We take a look at what happened last night when Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns were in the same football stadium at the same time. We see Roman's entourage driving into the stadium. Cody shows up by himself.
They stand on the 50 yard line and stare at each other.
Roman says that this ground is his. Years ago, he shed blood, sweat, and tears on this field many times. This is his field. If this is his field, that means it is his stadium. If this is his stadium, it is his city. He asks what has Cody done for his city.
Cody says seven cars is subtle. Cody says that Techwood Studios is on the other side of the stadium. The Omni used to be in this city. His family has bled in this city and for this city. You played football here, but you went to the beach. This might be your stadium, but this is his home.
Roman likes that. Roman wants to get down to the facts. You signed your way into a lose lose situation. You have everything to lose and you are dealing with a situation with people who have nothing to lose. They took Jimmy from him. They took his Wise Man. They took his Bloodline. They took his Ula Fala. He has nothing to lose. There is no weight on his neck. It is on yours. Roman says he is a man with no country.
Cody asks Roman if he is supposed to be surprised. Cody says that he would be standing here like this, a chief without a tribe. They took everything from you. You have nothing to lose? Cody tells Roman to look around WWE. They have a tribal chief and it isn't you. We have a WWE champion and it isn't you. If you can't beat your own bloodline, who is standing here right now? It is not the biggest box office attraction in the history of WWE. It is not the guaranteed Wrestlemania main eventer. It is the guy they used to call Roman Reigns.
Roman asks Cody what does he want.
Cody says he wants Roman's word. He wants Roman's word that he will have his back so Cody can have Roman's.
Roman thinks about it and he gives Cody his word. Roman says he will have Cody's back. Roman says when it is all done, he's taking back what's his.
