Cody tells the Rock that he heard his challenge and the stipulations that come with said challenge.  A tag team match at Wrestlemania.  Cody asks Rock if he has the authority to make that stipulation.  Last week, you acknowledged Roman as your tribal chief.  Cody says they can cut through all of this.  You want an answer.

Rock tells Cody to shut his mouth.  Rock tells the walking clown show to shut his mouth before he starts talking.  Before you say something stupid and accept this challenge, Rock wants to drop some gospel.  He says he acknowledged Roman as the tribal chief because that is what family does.  Wrestlemania, night one, he wants to mention the stakes.  If you beat Rock and Roman on Night One, on Night Two, you will be free of the Bloodline.  You will be free to achieve that story and the dream of your dad.  When the Rock and Roman beat you, then on Night Two, it is Bloodline Rules.  He will do everything in his power to make sure you don't walk out Champion.

Seth tells The Rock to shut the hell up.  Seth says they know the stakes.  The future of the industry is on the line and he tells Mr. Midlife Crisis that you had your time and you can't have theirs.  Seth says their answer is they accept the match.

Roman laughs and he asks Cody if he is going to let Seth answer for him.  He says Cody must be an idiot and be from Texas.  Are you going to let this crossdresser make your future decisions.  Roman says when he beats Cody, it is over.  You don't get another shot.  Your story is over.  It is done for you.

Rock says it is over and he tells Seth and Cody to listen to him.  He will do everything in his power and ensure that Cody does not win and Seth will lose that title.  Rock says he is on the board so he is their boss.  If you do not complete this story, you will never ever get a shot at this again.  Rock says this is family.  Their grandfathers are looking down.  Your father is looking down.  You are the youngest of three?  Your sister was a cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys?  Your brother is a future hall of famer?  You are twenty years younger than your siblings because you are a mistake.

Cody slaps Rock.

We go to credits.
