[Roman Reigns is sitting in his locker room, with Paul Heyman by his side. For context: Reigns is scheduled to defend his title against Logan Paul at the upcoming pay-per-view event, Crown Jewel.]
Paul Heyman: "If I can be empirical to you, I just need you to watch one simple piece of footage. Please, sir. We roll for you."
[The footage being played on Roman's TV shows Logan boxing and preparing for his match with Reigns. 'Tribal Chief' does not take the next contender to his title seriously. After the footage ends, Roman shows his dissatisfaction.]
Roman Reigns: "Why are we watching this?"
Paul Heyman: "Because, my 'Tribal Chief', it just takes one 'lucky punch' [see Note 1]."
Roman Reigns: "He's not-- Wise Man, he's not gonna hit a 'lucky punch'."
Paul Heyman: "My 'Tribal Chief', I was in synagogue and I was sitting next to a doctor, who knows a doctor, who knows Logan Paul's doctor, and you know how we all kibitz. And Logan Paul's doctor told the doctor that knows my doctor, that Logan Paul once broke his hand. And Logan Paul has steel pins inserted in the hands that he throws that knock out punch with."
Roman Reigns: "Wise Man. Wise Man!"
Paul Heyman: "Yes, my 'Tribal Chief'?"
Roman Reigns: "He's had two matches! Two!"
[Heyman starts to panic.]
Paul Heyman: "And this would be his third match, and Brock Lesnar won the UFC title in his third match [see Note 2] [Reigns slowly loses his temper and Paul gets more scared]. Not that Logan Paul is Brock Lesnar! Not that Brock Lesnar is Roman Reigns! I mean, you beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania [38] and, and, and at SummerSlam in the Last Man [Standing match]... My 'Tribal Chief', I think this is a good time for me to take my absence. I'm gonna fire up the jet for you, my 'Tribal Chief'."
Roman Reigns: "That's what you should do."
Paul Heyman: "Thank you, thank you for your time, my 'Tribal Chief'."
[Heyman heads towards the exit door, leaving Roman to contemplate alone.]
