Cole asks Cody what does he want to talk about. He mentions how Rock trumpeted the fact that he is on the Board of Directors and if he doesn't get the job done at Wrestlemania, he will never get a title match again. Cole asks why did he slap the Rock.
Cody says he knows Rock says he is his boss and Cody isn't sure about that. If it is true, Cody says it feels good to slap your boss. Before the red carpets, the tequila, and everything else, Rock was a wrestler. Rock knows that slap was a receipt.
Cole asks why did he agree to the tag match since you have so much at stake on Sunday against Roman. Cole reminds Cody of the stipulation if he loses on Saturday. Why would Seth do that? You and Seth have a long history and Seth said he wants to be the top champion in WWE. Seth is the last person to defeat Roman, even though it was by disqualification. How can you trust Seth Rollins?

He says he was looking forward to talking to Cole and he wants to answer a question from the last time they were together in the ring. Cody asks Cole if he looks nervous or frightened. Cody says he is nervous and scared. Cody says he has every reason to be afraid because he already said he would get it next year. The story is now about everyone who has followed him to the ends. It is about a young girl named Hannah who is blind and held up a sign to feel it. He talks about a fan who went through fusion surgery to get a weight belt.
Cody talks about his other sister who traveled with their dad. He says that he has his mother who he can hand the belt to because he can't hand it to his dad. What about his number one fan, Brandi. She took a shot on him when he was wearing a goofy mask and taking RKOs every night. The story is beyond him, but it is up to him.
Roman, last year, you said they were in the third inning. They are now in the last inning. Cody says that Cole will get to say for the first time that a Rhodes is the Undisputed WWE Champion. You get to say at Wrestlemania, Cody Rhodes finished the story.
Ricochet says he returns tonight to in ring action. He returns for an opportunity to regain what was taken from him. From the first day he walked into the WWE, he knew where he wanted to be. After running through the gauntlet, he will face Gunther at Wrestlemania. His road to Wrestlemania starts tonight.
