The performance all led up to one big moment at Madison Square Garden, which saw Sikoa demanding that Heyman acknowledge him as the Tribal Chief. Heyman looked undeniably (and purposefully) terrible during the segment, and he confirmed that it's not a look he could've achieved without some serious preparation.

The "Wise Man" stated that he went above and beyond to ensure the audience could buy into the idea that he was overwhelmed with stress, beginning by sleeping for just 90 minutes the night before the confrontation. However, Heyman didn't stop there.

"Didn't shave for several days. Didn't wash my hair for several days," Heyman said. "Took the stuff that washes the dye out of your hair so that more gray [was] showing. I wanted the aging process, for a week, to be really defined. Ate like s**t for a whole week, like stuff that would upset my son."

Upon being handed the Samoan ula fala, Heyman refused to call Sikoa the Tribal Chief, causing The Bloodline to put him through the nearby announce table. Unsurprisingly, the crowd offered up a massive reaction to the physicality, giving Heyman exactly what he was after.
