Steve Notes SD 3/12/21

Edge opens SD

Big contract signing tonight, but I need to address things- Roman you said a man like me shouldn’t face a man like you. Family man, got kids, whatever lame excuse. It’s amusing. You and paul are great spin doctors. For weeks you said acknowledge me. So I made my choice. You. Then you turned around and went on Daniel Bryan Blvd., you got played. Then Daniel, you said you deserve to be in the main event more than I did cuz you wrestle a lot. While you were wrestling once a week, I was here wrestling 7 times a week against legends over 4 decades. And I’m back here cuz I love this not cuz I have to be.

Bryan comes out, says YOU got sucked in, that wasn’t my intention, allow me to set the record straight. I have INFINITE respect for you. I see how much you love this, how hard you fought to get back to it. But let me be honest. When I wanted to challenge Roman, it wasn’t about you. I lay on the mat, watching you point at the sign, I was demoralized. Because I allowed myself to go into what may be my last mania on the back burner. So I laid if all out there. You got your spot. This isnt about you. If I want to main event mania, I have to win the universal title, and that is why I went into business for myself.

Edge: Maybe I need to make myself clear. Roman beat you. I won the Rumble. I like you, I don’t like how you did this. You’re better than this. But you’re not better than me.

Hall of Fame Molly Holly

Paul won’t let Jey see Roman, says he’s mad about tapping out

Seth Rollins interview, amazing turtleneck/Plaid green coat

Kayla reminds him of the big swing

Why are we still talking about? I went out there to help him. He has all the potential, he’s never been a leading man. I went to help him, I was embarrassed, disrespected. He is the biggest waste of potential in the wwe.

He has a rematch in wwe against Murphy tonight: Seth says rematch? Hmm.

Nia and Shayna take Reginald to a men’s boutique

Sami stops KO backstage with his doc crew, Sami says you know WWE has been conspiring against me, I want you to be part of the documentary. KO humors him, says he’ll think about it

Edge tries to reason with Jey backstage, Jey has none of it.

Kevin Owens KO show, he says he’s just gonna keep fighting, but tonight is about his two guests

You two are gonna make history at Mania when you wrestle each other for that title, but at Fastlane, you could walk into Mania as the womens tag champs. HBK and Cena did it too. But to do that, you have to beat Nia and Shayna at Fastlane, which you couldn’t do before. I think there’s some underlying tension. You’re out here to prove that you’re the best. Maybe something between Sasha and Reginald.

Sasha says I can’t help I look this good- Bianca says he’s becoming a problem for you and our match.

They jaw back and forth, Sasha heels it up a bit, Nia and Shayna interrupt. They sit for commentary as we go to

As I laid up in a medical facility because of you, Apollo and those steps, I had plenty of time to think, and I hope that you know what you did because you crossed the rubicon, you opened pandora’s box, there’s no coming back, there’s no sorry for this, you can’t put the genie back in the bottle cuz you apollo, you made me go biblical, I gotta go old testament on you cuz now it’s eye for an eye, you take one of mine I take two of yours. You come to hurt me, I come to maim you. Once you step n my lawn, I bulldoze your house. Pinning you now, that’s not enough. Now I gotta end you. You want whats mine. Good, because now I’m ready to give it to you. Exactly what you deserve. We don’t need to wait, right here right now tonight, bring your behind down to me and get this opportunity. He waits a bit, you want this? Come get it now!

Nothing happens, he says I’m not surprised, if you’re not gonna get yours, I’ll extend an open challenge to whomever wants it, come get it.

Corbin answers with a suit on. If you’re gonna open a challenge, I’m not dressed to fight, but I have no problem tearing off this $10,000 suit, or putting some scratches- Sami says I ACCEPT!!! Baron says I was out here accepting!! No, you snooze you lose, challenge accepted.

Big E: YOU FOOLS. Whoever getds in the ring fist, you get the match. Sami BOLTS. While he jaws at Corbin, Big E attacks.

Contract Signing Time!

Pearce moderates. ROman looks annoyed by Bryan’s YESing, then gets irritated at Pearce not pulling him a chair at the head of the table.

Roman: You did everything you were supposed to do. A few weeks I was feeling this, so I agreed. This week, I’m not feeling it. So no.

Bryan says who woulda thought Roman isn’t a man of his word. For years, a lot of people thought I was better than you. But you never thought that, but I proved it, I did something you could never do, I made Jey Uso QUIT. Does that stick in craw? Maybe I’m the head of the table now! HEAD OF THE TABLE DANIEL BRYAN!!! Roman gets pissed, signs.

Bryan: Im gonna tap you out just like I tapped out Jey Uso.

Jey grabs the mic, says enough of the disrespect. This needs a guest enforcer, and that person is me! Edge comes out. That sounds like a great idea Jey! How about next week I have a one on one match against YOU, winner gets to be guest enforcer. Pearce makes the match, a brawl breaks out. Daniel takes out Jey, goes after Roman, Edge throws him off, gets rid of roman, eats KNEE PLUS.
