-Where should I put this thing? -You can put it... -Right front and center? -Here, yes. Front and center. I mean... -What's that look like? -You know, it's crazy. The last time you were on the

show

, you were on your way to WrestleMania. And I told him, "Next time you come on my

show

, you're going to have two belts." -Oh! -Well... You do have two belts. -Come on. Come now. -He also predicts the future. -Yes, I predict the future. Oh my God. He just feels great, even just holding that thing. -I know. -Yeah. -He just looks good there. -It seems...

I'll leave it here for the rest of... -Everyone, take a photo. -Yes, look... Yes. -When you were a child and you even dreamed about wrestling, did you ever think you would become so big? - I have always had great faith and confidence that I was something... I was going to be something. But you don't really know what that thing is and you don't really know how far it's going to go. So from the beginning I just wanted to be a soccer player. Know? -Yeah. -Watching the Super Bowl, imagining myself... you know, "I'm going to Disney World!" -- you know and that moment. -Yes sure Yes. -Know? -And then I got into WrestleMania and I thought that's exactly what it's going to feel like, you know? -You get there, but you don't expect to win and be champion. -And be a double champion too. -Not quite. -Yes Yes. -And then you are making history. -Thank you.

Yes. -Speaking of WrestleMania, the Royal Rumble is tomorrow, okay? But that begins the road to WrestleMania. -That's how it is. -And the fans... there is a lot of speculation on social networks, on Twitter, on everything, saying, maybe a possibility of Roman Reigns versus The Rock? -Ah. -That's been, you know, the

rumors

, and there's been a big fuss about it for a long time, I mean, years, for years. But it's really increased in the last two years. I think he just made a statement saying that he won't be, you know, ready on time, which... that's the face that, you know, everyone's making.

Like, wait, wait. Train every day. -Yes, that guy is ready to... -Everyone... Yes, yes. -That guy is willing to do anything. -It's huge! -Yes, exactly. He's... But for his defense, it's one thing to do weight training and, you know, bodybuilding to look the part, but to be able to get in the ring and do a main event fight, a championship fight, a Universal, you know, a match for the WWE Undisputed Championship, requires a lot of conditioning. Hit your body. Therefore, it involves a lot more than just training in the weight room. -It is a different way of exercising. -It's three hundred and...

It's a professional athlete type situation, where you have to condition yourself, you have to... you know, he does two of the three things perfectly. His nutrition and weight training are on point. But you have to condition yourself. And you have to be prepared to fall. You know, that's... You never escape that. -Especially if you face Roman Reigns. -Oh. - Yes Yes. -That's number one, Dwayne. -Yeah. -When you face Roman Reigns, you better prepare to fall. -Yeah. Who else is in the mix? -Well, that's the good thing about this now, is that we have a lot of things to do.
Right now, we have Sami Zayn who's in the mix, and within my Bloodline, we've been making beautiful television for the last six months. We have another guy named Cody Rhodes coming back from injury. He was super hot. If you go back to... I think it was a Hell in a Cell match that he had with Seth Rollins, his pectoral muscle was completely torn, like in half. So if you go back and look, he's completely black and... a giant bruise covers this guy. A quarter of his body is completely broken, and he goes out and does a 40-minute performance and completely wins over our entire fan base.
So, a lot of guts and a lot of courage on his part. And he too will be back soon. -You were telling me something backstage. You said: -Would I hit them all? Yes, that's... -No, no, you said that too, yes. But I was saying, I was talking about, what if I was a WWE superstar, what would my move be or whatever, you know? People probably do this. But then you said, "You have to light the fire. You have to..." What is a fire? -Well, you have to have passion, right? You know what I mean? We can't just...
As a WWE Superstar, you can't just punch a guy and sit there stoically... you know what I mean? You have to have some emotion. You have to be able to emit energy, and that's what we do. -Yeah. -You have to be able to shoot. You have to be able to lose it, you know... I don't want to start cursing here, but you have to be able to lose it, you know? -You have to lose your... But do you say something when you do it, or do you just... -Whatever? It's funny, because nowadays the default turn-on phrase is, "Let's go!" You hear it all the time. "Come on!
Let's..." They always do the same thing, right? -Yeah. "Come on." -Yeah. "Come on." -But I could... But maybe I could get over... I think I could get over: "Come on!" -I think we can do better than that. I think we have enough creative energy here to do better than that. What do you have? - What if... because I was saying that I was like... my villain, probably the biggest thing I struggle with is... hosting a show is sleeping... people fall asleep? -Sleepy people. -Yeah. -So what if my slogan was "Wake up"? -Now we are talking. -Good? -Human caffeine right here. -Where I am?
Where I am? Where do I look? -I think about the pipe. You have like six here, so pick one. ♪♪ -Waaaake... Wake up! Wake up! -That's what I'm talking about. Yeah! -Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! -Hey. He built it too. -I'm tired. -He played that, "Waaaake..." - Yeah, I built it. -Yeah. -Now something hurts me. I think the left side of my body is bruised. -Oh no. -He's bruised. Can we talk about Royal Rumble? -Please. Let's do it. -You are facing Kevin Owens. - Yes. - Wow. Wow. Actually? -Yeah. -Yeah. What is...any? What is your strategy in approaching this? -Don't change anything. - What do you mean? -I've been hitting Kevin Owens for years.
So... Let me give this guy his due: he's a tough, rugged guy, you know? And he's a little crazy. He is willing to do anything. -Mm-hmm. But I've dealt with it a few times and been pretty successful, so for me, you know, I feel like as long as nothing changes, if it ain't broke, don't break it. That's it, just stay in the same system. Go out and do what I do. And I practically feel like I'm genetically coded to beat Kevin Owens every time. It's like... It's like... It's like the fine print of my DNA. -Yeah. -Yes, beat Kevin Owens?
Yes look. Made. -You got it. -Yeah. -Alright. Kevin, if you're watching, wake up. -Wake up. -Roman Reigns, everyone. The road to WrestleMania begins tomorrow at the Royal Rumble, which you can watch live on Peacock. We'll be right back with Cathy Ladman's monologue. Stay.
