Kevin says what really upsets him is when people don't learn. When you teach someone a lesson they didn't learn, he wants to tell Dom that nobody cares what you have to say. You are so desperate to be respected. If you want to help this business is to shut your mouth forever.
Dom says he won't be disrespected.
Sami says that Dom has a point. He says Dom is being disrespected. It is only because nobody here respects you.
Kevin says that is an easy lesson.
Sami says there is a way that Dom can gain respect. What if Dom went one on one with one of the tag champs tonight? What about Dom Mysterio versus Sami Zayn.
Dom tells Sami to come get some if he wants a piece of Dirty Dom.
Sami says when they had a tag match, you made a whole stink about how their titles weren't on the line. If you are a fighting champion, you will put your championship on the line tonight.
Rhea says that Dom accepts.

We take a look back at Cody's experience in his home state.
Cody Rhodes walks in the back as we go to commercial.
We are back and Cody Rhodes makes his way to the ring.
Cody asks Tampa Bay what do they want to talk about.
Cody apologizes to everyone at home for turning his back so he can see everyone in the building. Cody says we have seen the clip of what Brock did last week. Brock beating him up with a chair in front of his mother. Cody says he did not have that on his bucket list for 2023, but is he surprised? Cody says he stands here impressed. We are talking about Brock Lesnar. Brock, who didn't have five professional fights before winning the UFC Championship. He made it on to an NFL team with no experience. He should be called Mr. SummerSlam.
Surprised no, impressed yes. Do you want to know who wasn't impressed? His mother, Michelle Runnels. She was not impressed. This is the same lady who watched Terry Funk throw fireballs at his father's face. She partied in Ybor City with Gordon Solie. You made a mistake. The mistake wasn't beating him up in front of his family, you left him breathing. Cody takes a deep breath. He says he doesn't want to go to SummerSlam just to win the rubber match. He wants to go to SummerSlam to embarrass you. There are a lot of people in the back freaking out saying he is going to embarrass Brock. He is not poking the bear, he is slapping the bear across the face.
Cody says he does not want to beat Brock because of what it would mean for his career or because of what you did to his arm. It is because it is what you deserve. When I am sitting back smoking a cigar, I will know that I have beaten you and that I have ended this.
