WWE RAW San Antonio, Texas
The commentators are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.
– Tonight is WWE RAW, the red show begins with the commentators greeting us and sees wrestlers arrive in the room earlier in the day.
– We present a video about the rivalry between Cody Rhodes and The Rock. Cody Rhodes Then he enters the ring. Cody comes to the ring and asks the fans what they want to talk about. Cody says he would like to talk about facing champion Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania. But he can't talk about that because of a distraction, but he does talk about The Rock.
Cody says The Rock sent a 20-minute video last week and then spoke to SmackDown to insult us as drug addicts. He talked about his dog and especially the fact that The Rock didn't accept his challenge for a single game. Cody says the rock changed his mind like a politician. Yes, it's true, they had a discussion about people not wanting Cody vs. Roman Reigns. A discussion that says people want Rock vs. Reigns. But the crowd began chanting something else. The crowd chants “We want Cody.” Cody says everyone heard it, especially the officials and The Rock, who called those fans Cody's crybaby.
Cody says The Rock has now given him a completely different challenge. A challenge involving his friend and it's time to introduce him, the world champion Seth Rollins. Rollins comes to the ring and asks Cody what he thinks. Cody says Rollins offered to help him fight the bloodline. He didn't even think he was at WrestleMania until he saw The Rock's stupid PowerPoint about his family. Because of the Royal Rumble, he had the right to request his match. On the other hand, Rollins faces Drew McIntyre. He would understand why Rollins wanted to focus on McIntyre.
Rollins says he'll take care of Drew McIntyre. He said there was something bigger than them and defeating the bloodline was the greatest thing they could do. This is the end of Cody's story, but also his own. Ten years ago they came here and wanted to take power. He wanted to take power and give it to the people, but Roman Reigns wanted to keep the power for himself. With The Rock in his corner, Reigns doesn't lack much to have absolute power.
Rollins says he can't hear the rock anymore. The Rock hasn't been the People's Champion for a while. He came up with a new name for The Rock: Dwayne's Diarrhea. Every time Diarrhea Dwayne speaks it's soft baby shit. Diarrhea Dwayne spent 20 minutes insulting Cody's dog and saying he could make his title disappear. So he invites Dwayne to try and take it away from him. The Rock also said he made wrestling cool again. Diarrhea Dwayne hasn't been cool in 20 years. The cool thing is that he got a 100% green light from the doctor. So he is released and will be on SmackDown this Friday to face the Bloodline. So will Cody have his back in this fight too?
Cody says he has a message for The Rock, it's been a long time since he had that $7 in his pocket. The People Champion cannot live forever. He's not the type to complain for 20 minutes. He's the guy who will confront him in the ring with Seth Rollins this Friday on SmackDown. This Friday he will give his exact answer for WrestleMania.
