Cody Rhodes walks through the back on his way to the ring.
Cody wants to know what the people of London wants to talk about. Cody looks at the Wrestlemania sign and he says that he will be facing John Cena at Wrestlemania as he goes to break the record and win number seventeen. That is Wrestlemania 41. In a few nights, he will be standing in the ring with John Cena in this city in this arena.
Randy Orton's music plays and he comes to the ring.
Randy says he isn't the sentimental type, but they are in London, so screw it. Randy says look at the man you are now and where you came from. Randy says he remembers a Cody Rhodes in his early 20s breaking into the business and breaking his ass as hard, or harder than everyone else. He says Cody wasn't always happy. He says Cody was frustrated and he was smart enough that he needed to grow but couldn't do it in a WWE locker room. Randy says it took big ass balls to do what he did by leaving the company. You changed the business and everyone knows that. You came back. We knew you would come back. The industry has changed forever since you returned to WWE.
Randy says he didn't know what to expect at first, but you are the same guy. You grew. Randy says he would join in singing with the crowd, but they might leave. So the crowd sings without Randy. Randy asks the crowd if they remember when Cody faced Seth Rollins in Hell in a Cell. You started that match with a partially torn pec and ended with a fully torn pec. The shades of purple on your body. He says it was for the people more than what you did for yourself. You went on to Wrestlemania to beat Roman Reigns and finish your story. There is always another story. You are smack dab in the middle of another one. You are in charge of your legacy and he is enjoying watching it. Sales are up and things are going well and it is 99% because of you.
Randy says he respects Cody, loves him, and is proud of him. It is time for Wrestlemania and he can guarantee that he is going to kick Kevin Owens so hard in the head that he can feel it already. He cannot wait to remove Kevin's head from his shoulders. Randy says Cody will enter Wrestlemania as champ and he will leave Wrestlemania as champ, but after kicking Cena up and down the Strip. Just like Cena is coming after 17, Randy says he will be coming after 15 at some point.
Randy says he won't kick Cody in the balls like a coward. He will look Cody in the eye and he will tell Cody that he is coming for the title.
Drew McIntyre's music plays and he makes his way to the stage and he waves at Randy and Cody.
He says isn't this wonderful. A few nepo babies having a love fest in the middle of the ring and it makes him sick. If Cody gets past Cena, you are coming after the title? What have you done to justify the title match other than being Randy Orton. You have been on the shelf for months and months. More people talk about his five minute and forty-six second title reign than your entire return. Go to the back of the line.
Drew tells Cody he should have listened to him. You should have listened to him about John Cena but he kicked you in the twig and berries. You should be facing the only UK World Champion, but it was stopped by that makeup wearing Temu Undertaker, Damian Priest.
Drew says it won't be Randy who takes the title from Cody if he gets past John Cena, it will be him.
Randy asks Drew to cut to through the BS.
Drew says KO might have a point and the voices are talking to you and they know Drew well. You look great and are jacked . . . on the outside. He says on the inside, you are hanging together by a thead and he will break it.
Cody with a drop down uppercut to Drew and Randy goes for an RKO but Drew escapes and goes to the floor.
The teams in the tag title match walk in the back.
We go to commercial.
We are back and Drew McIntyre faces Randy Orton tonight.
