Cole talks up Lesnar being on a collision course with Roman Reigns for WrestleMania 31. Lesnar says good for Reigns that he won, but he’s up for the challenge and has been on a roll.

He moved his seat and faced up with Brock.

Reigns told Lesnar he knows who he is, what he is and what he’s signed up for. Reigns says he doesn’t think Brock knows what he’s signed up for. He tells him he’ll beat him and take that title. Reigns says if he can’t, he’ll take a piece of Lesnar along with him. They eventually get up face to face with a light touch. Lesnar says unlike Heyman, he doesn’t respect Reigns.
