I am standing outside of Ford Field just moments before
the biggest party of the summer, SummerSlam,
joined by the Special Counsel to Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman.
Mr. Heyman, I would be foolish to ask you who you think will be victorious tonight
in the Undisputed Universal Championship Tribal Combat Match.
As I know you'd say, it's not a prediction,
it is a spoiler that Roman Reigns will win.
However, Jey Uso has had an incredible amount of momentum not just
being victorious last night on SmackDown over his brother Solo Sikoa.
But if the unthinkable happens and
he dethrones the Tribal Chief tonight,
what does that mean for you?
>> Speaker 2: I appreciate the fact that you're wearing Bloodline colors.
You're a magnificent looking woman, Kathy.
Far too pretty to be asking personal, probing questions like that.
The Ulafala is sacred in
the Samoan culture.
And should Jey Uso defeat
Roman Reigns tonight?
I never thought I'd be in a position in my
life where something was more precious
to me than being the wise man to the Undisputed Champion.
But the centuries, and centuries, and
centuries of culture of the Samoan dynasty
that is represented in the ulafala are all in
danger tonight because of Jey Uso's challenge to Roman Reigns.
So let me be perfectly clear.
There is a part of the Samoan culture that modern day
civilized Samoans don't like to talk about,
it would rather be forgotten in and with history.
Because the savagery that it will take to defend
the rights of possession of this ulafala means that tonight,
Roman Reigns has to be in touch with a dark side
of his soul, with an evil part of his spirit.
Because we all have demons in our past,
don't we, Kathy?
And those demons will come out of your Tribal Chief,
Roman Reigns tonight in defense not only of
the Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Championship,
but in the right, the privilege, the honor,
the blessing of calling himself your Tribal Chief.
[FOREIGN] Heavy hangs the head
that wears the crown.
Heavier hangs the soul that defends the ulafala.
And if that soul happens to be Jey Uso, may God have mercy on your soul.
Because no one else will, certainly not us.
Because we the ones.
