Cody Rhodes SegmentÂ
Cody Rhodes: So, Perth, what do you want to talk about? We can talk about Seth Rollins. Seth Rollins and his doom and gloom outlook on our match, that according to him, has something to do with the future of the industry. And I poked fun at how Seth talked about our match at Crown Jewel. But after hearing Mr. Heyman describe the actual stakes of our match, I started to think, well, maybe Seth was right. I started to realize how much Seth’s role mirrors his role at WrestleMania, when I finished the story, yet it’s Seth and not Roman that is becoming the type of man he sacrificed himself to defeat. Crown Jewel might be Seth Rollins Achilles heel, I might be Seth Rollins Achilles heel. And dismantling this whole vision has now fallen on my shoulders. Lucky me, I suppose, but I can’t blame Seth for falling into this trap, because when you love WWE, and you guys sound like you love WWE. You guys sound like you’re gonna have fun tonight.
As I was saying, when you love WWE, like Seth loves it, you’ll do anything to protect it, to keep it sacred, you’ll even let your own reality get a bit skewed. But when you start to think that you are the only one who can carry all of this, that’s the downfall. That’s a quest for control, a quest for power, and it tips the scales from your original intention. Seth, I know that you don’t love the QB moniker, but I’ll be very blunt with you, it’s a nickname, and it’s a shared nickname at that. And as much as I like to be a leader, as much as I want to be a leader, this team that WWE has assembled is the greatest team it’s ever assembled. And if on any given night, I’m not pulling my weight, there’s somebody who can step up and there’s somebody who can do it.
And I’m gonna go ahead and name some names, and not for the cheap pop, I’m gonna name them, so I can illustrate my point further. I’m talking about wrestlers, I’m talking about superstars, like, Randy Orton. Of course, I’m talking about superstars like Roman Reigns. I’m talking about superstars like Rhea Ripley. I’m talking about superstars like Jey Uso. Hell, I’m pretty sure I am even talking about CM Punk. But, Seth, I also could be talking about you, this spot that you’re envious of. You guys really don’t like Seth Rollins? Nonetheless, it’s a spot that perhaps Seth can fill, but I’m not here to talk reason with Seth Rollins. Well, this is going quite off the rails, so I’m gonna confirm with the voice of WWE. Michael Cole, can you tell me what they’re saying? No, I mean, you’re the voice of WWE, I need you to say it.
Wade Barrett: Cody, they are saying, Seth Rollins is a wanker.
Cody Rhodes: Guys, I was trying to be really serious here, you know. Anyways, no matter what I try to talk reason with Seth, I doubt he’s listening, but where’s what I will say. I’ll give into the idea that the world indeed revolves around Seth Rollins. And let me ask you this, in that world, Seth, who am I to you? Because I can’t just be any wrestler, no, I have to be the wrestler, right? I have to be one that you wear my gear to the funeral. I have to be the one that you bury me in my boots. I have to be one, that on any night, in any era, under any circumstance, I am the one in your world, and in mine, Seth Rollins, that you cannot beat.
