“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a truly historic night in WWE history! We are just months away from Wrestle Empire, a two-night spectacle that will change the game forever! Over the last year, WWE has seen an explosion in popularity, not just in the United States, but worldwide! From sold-out stadiums in the UK and Japan to record-breaking television deals and streaming numbers, WWE is experiencing its greatest era of financial and global success!”

“And this weekend? We take it to a whole new level. Fans will pack Allegiant Stadium over two nights, and millions more will watch around the world. But before we get there, we have some massive business to take care of—starting with the official contract signing for the biggest main event in any era!”

The Rock & Roman Reigns Contract Signing

(The crowd erupts as The Rock’s theme music blares through the speakers. The WWE Champion walks onto the stage, title draped over his shoulder, signature shades on. Moments later, Roman Reigns’ entrance theme hits, and “The Tribal Chief” strides, glaring at The Rock as they take their seats.)

Triple H:

“This is it. The match the world has been waiting for. Two icons. One championship. The Rock versus Roman Reigns for the WWE Championship! And tonight, we make it official.”

(Triple H places the contract in front of them. The Rock takes a mic.)

The Rock:

“Roman, you’ve spent years calling yourself ‘The Head of the Table.’ But at Wrestle Empire, The Rock is flipping that table over, tossing you off the island, and proving that there is only one FINAL BOSS in this business!”

(The crowd explodes. Roman smirks, then leans forward, taking the mic.)

Roman Reigns:

“Rock, you’re Hollywood now. You don’t belong here anymore. I run this industry, and at Wrestle Empire, I put you down for good. Because I’m not just the Tribal Chief—I am WWE.”

(The tension is electric as both men sign the contract. Triple H raises the document, officially stamping it with the WWE logo.)

Triple H:

“It’s done! The WWE Championship match is officially set! The Rock vs. Roman Reign!”

(The two superstars stare each other down, cameras flashing as security stands by in case of chaos.)
