But it's not just about myself.

You know, it's like the scene in The Departed where Leo DiCaprio said to Jack Nicholson, there are a lot of people whose lives depend on the thought that you know what the fuck you're doing.

And there are a lot of people who have placed their careers in my hand.

Tell me something that Logan Paul doesn't have the leverage to negotiate.

Logan Paul chooses to be with Paul Heyman.

Bron Breaker was deemed the future of this industry before he was with Paul Heyman.

If he didn't want to be with Paul Heyman, if he didn't consider that an upgrade from where he was, he wouldn't have to be.

Bronson Reed was smashing people left and right.

Six tsunamis on Seth Rollins, put Seth Rollins out, ascended to the top of the roster from the languishing mid-card and after suffering mid-card mediocrity and took it upon himself to become a top star.

And who has been held back more than Austin Theory?

So you take all of these people, and let alone look at the trials and tribulations that befell Brock Lesnar.

All these people choose to be with Paul Heyman.

There are five people whose careers right now are tied in intricately and passionately and intimately with Paul Heyman.

So I don't look at it selfishly like it's just on behalf of Paul Heyman.

I look at it on behalf of Paul Heyman, on behalf of Brock Lesnar, on behalf of Braun Breaker, on behalf of Logan Paul.

on behalf of Austin Theory, on behalf of Bronson Reed, and on behalf of the WWE audience.

And I'm not going to say the typical corporate WWE universe, but it's the audience, because it's the audience that truly matters the most.

And I look at it on behalf of the audience as well, hoping to stay ahead of the curve enough that I understand not only what they want at this year's WrestleMania, but how will this year's WrestleMania transcend into next year's WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia, and how does that WrestleMania lead to WrestleMania 2028?

How are you?

Without a doubt, there were surprises.
