>you know, first of all, i want to apologize to the wwe universe>i came out last week on smackdown and i ... lied to you>i want to apologize for that>because i told you guys that the rock ... should have this shot. that this ... opportunity ... something i scratched and clawed for, fought and bled for ... was something that i was ... okay ... just handing off to someone else>(describes how he was pressured in a meeting with dwayne and the board to give up the shot because it's the better business decision)>and as soon as that decision was made, it was one i regretted>because not only did i give up my opportunity, i also caved. i backed down.>but it wasn't only dwayne and a bunch of guys in nice suits, though. i'm not going to sit here and blame everything on other people>part of it was me>see ... i'm not afraid of roman reigns, that's for damn sure. but i was afraid ... to fail>it's what happened to me last year, i couldn't get the job done.>so what's it gonna mean when i get all the way back, and if i'm all over again in that same place?>a man alone, in front of the world, who told his story one more time ... flipping through the pages, but still couldn't find the ending>and i would like to tell you that when i took back my opportunity, that i told dwayne to back off, because i'm the kind of guy that splashed a little water on his face, snarled at the mirror, that had it in him all along
