Your announcers are Wade Barrett and Corey Graves.
We begin with a look back at what happened at the end of Smackdown last week.
We see The Bloodline Reboot entering the arena earlier today.
Grayson Waller is introduced for the Grayson Waller Effect and he is with Austin Theory.
Grayson says his guest likes to make things about himself and he brings out Cody Rhodes.
Waller tells Cody he can't pose on the turnbuckles since they had the pyro and the WHOAAAAAAAAA already.
Cody starts to speak and Waller finishes his sentence and Waller says everything has to be about Cody Rhodes, even on his show. Waller says Cody doesn't have to answer because he knows the truth. Waller says Cody is the hero of the story because the idiots don't know the real Cody. Waller says he knows how selfish Cody is and how he only cares about the title. How many times have your friends gotten beaten up because of you while you get all of the glory? What kind of friend are you?
Cody asks Waller if he is done.
Cody brings up that Kevin is his opponent at Bash in Berlin. Do you think giving Kevin a title match is charity? If you put Kevin against anyone on the Smackdown roster against Kevin, would he win? Kevin has dealt with the Bloodline before Cody came back and Kevin has not stopped fighting. Cody says he would not be sitting here as WWE Champion if not for Kevin. Not once has he used Kevin Owens. Cody asks Waller if he can say the same thing. Is this relationship a friendship or are you using Austin Theory? Cody asks Magic Mike if he gets what he is saying. Waller is trying to show everyone the 'real Cody Rhodes' but Waller is the one using you and everyone is waiting for you to do something about this.
Waller says this is his best mate and tag team partner. They would never turn on each other. Waller says he knows someone who would. Waller has a video package of Kevin turning on people over the years.
Waller says that doesn't look like a good friend to him.
Kevin Owens makes his way to the ring after his music plays.
Kevin says he can't stand back there any longer. We get the point. You are trying to convince Cody that Kevin is going to stab him in the back and attack him. Kevin says every one of those guys had it coming, except Kofi. Kevin apologizes to Kofi. Kevin says they never had that type of relationship. They are tight. Kevin says they will get in the ring and beat you up and Nick will be told to make a tag match. Kevin asks Nick to come out and make the match already. Kevin admires Nick's match and asks Nick to make the match.
Nick says the match is official.
Kevin thanks Nick and he asks if he can go into the ring and punch them in the face.
Nick tells Kevin to make it quick.
