00:01

Speaker A

Sammy, do you know what you are? You are exhausting. You are exhausting. Every interaction we've had backstage, you've been like a mosquito sucking the blood from me.

00:21

Speaker A

What are you expecting? Me just to keel over and hand you the WWE Championship?

00:26

Speaker A

That's not how this works. You know something that I can't wrap my head around?

00:31

Speaker A

The fact that you are best friends with Kevin Owens. (Audience gasps) Oh no, let's go there, right?

00:38

Speaker A

That you're best friends with Kevin Owens, because there are two main differences I see with you and him.

00:45

Speaker A

One, Kevin Owens would've come out here, said what he meant, and stabbed me in the front, not the back.

00:52

Speaker A

And the other, at least Kevin Owens has been WWE Champion. (Audience gasps) I'm going to say this once and only once, you keep Kevin Owens' name outta your damn mouth!

01:15

Speaker A

(Audience cheers and gasps) And you wanna go low, Cody? Okay, let's go low. Let's be clear about something.

01:22

Speaker A

If it wasn't for me, Gunther would be WWE Champion right now. The only reason you are WWE Champion instead of chastising me, you should be down on your hands and knees thanking me.

01:39

Speaker A

(Audience cheers and gasps) The only reason you are WWE Champion right now is because of me, and after "Night of Champions," the reason you will no longer be WWE Champion will also be because of me.

01:54

Speaker A

(Audience cheering)
