“Y’all do the math every WrestleMania? With WWE and TKO and all, you can do the math? That’s a lot of money. That’s a bunch of, bunch of money. And guess whose face was on it leading that? I didn’t make this up. Y’all did. I’ve seen the same flyer you all did. Roman Reigns. Bloodline member. Jey Uso. Bloodline member. Trinity Fatu. Bloodline member. That’s all I’m saying. Let’s not make stories about bullsh**. If you’re done with it, say it. You want to move on, say it. But damn it, I’ll be damned if I sit back and let you erase the history of our family of what we put into this business. Give us our flowers. We’re taking it. That’s one thing that boils Kishi’s blood up, it’s when you start to disrespect the family.”
