 that you think you can take this from me? What you created? I mean, what if the rock decides to return and goes up against you? I mean, I add that. Oh, wait a minute, what's going on here? What's good, y'all? It's your boy Ross Brackett again with another video. So we're going to check out Roman Reigns, a head of WWE SummerSlam at ESPN's first take. They announced he was going to be on first take on Monday Night Raw. So I want to see what he has to say. Paul Heyman, Roman Reigns, go to first take to, you know, talk about the upcoming match where Roman's upcoming match with Jey Uso at this year's SummerSlam. It's going to be very interesting to see what was said and what he brought to first take this morning. So I definitely wanted to get this video out for you guys as soon as possible. Appreciate all of the support you guys shown on the channel. Link to the original video will be down below. We're going to get right into this one, man. Acknowledge him, he's the longest reigning WWE Universal Champion and his fourth reign as the champ. Wait, wait, wait, wait, it's the way he came in. It's the way they slid the curtain back. They got the spotlight already there. Look at him. Acknowledge him, he's the WWE Universal Champion and his fourth reign as the champ. He is one of the best wrestlers of all time. Also, the leader of the bloodline this Saturday night will be taking on his cousin, Jey Uso, for the undisputed WWE Universal title and status as the tribal chief at SummerSlam in Detroit. We welcome into the show Roman Reigns and his wise man, Paul Heyman. I have to get up here. I have to get up here. Let me pull out this chair for the wise man, right? Help the wise man, there you go. How are you, sir? Please. It is an honor. Acknowledge your tribal chief. Yes, sir. I didn't stop it. He said, please acknowledge your tribal chief first. Don't acknowledge me. Acknowledge him. To do this, I had to do this. Here's how are you, Molly? You got a hug? Oh, are you good to be here? Yes, I did. You got a hug from the tribal chief. That's what you're talking about. Stop. Belle Paul. You got a hug. You got a hug from the tribal chief. That's very special. You need to really embrace that. It's a touching moment for me. It's a touching moment for me. That's what we do. And he hits me. That's right. That's right. OK, let's get this together. All right, gentlemen, can we get into this? Because I've got a lot of questions for you. Grab a seat, sir. Well, then tell me this. Family business is a different deal. You got you. That's right. So what's on the line for your family? All this gold, just sitting on the table, bro. All of it just sitting on the table. Not only on my team, the Unspeedy Universal Championship does look good under the lights. I just once again, I just really wish they would have gave him a different design because that's, you know, he merged both the belts essentially. So I wish they would have gave him a little bit of the different design. I do like the gold back plate on the behind the WWE. You see, I just think it deserves a little bit of a switch up from the other belts. But it does look good under the lights. I will say that. Family for your bloodline this Saturday. Well, this Saturday, it's it's a lot like every other championship defense. This will be on the line. But what makes this so special in tribal combat is the title of the tribal chief will be on the line as well, the leadership of our family. That this isn't the right kind of table, but the head of the table will be up for grabs. So this will define the future of our family, our legacy and our bloodline. What does it mean that you to headline one of the biggest events of the year? I mean, at this stage and point in your career, being the headline and being the star, being the marquee attraction, what does that mean to you at this point in your career? It's just another opportunity to kind of push that gap between me and everybody else. This is something I've been doing for a long time. What makes it so special lately is the fact that I have my entire family surrounding me to be able to bring everybody up, to lift everybody up to a new level. I think that's what makes it so special. Molly, can I switch gears? Yeah. Can I switch gears? This man right here, the great Paul Heyman. I mean, there's very few people that have a job, that have a career that I look at, I go like this, I wish I had that. I wish I had that. That is how I look at you, sir. How do you view yourself, Wiseman, a phenomenal personality in the sport of the WWE? I mean, what is it like to be you? I'm the goat. I served as manager for record six world champions and he said he's the goat. He called himself the goat. I don't think anyone can refute. He's one of the greatest managers of all time. One of the greatest talkers of all time. One of the greatest wrestling minds for the wrestling business of all time. Simple. I mean, I can't even refute what he just said. He is the goat. I'm the greatest of all time. Really? Yeah, undisputed. Undisputed? I mean, there was Bobby the brain, he in the back room. Screw him, he's dead. Oh, what? And Jimmy Hart's still alive, which proves that God doesn't answer my prayers. Oh, my Lord. Wow. Do you want to prove to you that I'm the goat? He's different. He says screw him, he's dead. Other guy, he's alive. It proves God doesn't answer my prayers. Oh my God, damn. Go. Okay, please. I'm with him. Okay. He's settled for anything less than the goat. He's the tribal chief. He's the biggest box office attraction in the history, not only of sports or entertainment, but of sports entertainment. He has smashed every box office record that WWE has ever had, not just domestically, but all over the world on a global basis. And he's done it in Saudi Arabia. He's done it in the UK. He's done it in Mexico. He's done it in Canada. He's done it here in the United States. He continues to do it on SmackDown every Friday night, just topping the previous Friday nights. Oh yeah, nah. He's bringing in numbers to SmackDown, bro. That's why they want him on fucking Fox, is there's no question about it. They want him exclusively on Fox because he does bring ratings. I don't, you may not like him, but he brings ratings. He's the draw. There's no denying Roman Reigns is the draw. Simple as that. But he's settled for anything less than the absolute best. That is a tough argument to make, but I don't like to talk about it. I'm homeboy, you know? I don't like to say all that. But listen, the point is this, he does make a very good point, but I'm homeboy. I would like to remind you, sir, at least in America, let's take into account the greats of the past and the box office attractions, the Hulk Hogan's of the world, the Rockies family, of course, Goldberg and people like that. And I mean, you've had your experiences and you've had fighters who have fallen to such individuals. This man right here, you talk about what makes him special as a marquee attraction. What makes, I'm sorry, as a fighter, as a wrestler, what makes him great as a marquee attraction? What are the elements that make him who he is? Roman Reigns? That's right. He's completely redefined the industry. Explain. He's in a different genre than anybody else is. And by the way, we do acknowledge the past. Shall I do it for you, sir? Yes, please. Uh-oh. See this faddle right here? Yes. WWE Championship. He said, can I hold it? I want to do the same thing, bro. Go ahead. WWE Champion. I'm a little aggressive, I'm a little aggressive. I'm a little thirsty. Passion. Yeah. Bruno San Martino. Yes. Superstar Billy Graham. That's right. Bob Backland. OK. Triple H. Shawn Michaels. Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Rock. John Cena. Brock Lesnar. Go down the list. Brock Lesnar. Roman Reigns. OK. See this one right here? Yes, sir. I'm looking at it. I'm looking at it. Universal Heavyweight Championship. OK. OK. It was a created championship. Did not have the lineage of San Martino, Morales, Superstar Billy Graham, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, John Cena, Brock Lesnar. Names go down the list. A created championship. 500 days held by Brock Lesnar. Started to get a little prestige. Never in the class of the WWE Championship. Roman Reigns becomes the Universal Heavyweight Champion. Tell him, Paul. And everybody forgets about the WWE title. And this becomes the title in WWE. You know, I'll hold you. He does have a point there. When Roman just only had the Universal Championship for the first time in even when Brock had it, obviously it felt like the top championship because Brock had it. But we didn't really see Brock with it much. So the WWE Championship was still something that in a lot of people's eyes and a lot of fans' eyes, it was still the top championship because we saw it, boy. When Roman was defending this during the pandemic era and on consistently, this, for the first time in my personal opinion, in its lineage, it felt like the top championship. It felt bigger than the WWE Championship only because, one, we finally got the Roman Reigns. We always wanted. Two, he was putting on some great fantastic matches. Three, the Reign actually meant something. It meant it was important. And the blueberry belt became the most prestigious belt in the company. That's just my personal take on it. It became that way because of the guy that was holding it, because of the matches, because of the views that we were having. And it was what the fans finally wanted to see. Of course, some people got tired of it, but, you know, tired of him beating some of their favorites. By the end of the day, there's no denying what Paul is saying right there. It does have some type of weight to it. Roman Reigns has made that blueberry belt, the Universal Championship, actually seen that more important than the WWE Championship, which is crazy to say. Even though I still love the WWE Championship more because of the lineage, obviously. I wish they should retire the Universal Championship because no one's ever gonna test that reign. No one's ever gonna get it to that prestige ever again. I think they need to retire it. I would be all for it. Hopefully, it happens whenever he does drop the belt. They can retire the Universal Championship because it's done. There's no one's gonna touch that. They need to retire it. This becomes the premier attraction. This becomes the Super Bowl ring. This becomes what Tom Brady is after and we don't have to give half to the Giselle's attorneys. This is what the title becomes in WWE. Roman Reigns looks over and he says, wow, I want them both. I'm the Tribal Chief. I want the history and I want the future. What does he do? He merges the two championships. Okay. WWE is doing record-setting business right now. Yes, they are. Big time. Thank you, my Tribal Chief. You're welcome, Mark. He said you're welcome. They are doing some record-breaking numbers. Just so we were quick, that's my baby right there. That's your baby right there. I did that. Okay. I made that what it is. Yeah. And then I took that. Yeah. And made it what it is. Now we have this. Is there anybody that you think you can take this from me? What you created? I mean, what if The Rock decides to return and goes up against you? I mean, I add that. Oh, wait a minute. What's going on here? Something gotta happen at Summer Slam, bro. I can't fucking wait. What are y'all doing? What's happening here? That could be a possibility. I think it could be a possibility. Is there anybody that you can foresee taking all of this from you one day, Mr. Roman Reigns? We don't see it. No, I mean, that's what this past year, year and a half has been, is containers. Hold on, we gotta go back because he didn't really say nothing about it, though. It could be a possibility. I think it could be a possibility that you think you can take this from me. Listen to this. What you created? I mean, what if The Rock decides to return and goes up against you? I mean, that could be a possibility. I think it could be a possibility. Is there anybody that you can foresee taking all of this from you one day, Mr. Roman Reigns? Maybe. I mean, that's what this past year, year and a half has been, is containers from everywhere. Brock Lesnar, John Cena, they come from Hollywood, they come from other sports. Logan Paul, doesn't matter. Doesn't matter anymore. I think you did say you were a bit humble just a second ago. You left that to him. I'm the business side. I like him to throw out the metrics, the stats, all that, you know, the analytics side, but you know, I'd like to keep it. Is there more on the line? Because you're facing your cousin. Of course, always. I mean, in a perfect world, he's by my side, making sure that nothing changes. We continue to rule this world, but he's selfish. Like anybody, any family member, any friend that you help out. I like what he's doing here. It goes to their head a little bit. They get a sense for a level that they're not quite used to. They want it, they covet it. I like what he's doing here. And now he's trying to make his. But that's not the way it's set up. Like I said, I'm the head of the table. I'm the leadership around here. I have the vision. I know what needs to be done. And like he said. Well, one could ask, who are you leading? Because again, you're the head of the table, but in the same breath, you got family members going up against you. Usually family members, you know, they stick together and what have you. Your family members are not necessarily sticking together. They're trying to take what you have. How do you feel about that? That's the worst part of this whole thing. I'm just trying to help. As a, you know, as a family man. Bro, he is selling this. This is man. I don't know why we didn't get this years ago. Maybe it took time for him to become this person to see who he really is. But he is selling this. Cause he's like, he's coming up there. And I'm just, I'm just a family man. I'm just trying to help people out. He comes off like he's the victim in this situation when he's really not. And I love that, bro. He is man. This is good. His cousin is trying to help them. He's trying to lift them up. Trying to, trying to get them to the next level. But beating them up. I mean, that's what's going, that's what you're expecting to do this weekend, right? I mean, how are you helping them? If you. You think my family delivers the mail? You think we're part of, you know, the ballet or something? No, we run the world of professional wrestling and sports entertainment. Sometimes you got to have a little tough love. We're not dealing, we're dealing with bees now. Billions. This is a huge industry. A major business decisions happen every single week. If they're not up to par, then they need to get smacked around a little bit. That's the way I look at it. I mean, I mean, there are very, very few people on the planet Earth that can talk as much as trash as you. I mean, you can really get at people. When you look at the WWE right now, I mean, is there anybody that stands out above the crowd? I mean, not just now, but in the history. Who are the best trash talkers in your estimation? Vince McMahon behind the scenes. Oh, for sure. Oh, he, he, he said that quickly. I believe everything he just said. Vince McMahon behind the scenes. I know he talks his trash. I know he do. I know he do. And that's how sometimes certain things we see on TV happen. Certain things happen. For example, when Guter came from NXT, well, would they saw him in NXT or whatever? Or not, well, when he came from NXT UK, or what, now Vince was like, nah, bro, you need to lose weight before we do anything which you're getting to the main roster. And that's exactly what he did. Oh, that Kuta guy, he looks vicious, but he's a little too flabby for me. Oh, no, if he wants to be on my roster, he's gonna have to lose that weight, pal. Hey, Kuta, lose that weight, pal. Guess what? He lost the weight. And I know he was talking shit backstage. I know he was. That's Vince. Oh, he's all, what? Even now, he's, what? Oh, my God. Him? That's me, really? Yes. Really? Chairman of the board. Yeah, chairman of the board. And also he controls the paychecks. That's right. Yeah, so you're giving that tip. So he talks more trash than you. If he wants to, he's paying the paychecks. That's true, that's true. He starts talking trash. What wrestler? I'd say myself. Because I don't need just the microphone. I'd do it mid-match. Yup. I'll take it back to the gridiron, like we're on the football field. Like we're in between snaps and I'm sitting there chirping at the office. And I love what they've done with Roman, because Roman didn't, he used to talk, but he doesn't do it as much now, back then as he does now. Now, since he became a heel, that's one of my favorite parts of his matches. He's talking trash to the camera as he's beating up his opponent. Right, bro, I do this all day. I do this all day, bro. Bro, you ain't ready for me. It's alignment. So to me, that's a part of the revolution, you know, me changing this business, is putting different touches, showing different sides and shades of this business. What could I do? You know, I usually don't find myself aspiring for something. But what could I do to be a wiser? What could I do to be a pulling? You can't. You can't? No. I have no chance. You're telling me I have no chance? I mean, I can make you an honorary rabbi? There is a process with a moll that's involved that we could talk about another time. But I never called myself the wise man. I'm special counsel to the tribal chief. This honor, this lifelong honor was bestowed upon me by the tribal chief, Roman Reigns. I wouldn't dare call myself a wise man. So the only way I'd have an opportunity to pull over is if you recognize and acknowledge by the tribal chief. I recognize the tribal chief. It's like the king or the queen knighting you. Unless I find somebody else that I think can take them out and I represent them. How about that? What? Get man enough to make the move. We have to go to commercial. What? What? Go to commercial. How about that? Get man enough to make the move. We have to go to commercial. Go to commercial. Go to commercial right now. I need time to come back from that. I think Roman's marinating on what you had to say as well. I think he might have more to say. That was great, man. That was fun, bro. I'm looking forward to SummerSlam. I do think there's going to be something interesting that's going to happen. I cannot fucking wait. SummerSlam is looking to be a fantastic show. Jay versus Roman Reigns going to be a fantastic match. I know they're going to knock it out the park. Very interested to see what's going to happen on this episode of SmackDown, the Go Home Show. I do think it's going to be better than what we saw for the Go Home Show for Monday Night Raw, man. But comment down below and let me know, man. Did you guys enjoy the first take interview that they had today with Roman Reigns and Paul Hammon? Obviously, I'm not going to check out the whole thing because copyright reasons. But if you was able to check out the whole thing, let me know what you thought about it as well, man. But I appreciate all of this, boy. You guys showing on channel Road to 150K. And I'm still here to speak to you guys in the world. Appreciate talking to you and we'll see you in the next one. Peace.
