Logan replied, It’s gonna be a 2023 thing, maybe really…” Then he added that his knee must heal for the plans to materialize.

Then he explained how the sequences in WWE are so brutal to perform. To the point where there were times, Logan doubted whether he could do it himself.

The taunt happened even as Heyman tried to dissuade him from a challenge of such gravity.

When the time came, Reigns got the shocker when his underdog opponent nearly beat him.
