I said, I am not gonna let you all stress me out.
I said, I am gonna give it to the Lord.
I said, Jesus, take the wheel.
Jesus guide my hand, because I will not let you people and
I don't mean you people, but I will not let the system break my spirit.
I will not let this machine take from me what is true and real.
And beloved, I see a skinny man in the back raising his hands,
because he feels what I'm saying.
Skinny man, thank you, that's skinny Nicky.
Social media Nicky, follow him on all the platforms and what not.
But I said I'm gonna just inhale and exhale.
I've been doing a lot of guided meditation.
Paul and Headspace has been very helpful in my life.
And I said, I'm not gonna let you people, that this place stress me out.
I'm not gonna let you take my peace.
You're tryna snatch my peace from me.
And I worked too hard to get my mind right, to settle my mind.
And I won't have it so, I'm just gonna inhale and exhale and
then I move on, we'll regroup, but not the best day for your boy.
>> Paul, you're just kind of looking at, I'm just watching you watch him.
>> [APPLAUSE] It's about damn time,
that this Big E came to the surface.
This is the Big E we've all been waiting for you.
And when I say we all, I mean every single member of this production, crew, food and
skinny nephew, Kayla and all their contemporaries on the announcing staff.
And remember that locker room,
Roman Reigns himself and I,
have all been waiting for this Big E,
because this is the Big E, one day.
This is the Big E, Kofi and Xavier brag about even knowing and
I mean no disrespect towards Kofi and Xavier,
you know how much I respect and admire them.
But truth be told, sir, the muscle,
the muscle behind the new day, is always Big E.
And now you have a champion in your sights.
Which means you have a championship in your sights.
And Sammy, is the best first step in that direction for
you because believe me, sir, when I tell you a champion
is only as great as the challenges that he puts down.
This Big E, a focused Big E,
a singles championship minded Big E,
has so much potential,
that 10 years from now,
as your story is being written.
They will all say, that the accomplishments that you
did with the new day, pale by respectful comparison,
to the accomplishments that you will pull off on your own.
And I say that to you with the following per visa.
What you're gonna accomplish in the next 10 years will be mind boggling, sir.
And I'm looking forward to seeing it as is everybody else,
but you have to accept in your heart that the new day will
only be a footnote, in the story of the greatness of Big E.
And if I may prove my case to you, I ask you a rhetorical question.
When was the last time you saw Roman Reigns in the ring and
anybody even bothered to mention the shift?
