Before he can say anything, he is interrupted by Matt Riddle. Matt says he came out just to say hi… and congratulate you on your recent title victory. But, real talk, I want to get a closer look at that North American Championship. Now that he has, I can’t help but wonder what it would look like around my waist… BRO.

Dream says you must really be on cloud nine today. The Dream is not your bro. Here is another reminder. The spotlight (and we get a spotlight on Dream) belongs to him. Dream Over.
