WWE RAW REPORT: WHICH GROUP IS AS DYSFUNCTIONAL AS THE BLOODLINE?, TAG CHAMPS IN TROUBLE?, CODY WANTS BROCK, BECKY VERSUS ZOEY, AND MORE

We are back and Cody Rhodes makes his way to the ring.

Cody wants to know what Buffalo wants to talk about.  Cody says he is going to turn his back on the people watching at home for a moment so he can see everyone in the building.  Cody says he sees you and he says he hopes you can see him.  It feels like there can be an invisible wall between the ring and the seats.  He says the ring can be a dangerous place.  He says the reason it feels like that and not performative is because what he has said since he returned is real.  He is not just talking about career goals, but life goals.  Cody says he was asked about his momentum when he was in the United Kingdom.  He says he cited the WWE Universe, the fans.  He says every city is sold out and the crowds are louder and louder.  Every metric, he is right there and he is doing okay.

Cody says his momentum in the ring is a bit shaky because of the mountain in front of him.  He has to go through it or not go through at all.  He says you know who he is talking about . . . Brock Lesnar.  Brock is not here tonight because he didn't think Buffalo was worth the trick.  Brock surprised him last week and Brock will be there next week.  Cody says everybody has a Brock Lesnar.  Fear of heights, student debt, terrible boss. . . Brock Lesnar.  Something impeding you from taking that next step.  

Some men see the things the way they are and some say why.  Others dream things and say why not.  Cody says he wants to be the latter.  He wants a rubber match with Brock at SummerSlam.  

Brock, nothing would make him happier than for Brock to come to the ring, shake his hand, know that it is not personal and be his opponent at SummerSlam.  Cody says he will finish the chapter that Brock started.  Why would anyone want another match with Brock Lesnar?  What comes from that fight and cloud of dust, that guy is next in line.  The prince doesn't want to be the prince forever.  He says he wants to be . . . he will be next in line.
