He says he felt a little out of pocket because he did something uncharacteristic to him. He took the title belt and hit Drew in the head with it. He wonders if he has to apologize for that.
Drew interrupts and says he doesn’t want Cody’s apology or excuses. He asks if the people in Arizona are going to cheer Cody and boo him. With all of the evidence you have seen, you are going to cheer Cody and you are going to boo him? At this point, you are all complicit in his crimes. Drew says it isn’t that. They are brainwashed by Corporate Cody’s propaganda. Whatever you do, they keep cheering for you. You screw him at Wrestlepalooza with the referees. Last week, you screw him with the title belt. They still cheer for you. Drew says he has been screwed so many times, this is about Drew finishing the story. He will finish it at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Drew wants to talk about who attacked Jacob Fatu. It is always him, he is the scapegoat. He says he hates the family, but it wasn’t him. What about the black sheep of the family, Jimmy? His brother has another title match.
Cody says that is enough. You are looking for a fight so let’s do it right here and right now.
Drew gets off the announce table, but Jimmy hits Drew from behind from the ringside barrier. Jimmy punches Drew and sends him over the announce table.
