Steve Notes SD 4/2/21

Edge promo: This didn’t need to happen, or maybe it did, maybe it was inevitable, maybe I was naive thinking there would be no speedbumps or roadkill, cuz thats what Bruan has done by weaseling his way into my mania match. I figured he’d understand, when I told him he was one of the reasons for my comeback, the idea of teaming with him at Fastlane was exciting, but that wasn’t enough for him. I was so focused on Roman, I didn’t see him coming. If anyone should see an opportunist coming, it’s me. Bryan came up all sorts of scenarios, but after Pearce’s decision, I realized I got outplayed. But I have to thank him, I looked in the mirror and I finally liked what I saw. I saw theguy who when he’s backed in the corner, he comes out fighting, doing whatever has to get done, i looked in the mirror and I saw LIVE SEX SHOW RATED R SUPERSTAR. While we’re here, put up the graphic for our match. WAY TO GO ADAM. I finally woke up, I am a man that Roman aspires to be, Daniel aspires to be, I am a legend, the ultimate opportunist. And last week when I hit you with chairs it felt so good and I was this close to con-chair-to, and it’s gonna happen again and when it does I won’t hesitate.

Kayla Interview With EDGE: Is Jey there tonight to take Bryan out in the street fight?

I don’t feel any sympathy. And if he can’t make it to mania, I don’t feel badly.

Alpha Academy promo: Look at Otis, my number one guy! I have transformed him into a force of nature. I unleashed his inner alpha. We’re peaking at the right time, and when we peak, we peak hard. Next week on Mania Kickoff Smackdown, we’ll win FOR THE ACADEMY.

Veracious Pictures

It’s a mess, there’s one shot of sami staring at garbage bags

Sami says BRAVO! Logan, can I get your thoughts? Logan says, it’s a lot to take in, it’s compelling, BUT when you were in the locker room, KO approached me, and he said he’s known you for 15 years, there’s no conspiracy, you’re delusional, neurotic,

Sami goes off, says you’re MY guest, you’re supposed to be here to help ME- then he calms down a bit, says he doesn’t care what KO thinks, what does Logan Paul think? Paul says he can tell Sami put a lot of effort into it, then KO stuns Sami, says if you keep up with this crap, I’m gonna keep on doing this, then he walks past Paul, pushes him aside.
