[APPLAUSE] >> Kevin Owens,
I'd like to introduce you to my legal team, and, again,
we've been going over, in my view,
your frivolous wrongful termination lawsuit, ad nauseam, I may add.
And quite frankly, we've come up with a couple of things.
I have a proposition for you.
Option one, Kevin.
Option one is with my vast resources, I keep you in court for years.
I make you spend millions of dollars probably out of your own pocket and
also out a job.
That's not good for you.
It's appeal, after appeal, after appeal.
It's also not good for your family.
Or, or we go with option two.
>> What's option two, buddy?
>> Okay, okay, okay, now we're playing ball here.
I like this.
Option two, Kevin, is that you drop this ridiculous law suit.
Just drop it dead, and I will personally reinstate you on the spot and,
also, correct me if I'm wrong, also,
we'll drop the $100,000 fine that I put on you.
I'll give it back to you.
So it's clear, you got two options.
It's clear what the smart choice is.
Let's start, Kevin, in my view, with a clean slate.
>> [NOISE] >> You're a real idiot, you know that?
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Shane, you don't get it.
This lawsuit stuff,
the thought of the courtroom and the lawyers, it actually makes me sick.
In fact, the only thing that makes me sicker is the thought of you back
there in our locker room, because you don't belong there.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> I can't stand the thought of
ever being in the same locker room as you, and
that is what this lawsuit has always been about.
It's not about money.
It's about gaining leverage over you and
ultimately getting what I've wanted since the beginning of this entire thing.
Really honestly what everyone has wanted for so long, and
that is to see your ass get fired.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> So what are you proposing, Kevin?
Let's hurry up.
>> You want my decision?
How about we settle this the best way I know how?
You and I, one final match.
You win, you get what you want.
I drop the lawsuit, I stay fired, and you never see me again.
But I win, you're gone from WWE.
>> What's the catch?
What's the catch, Kevin?
>> There's no catch.
But the only thing is I don't want this to be a regular match.
No, I think we need a match that gives me the chance to hurt you as badly as I've
wanted to hurt you these past few weeks.
And I want you to have the same opportunity when it comes to me.
This situation has been hanging over my head for so long.
And for years, we have all heard you and
your family talk about climbing the corporate ladder, right?
So why don't we do this?
Let's have your fancy little lawyers write the documents up.
Let's put them in that briefcase.
And let's literary hang the fate of our careers over our heads, and
let's have ourselves a ladder match!
