We start off with footage from Riyadh of people removing the Crown Jewel title belts from the WWE Experience to transport to Perth for this weekend’s show.
The Men’s Crown Jewel belt is in the ring, under glass.
Cody Rhodes makes his way to the ring.
Cody asks Perth what do they want to talk about. He says they can talk about Seth Rollins. Cody says we can talk about Seth Rollins and his doom and gloom outlook on their match that has to do with the future of the industry. Cody says he poked fun at how he talked about their match at Crown Jewel. After hearing Mr. Heyman describe the actual stakes of the match, maybe Seth was right. Seth’s role mirrors his role at Wrestlemania. Seth is turning into Roman as the man that has to be sacrificed. Cody says he might be Seth’s achilles heel.
He says he cannot blame Seth for falling into this trap because when you love WWE, and you sound like you love WWE. You sound like you are going to have fun tonight. When you love WWE like Seth loves it, you will sacrifice for it. When you think you are the only one who can carry this, that is the downfall. That tips the scales from your original intentions. You might not like the QB1 moniker, it is a label and nickname. Cody says as much as he loves to be the leader, there is so much talent in WWE that if he cannot stand up, others can do it. Cody says he is talking about Randy Orton, Roman Reigns, Rhea Ripley, Jey Uso, and CM Punk. Cody says he could be talking about Seth. Cody asks the people if they really don’t like Seth based on their reaction. It is a spot that Seth could fill.
Cody says he is not here to talk reason with Seth Rollins. Cody asks Michael Cole to tell him what the crowd is saying and Cole has no idea. Wade tells Cole they are saying something rude. Cole won’t say it. Wade says that the crowd is saying that Seth Rollins is a wanker. Wade tosses the mic back to Cody and he catches it.
Cody says he was trying to be real serious here. No matter when he tries to talk reason to Seth, the world may revolve around Seth. In that world, who is he to Seth. He cannot be any wrestler. He would have to be THE wrestler. He would have to be the one you wear the gear to the funeral and bury in his boots. He is the one in any era who in your world and his that you cannot beat.
