– We take a look at what Drew McIntyre and Shinsuke Nakamura did to Cody Rhodes last week, only to have Sami Zayn make the save for Cody.
– Jackie Redmond interviewed Sami Zayn earlier today.
She mentions that Sami said he would do anything to win, but he failed to qualify for the Elimination Chamber. She asks about his confidence. Sami says any athlete, when they say they are going to do something and fall short, there is some embarrassment. He says he felt it many times before in his career. That feeling is overtaken by his belief in himself. He says this time last year, he was standing face to face with Cody Rhodes. He said if he wanted main event Wrestlemania, he had to believe in himself. He says he still believes he is a contender. It will not be an easy path to get a title, but he will take it.
Sami is interrupted by Nakamura on the Tron. He asks what is wrong with Sami. You had the glory, but did you forget that. You act like you are in misery. You want people’s sympathy. Such a clever guy, just like Cody. I would love to see your true self tonight. The one that swindles people but if you don’t let your real emotions out, Nakamura says he won’t tolerate it. He says he will pick up Sami’s soul and continue his warpath forward.
– Cody Rhodes walks in the back as we go to commercial.
In the Arena:
Cody Rhodes makes his way to the ring.
Cody asks everyone what do they want to talk about. He says they could talk about how in the main event at Wrestlemania 40, he will be challenging for the title against Roman Reigns. He says it took him a while for him to say it. The reason he is able to say that is because of you guys. You made your voices heard. A week trending online and spreading the word. He says he really doesn’t know how he can repay you . . . maybe there is one way. He says they are making him emotional. He says he is passionate about this. He says he wears his heart on his sleeve. He doesn’t want to become emotional because he would become a . . . cry baby. While all of you were saying ‘WE WANT CODY’ there is one person who did not want to hear it. One of the most famous people in the world and the man who came up with the phrase Cody Crybabies.
Cody says promos are different from the last time he was here and few can fathom matching The Rock on the microphone. What are we supposed to do with the nuggets? He asks Pat what are they supposed to do since he was there.
Pat is a little apprehensive to speak.
Cody says he is a fan of the Rock. Everyone has been a fan of his at one point in their lives. Rock does not listen well. He said nothing to defile his ancestors, but Rock slapped him in the face, in public. You can hear the rivers overflowing. He noticed the look in Rock’s eyes. It wasn’t the People’s energy. Rock and Roman is the perfect storm. You put your hands on him. You slapped him across the face. That means is that he is going to hit Rock back.
Seth Rollins’ music plays and he makes his way to the ring.
The crowd hums Seth’s entrance music.
Cody tells Seth to take a bow and he says he wants to thank Seth for coming to his aid at the press conference.
Seth says you’re welcome and he cackles. He tells Cody as much as he was looking forward to defending his title against Cody at Wrestlemania, he understands Cody’s decision. He knows why he needed to pick Roman so he could finish that story. There are millions of people around the world who want Cody to finish his story. Now that the decision is made, he wants to make this clear to Cody. You need to finish your story. You need to do it for yourself, your father, for Seth, and everyone here tonight. Seth says if Cody does not beat Roman, the landscape on the other side of Wrestlemania is very dark. You have the most powerful champion of the modern era. He gets more power. He gets more leverage. He shows up less. He defends that title less. The glass ceiling gets thicker, the brass rings get higher. This is the last time anyone can take that power and give it to the people.
Seth says you might be the man for the job, but what is your plan? Last year, you got screwed out of the title. The Usos were there, Paul Heyman was there, and Solo was there. You fought your way back by winning the Royal Rumble. The deck is stacked against you, but the bar has been raised. You are not just dealing with Heyman, Solo, Jimmy, and Roman. You are dealing with the biggest star and most influential man in entertainment. You have to deal with the Rock. Seth says he agrees with the peoiple that Rocky Sucks. Seth says Cody does not have to fight this battle alone. We have not seen eye to eye, but a few weeks back, you said you wanted to take everything from Roman and Seth says he felt that. That is why at the press conference, when the Rock laid hands on you, he stepped up. When these entitled pricks think they can throw their weight around with no consequences, he is sick of them getting away with it.
Seth says the man Roman Reigns is is his fault. They came to the ring in tactical vests. He taught Roman everything he knows. He never expected Roman to be the monster he has become. Now that monster has to heads. He is standing next to someone who is as entitled and selfish as he is. When it comes to fighting The Bloodline. When it comes to fighting the Rock and Roman Reigns, there is only one person uniquely suited to be your SHIELD. He says he will give Cody a hint. He was once an architect and now he is a visionary and revolutionary. That person is Seth Rollins.
Backstage:
Cathy Kelley is with The New Day and Jey Uso. She brings up their win. Cathy says Gunther will have to defend his title next week against Jey Uso. Jey says it is a big W for them tonight and it will be a big W for next week. Woods says Jey slapped the hell out of Gunther tonight.
We go to commercial.
