Nick says there is a reason why the pile driver is banned. He says he doesn't want wrestlers to be in wheelchairs. He says he knows how long it takes to get to WWE and you don't cross the line to get to those big pay days.
NIck says until he figures this out, he can't have Kevin here.
Cody says Nick is making a martyr of Kevin Owens. You are giving him what he wants. You are hitting him in his wallet. The man drives a Lamborghini. He says Kevin Owens is self righteous and indignant. Before he can call Kevin an asshole, Nick stops him.

Cody says he loathes being called Codeman but he will cherish it because of what Randy means to him.
Randy is on the shelf and that is because of him? Cody says if he cannot handle his business in a WWE ring, do you want him to buy a ticket and kick his ass in his front yard. That is not what you want from this company's champion. That is not how you want him to represent this brand. The ball is in Nick's court and he won't wait long.
