00:26Me celebrating, regaining what's rightfully mine, the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:35But instead, none other than Bill Goldberg walked down here, looked me straight into the eye and told me that I am next.
00:51So I did a lot of thinking.
01:00I thought a lot about what it means to be next.
01:04Usually being next means getting speared out of your boots, jackhammer, one, two, three, and wake up looking at the lights.
01:15Bill Goldberg is the most destructive man of his generation.
01:22But it is not 1999 anymore.
01:25It is 2025.
01:28And right now, I'm the guy.
01:31I'm the best professional wrestler in this company.
01:38And the World Heavyweight Championship around my waist proves it.
01:43And I heard what Bill Goldberg had to say, intense as always, but there's nothing he can say that will change my perception about him.
02:00And my perception is that I see a 58 year old one trick pony that can't lace my boots.
02:09So Bill, I want to take the moment now and officially apologize to your wife and to your son for everything that I'm going to do to the man that used to be Goldberg.
02:36I'm unlike anybody you ever stepped in the ring with.
02:42I embarrassed you once.
02:44And at Saturday night's main event, I'm going to embarrass you again because it's my personal responsibility to make sure that the legacy and the myth of Bill Goldberg forever dies.
02:59Wow.
03:00Wow.
03:01Wow.
03:02Wow.
03:03Wow.
03:04Wow.
03:05Now Goldberg, oh, struck a chord with this man.
03:08Dunder is fired up and as intense as I've ever seen him.
03:13Wow.
03:14Wow.
03:15Wow.
03:16Wow.

03:25Wow.
03:26Wow.
03:27Wow, you're getting ready to defend your Intercontinental Championship, but I was hoping that I could get your thoughts on the challenge.
03:32My thoughts, I just witnessed, Bailey and Lyra conspiring to work together.
03:38Because that's the only way that they know they can get this title off me.
03:41So you know what?
