Rollins says he is visionary, he is revolutionary, and he is Seth Frikin Rollins. Rollins says he knows there are still a few people who want to chant the commercial punk name.

Zayn says he has been friends with Rollins for a long time, and as Rollins’ friend, he feels he needs to tell them what he’s doing with Heyman. Rollins then asks Zayn what he means, and Zayn says that one thing that Roman rule and Punk have in common is Heyman. Zayn questions how Rollins is different, as he has a Heyman on his horn, and calls him hypocritical when he tries to protect himself. Rollins then says that Blakeker and Heyman are visions of the future and if you’re not with them, you’re against them. Rollins then says Blakeker, Heyman and Zayn have reached an agreement and Zayn can produce Zayn if necessary. Rollins says it’s not a threat to Zayn, but an offer or a favor. Rollins then tells Zayn to think about it, and he hopes Zayn’s answer by the end of the night.
