He loves to see a scumbag, piece of trash, and embarrassment get eliminated by that idiot Logan Paul. He mentions Roman Reigns. He says you ain't gonna like this. He lost at the Royal Rumble and might not make it to Wrestlemania at all.
You have been getting a lot of vague updates. He says Roman is hurt. He don't want to admit it. Paul won't tell the truth. WWE won't tell the truth. Seth says he will tell the truth becuase he hurt Roman. He says he wasn't wrong. For the last four year, Roman has hurt those close to him. Roman would have done the same thing to him if he had the chance. Roman and Paul love to talk about the limited schedule and Seth says he did them a favor.
Seth says he saved the best for last. Seth Rollins. He lost at the Royal Rumble. He says that hurts. Luckily that is in the past and there is a future that lies ahead. There are many different paths to Wrestlemania. His goes through Elimination Chamber. He has a qualifying match in a few weeks against Finn Balor and he is going to take care of that business. There is someone who needs to take care of his business and that man is Sami Zayn. If you could come out here a few minutes early so he can bend his ear.

Seth tells Sami he is his guy. They go back a long way so he knows that Sami will be at his best. Seth says it has been a tough month and a few tough months for them. Sami's immediate future is CM Punk. Seth says the world knows he hates CM Punk. We are two different people. Seth says he knows how much Sami hates CM Punk too. You put on a good face but tonight is not the night for a good face. This is the fight of your life. After what Punk said to you two weeks ago. He said you weren't on his level. This delusional narcissist said you weren't on his level? You are a Wrestlemania main eventer and a good person.
You are levels above CM Punk. Tonight is your night. He says he needs the best out of Sami Zayn to keep Punk out of the Elimination Chamber. You deserve to be in the Chamber. People like Punk who don't care about the people doesn't deserve to be in the ring with you. Put his Wrestlemania dream in the dirt.
As Seth prepares to go up the aisle, CM Punk's music plays and he takes off his long jacket and he goes after Punk. Officials have to separate them.
