He says he will always be loyal to his Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. He says he will always be loyal to his best friend, CM Punk. He says because he's loyal to both of them doesn't mean he will be disloyal to either of them so when it comes to WrestleMania he wants to get one thing perfectly clear and Seth Rollins interrupts him. Rollins gets on the mic and says tonight it's not about him but about Paul Heyman. He says he's here to ask the one question everyone wants the answer to and asks Heyman whose side he is on... CM Punk's side or Roman Reigns'? He says Heyman is trying to convince everyone and himself that he can be on both of their sides but last week Rollins realized he's on neither side. Rollins says Reigns doesn't give a damn about Heyman and is just using him. He tells Heyman is like his help and that's how Reigns sees him and doesn't respect him.

He says we watched The New Bloodline treat Heyman like crap and Reigns never came to his rescue. He then brings up CM Punk and how Heyman and Punk are "best friends". He talks about when Punk left he didn't take Heyman and tried to tear down everything Heyman was trying to make happen here. Rollins talks about how he was the first choice to team with Reigns at War Games and how Punk was the last choice. He tells Heyman he didn't join the team to help his best friend but did it to get a favour out of his best friend. He says he feels bad for Heyman and that he's between a rock and hard place and the easiest solution is if he removes himself from the situation entirely. Rollins says he understands Heyman doesn't want to turn his back on his best friend and Tribal Chief - and if only there was a way to remove him from this situation and says he can remove Heyman from this with one big stomp and no one is here to save him.
