We are back and Cathy is . . .

Interrupted by Paul Heyman.  He says the Bloodline has a problem.  They have identified that problem and that problem is named Kevin Owens.  Tonight, they demonstrate that they solve all problems and it will be solved by Solo.

Paul walks away and he returns and says, then there is Cody Rhodes.  He believes the truth will set him free, but it will imprison him to make mistakes like making it personal.

Paul says we know it is personal for Cody.  That is why he is a compelling competitor for the main event of Wrestlemania.  To make this personal to Roman Reigns by mockingly acknowledging Roman on national TV?  What a shock.

You want to acknowledge your champ.  Paul says he will give Cody a chance.  Next week, Roman will be live on Raw.  You will acknowledge Roman next week and you will make the biggest personal and business decision of your life.  You will determine if you are a challenger or a problem.  You are a problem that Roman Reigns would love to personally solve.

We have a video package for Rey Mysterio.

Corey mentions that the next inductee will be announced on The Bump on Wednesday.

Rey Mysterio makes his way to the ring.

Rey says he has to admit it feels really good to be back on Raw.  Last year, we were celebrating 20 years together.  It was a huge celebration.  Now we are celebrating the biggest honor of his life.  Rey says this isn’t his award.  This is from all of the people who helped him in his career.  The fans who connected with him.  This award is not just for him, it is for all of us.

Dominik Mysterio interrupts Rey.

Dom congratulates Rey for finally making it into the Hall of Fame.  You deserve it.  You put your entire life into this business.  Dom says he hopes it was worth it.  You earned that honor at his expense.  Dom tells Rey he knows that is right.  Dom says Rey put his entire life for this business.  You chose all of these strangers instead of being there for your kids.  Dom asks how does it feel?  Is it an honor to know that Dom didn’t have a father all those night.

Dom says Rey told him he would take him out if he got promoted in 8th grade.  You were a no show.  Dom says Rey ditched him for Wrestlemania.  Dom says Rey told Dom he would get a new car when he turned 16.  Dom says all of his friends got Mercedes and Dom says Rey got him a BMW. 

Dom says Rey is afraid because Dom sees Rey for what he really is.  A sad ugly excuse for a father . . . excuse for a man.

Rey tells Dom to take that back.

Dom says he will let Rey enjoy his Hall of Fame weekend in LA.  Dom says he will make it better because he challenges Rey to a match at Wrestlemania. 

Rey tells says he doesn’t know how many times he has to tell him, but Rey says he will not fight his son.  Whether you believe it or not, Rey says he loves Dom and he will always love him.  There will be no match at Wrestlemania.

Dom asks if this is your Hall of Famer.  You are just going to walk away?  Mr. Hall of Fame?  Do what you do.  The only thing you know how.  You ran away from Raw, your family, and him.  Dom tells Rey to keep going.  The only thing you taught me was what not to be.

Cathy is at the trainer’s room door and she is waiting for an update about Trish.
