He says but you can throw the one’s up together and he raises his finger in the air.

He watches Roman Reigns be the most dominant Champion and he is proud of that.
The fans chant “OTC”. He says he watched his twin brother main event Jey Uso become one of the hottest superstars today. From a childhood memory to a real life dream, he is proud of that. He is even proud of his little brother Solo Sikoa and the fans boo.

And his answer is he doesn’t know but he wants everyone to ride with big Jim. It’s a big year for big Jim, it might be Royal Rumble winner. He might go after the United States title. He says he might as well go after the WWE Undisputed Championship too. Big year in front of big Jim and nothing will stop him from doing what he likes to do.
