you got to WWE you were told that nothing you accomplished before you got here matters. Your past no longer matters and that... that will never be more true than comes Saturday at WrestleMania, because on Saturday when you and I get into this ring together your past doesn't matter. My past doesn't matter. The only thing... [Owens slowly stands] The only thing that matters, is that it's you and me, finally, one on one.
And Seth... This Saturday night I will show you that you're not a prophet, you're not a Messiah, you are not a God when I beat you in the middle of this ring and I take my first WrestleMania moment from you. Because this Saturday... I will be the one... to burn... it... down..."
