His back could give out. The Bloodline could leave him broken and Wrestlemania might be an easy night for you.
What if you are wrong? Seth says some risks are worth taking. He says he has been selfish in his career and in his life. He thought the goal at the end of the road would fill that void, but when he got there, he felt empty inside. It wasn’t until he had his daughter that he realized that some things are bigger than him. Bringing down the Bloodline is bigger than them. If they don’t take care of the Bloodline, what happens? They will come after Drew for the World Title.
Seth says what if he is at 100 percent and they can rip apart the Bloodline and secure the future of this industry. If they can do all of that, Wrestlemania will just be the two of them and the World Title. Seth tells Drew may the best man win. He says some risks are worth taking.
