I am and have been the reaper of wayward souls for a long time and I’m here to collect your souls. Now Shane, you had my respect — a little — for a while. I mean, you gave me everything you had at Hell in a Cell at WrestleMania… and you actually lived to tell about it. But just like most mortal men, you fell victim to your own greed and ego. You see, you may be the best in this world… but where I’m sending you to, you’ll be nothing more than another couple of lost souls suffering the torment and torture of the acrid stench… of death. That will be for all of eternity. You two will never Rest… In… Peace.”
