"Well...let's break out the tinfoil hats, because Roman thinks there's a conspiracy! Well, allow me to bring you back to reality, because you see, last night, Brock Lesnar didn't just beat you, no... He exposed you. For over a year, you've been coming out here week after week, saying that you were the only one who could beat Brock Lesnar! And the reality is, no matter how many whispers you heard, no matter how many eyes couldn't meet you, you failed...and that makes you a failure. And you know what else it makes you, Roman? It makes you a liar! You lied to these fans, you lied to your family, you lied to yourself! In fact, you're still lying, because you can't face the facts that every time Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar get in the ring together, you get jacked up. You get put through tables, you get carted out on a stretcher, you get broken, and Brock Lesnar gets richer. And no matter how many times we tell this story, trust me, it's gonna be the same thing: When 'The Big Dog' meets 'The Beast', 'The Beast' conquers you and you come out here making excuses why it happened...but I bear good tidings and good news that the vicious cycle will end! Because after Brock Lesnar is done rag-dolling you across that cage and you fail...once again... I'll be waiting at Backlash... to put you to sleep."
—Joe's "Reason You Suck" speech to Roman Reigns, after the latter's loss to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 34
Joe: Well, aren't we all living in a wonderful fantasy land. So I'll tell you what, how about I drag us all back down to reality?
Brock Lesnar: Reality is I beat your ass last night. That's the reality.
Joe: Oh, don't worry about that, 'cause sooner than later, I'm putting your ass to sleep.
(Kurt Angle tries to stop them, but...)
Joe: Hey, you know in your heart of hearts, if you're really honest with yourself: You didn't beat me last night, you escaped me.
Brock: Yes, I did. This is for real.
Joe: (turns to Roman Reigns) Hey! And you. You've never beaten me.
Paul Heyman: Hey, hey! Excuse me! Excuse me! And excuse me! Let's just get one thing straight: From my opinion, and my opinion does matter around here, the "Big Dog" that put The Undertaker on the Samoan trophy case? That's a claim for a title opportunity! The excommunicated Samoan rolled out of his own tribe! That could get an F-5! YOU'LL NEVER SEEK BROCK LESNAR IN A TITLE MATCH...AGAIN! MARK MY WORDS! NEVER! YOU'RE DONE! YOU'RE FINISHED!
Joe: (pointing to Heyman) See that? You see that? That's your advocate. That's the man who knows—
(Brock gets triggered and approaches Joe, eager to strike until Angle stops them, but Joe remains defiant)
Joe: Hey! HEY! You need to listen to your advocate. He's protecting you from me! Because, in his heart, deep down, at the bottom of his soul, he knows I'm the one, I'm the man—Hey! You look at me when I'm talking to you or we can straighten this out right now! (backs away, but gets closer anyway) He's the man that knows...I got your number.
