The scene begins in total darkness with only minor sounds being picked up by whatever is being used as a camera in this instance. After a few moments the sound of someone grabbing the camera is picked up and Roman lifts it up to focus on him. Reigns keeps the camera as steady as he can while we get a look at the surroundings which look like he’s standing in the boiler room of the Times Union Center in Albany, New York. The Head Of The Table has a huge smile on his face as he begins to speak.
Roman Reigns: Don't adjust your television screen... you don't have to blink, your eyes are fine. This is reality and before you wet your little panties let me put your mind at ease that the Shield is dead and they are never... EVER... coming back. I WAS the Shield... I AM the Shield... and I used those two for everything they were worth and then I dumped them just as fast as their usefulness ran dry.
Reigns smirks as he continues to speak.
Roman Reigns: I was only going to be able to take them so far in life until their wings needed to be snipped and they had to try and fly for themselves. At the end of the day they had to realize just like every single man and woman in this locker room and all of you watching around the world need to realize.
Roman turns back towards the camera and smiles slightly.
Roman Reigns: So now I'm here in Albany, New York at the Times Union Center for Warfare Is ROMAN and you should have seen the look on my face when I found out that I would be competing against Aiden English, the look on my face was a look of anger. Facing Aiden, is a lack of disrespect to The Head Of The Table. I know that he’s had some success here in EBWF, but Aiden doesn’t measure up to measure up to your Tribal Chief. Then again it’s almost laughable that Aiden English is my victim. He’s going to bow down to yours truly, and show me the RESPECT that I DESERVE. I’m the best damn thing that’s happened to this company. Aiden I’ve never liked you, I’m surprised that you’ve had any success in this company. To be honest man you’re wife is more talented than you.
Roman pauses slightly before continuing.
Roman Reigns: Aiden English, I've heard of you. I know your name. So you should consider yourself very fortunate. I know you built a reputation for yourself by competing at the highest level all around the world. I know that you can be considered damn near a God. You were the biggest name in the whole country... after Roman Reigns. How does it feel, Aiden? To know that everything that you worked so hard for... everything that you did to yourself and your body in the name of entertainment... ended up making you a wannabe Roman Reigns.
Roman stops and takes a deep breath while continuing to stare straight ahead.
Roman Reigns: The fact that you even get to share the ring with me Aiden is the greatest honor that has even been bestowed upon you. You might not see it that way right now but in time you will understand. Whether you want to believe it or not. On the same token of belief... it's going to sound strange... but I respect you, kid. I respect the grind. I respect the drive and the determination to get to the real show known as EBWF. But don't you ever confuse my respect for weakness. I respect you... but I don't sweat you. I didn't have to make the journey that you did to get here because I was just BORN better than you. I'm not knocking you; it's just a simple fact of life. There are those select few that are just better than you are. It was in my blood from the beginning. I was destined for this and you are going to learn real quick that you can't fight fate. Here in EBWF you were the big dog, the Main Event. Some could even say that you were the "Roman Reigns" of EBWF. But that was before, I got here. Now you've made your way into the main event against the TRUE Big Dog of EBWF and you are going to have to stand across the ring and look in the eyes of THE man around here. You'll get to see that first hand.
The anger starts to boil over in the body of Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns: Hey Aiden, I don't give a damn about your family or your friends but they better bow down and THANK ME for making you a household name this Monday on MY show. You should get down on your knees in appreciation of what I'm going to do for your career. When you step in the ring with me, I'm gonna snap you in half like a twig. But I promise you that after I do it the entire wrestling world is going to know your name. You will know the guy that got his ass handed to him by the Big Dog. By the Tribal Chief. By THEE Guy. It's the greatest honor you'll ever have in your entire life. So I'll accept your thanks in advance and you're welcome.
The Head of the Table stares straight into the camera as if he is looking at Aiden English right in the eyes.
Roman Reigns: Is it jealousy Aiden? Maybe it’s because deep down inside you want to be the one who is dropped on the mat and looking up at the Tribal Chief. No matter the reason, there is no need to fret anymore. You are going to get your chance to step in the ring with the Head Of The Table. After it's over and I leave your ass lying in the middle of my ring you can go home and lay in bed and think about how bad you got your ass kicked. I don't give a damn what you do behind closed doors. I don't care who you lie with. When you come to my yard and you don't wipe your feet before you enter, then you have disrespected me and you pay dearly for that mistake. I have nothing against you, Aiden... it's just business. It's MY business and you will NOT take food off of my family's table if I'm still drawing breath. So I'm gonna do what I always do on Monday, I'll show up when I want to, I'll come down to the ring for my match when I feel like it.
The Head of the Table takes a deep breath and exhales harshly.
Roman Reigns: You're good. Damn good. I'm better. I'm stronger than you both mentally and physically. I'm prepared to do whatever I have to do in order to get my point across. Most importantly, I will assault you in ways that you could not even imagine to make you relent and ACKNOWLEDGE me as your better. This isn't some fairy tale where the white knight rides upon his steed and goes into battle with the big bad wolf and when things look its darkest he rises to the challenge and defeats his enemy to bring peace to the world. My kid loves that Disney stuff. This is the real world, Aiden and in the real world... I'M the big bad wolf and you and the rest of this roster as the little sheep that I allow to graze in the pasture until I choose otherwise. I'm staring at you straight in your eyes and I'm telling you, man to man... this fairy tale ends at MY hands.
The camera zooms out to show Roman Reigns who still hasn't moved a muscle staring right at the camera until the scene slowly fades to black.
