We take a look at Naomi.
She says her glow isn't just a look, it is a reminder that in all of us, there is a light. We are beautiful and powerful and can change the world, just by being in it. She says she wants to be a living reminder that we don't have to live life the way we are told. We will not be pushed around by the fear in our mind, but in the dream in our hearts. She says she does the impossible. She says she changes the environment around her.
Paul Heyman is in the ring and he says he wanted to come out here before Monday to set the record straight and do it on the record. On Monday, we are going to find out one thing, who is the real tribal chief? Paul says let's be transparent. Roman and him trained Solo to become the next in line. They taught Solo how to become the Tribal Chief. They trained and prepped Solo for the time in the future, the future, when Roman was ready to step down as the head of the table, the head of the family, and the head of the WWE. Then Solo would be tribal chief.
After ten years of lusting for revenge against Seth Rollins, he could not turn down that lust and that revenge on Seth Rollins gave Cody the chance to get that three count on Roman Reigns.
That is where Solo seized the moment. That is where Solo stole the ula fala from Roman's bag. That twisted son of a bitch did not earn that ula fala, he stole it from Roman Reigns. He got rid of Jimmy Uso, he got rid of the wise man. No sane man would acknowledge Solo. Solo got his band of these filthy animals who don't belong in professional wrestling. Tama Tonga, not welcome in the US. Tonga Loa not welcome in the US. Jacob Fatu, not welcome outside the US prison system. Solo got these men because none of them were going to acknowledge Solo.
Monday, live on Netflix, Tribal Combat. No rules other than there must be a winner and there must be a loser. The winner of the match will be your Tribal Chief, the only tribal chief, Roman Reigns.
Before Paul can leave the ring, Solo Sikoa's music plays and he comes to the ring
Solo stands in the middle of the ring and Paul says he is about ten seconds from pissing his pants. Why? Because the last time they did this, when he said you weren't his tribal chief, you put him through a table in front of his children at MSG. If he blinks wrong, Tama and Fatu will come out and the same thing will happen tonight.
Solo holds out his hand for the microphone and Paul reluctantly drops it in Solo's hand.
Solo tells Phoenix to acknowledge him.
Solo says it is finally time for Paul to acknowledge the truth. You owe CM Punk a favor. How about Solo owe Paul a favor. He says he needs someone to hold the ula fala during the Tribal Combat match. Someone he can trust and someone who loves his family and won't disrespect his family or the ula fala.
Solo says if Roman beats him on Monday, Solo says Paul will put the ula fala around his neck and Solo says he will acknowledge Roman as the tribal chief. Solo says when he beats Roman, and he will, because everyone knows it. You will put the ula fala around his neck and everyone will know that he owns this and he owns you. He says Paul will be his wise man forever. Then Roman will have no choice but to finally acknowledge him.
Solo gives the mic back to Paul.
Paul puts the mic on the mat and leaves the ring.
