He talks about someone having a problem with him using the term “undisputed” and the fact that Brock Lesnar is “the” champion WWE. Heyman says this same someone over on Smackdown Live has barely survived the title challenge of Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura. He talks about Lesnar eating through one of the most stacked rosters in WWE history. Heyman says that fact is undisputed.

He talks about living in the age of trashing talking. “Everyone wants to hurl insults.” Heyman says he chooses to not trash talk Lesnar’s opponent. He says anyone who makes the decision to get in the ring with Lesnar is a real man. Heyman says he didn’t trash talk Goldberg, Samoa Joe or Braun Strowman. “But you Jinder Mahal? The make-believe Maharaja. With the Sing-Sing-Singalong Brothers doing my shtick of introducing you? You’re not Brock Lesnar’s equal.” He says when they think of WWE Champions they think of Bruno Sammartino, Randy Savage, Triple H, John Cena and his client Brock Lesnar.

“We don’t think of Jinder Mahal. A consolation prize champion offered to Smackdown Live.” Heyman says Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan got the true shaft in the Superstar Shake Up getting Mahal. “Any brand that brags Brock Lesnar is the number one brand.” Heyman says Mahal is going to Suplex City for questioning the facts. “Jinder Mahal your challenge is hereby accepted by the undisputed beast. Your challenge is accepted by the undisputed conquerer. Your challenge is accepted by the undisputed, number one champion in WWE.” Lesnar smiles into the camera with the title over his shoulder and leaves with Heyman.
