Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, The Bloodline Segment
Randy Orton: It’s been a minute. I had some business to handle over on Raw, but, man, I’ve missed being in a SmackDown ring, on a Friday night. So, Oklahoma City, ladies and gentlemen, the millions watching around the world on TV, welcome to Friday Night SmackDown. Guys, I’ve been in the business for a long time, and I can count the amount of people that I trust in this business on one hand. But, guys, Cody Rhodes is one of those people that I can trust. We’ve known each other for a very long time. I know him very well, and he knows me very well, which is why it was so hard for me to see that Cody Rhodes agreed to team up with Roman Reigns at Bad Blood. Yeah, it doesn’t sit right with me, and I need an explanation, because something doesn’t add up. So, Cody, my friend, if you’re back there, and you don’t mind, can you come out to the ring, right now, and give me that explanation?
Cody Rhodes: So, Oklahoma City, more specifically, Randy Orton, what do we want to talk about? I know you want an explanation, Randy. Of all people, you would deserve an explanation. Everything that you’ve been through with The Bloodline. And perhaps I look a bit of a fool, teaming with Roman Reigns, but, Randy, let me ask you, would you rather be a fool, or you rather be a coward? This got tasked to me, and, gosh, listen, Roman Reigns looked me in the eye, he gave me his word. He had also given me his word when he said that he would do anything to keep this title, he wasn’t lying then. He gave me his word when he said that, if I defeated him at WrestleMania, he wouldn’t show his face, he wasn’t lying then. So, I am going to take him at his word. Seems like a lot of our audience, WWE Universe, pro wrestling fans also going to take him at his word. But, of all people, right, I’m standing here with The Apex Predator. I’m standing here with The Legend Killer, which is why I would hope that you would understand, because the legend of this rogue, of this outlaw Bloodline has grown so much, that it is indeed time for it to be killed. And my friend, with the upmost sincerity, I hope that’s not a problem for you.
Randy Orton: No problem, Cody, no problem at all, unless, of course, you make it a problem.
Solo Sikoa: I’m very happy that the three of you are standing in the ring, right now, because it saves me a lot of trouble of breaking this up. Before I get started, Oklahoma City, Acknowledge Me. Cody, I’ll tell you what, I’ll acknowledge the fact that Roman gave you his word. You should trust him, because you’re going to need him. Because the two men you’re standing in the ring with, right now, they’re not going to help you at all. Let’s face, how long have been trying to take out The Bloodline? How long? Because every time you try to do it with these two men, they’ve let you down. So, you can’t stop us together, and they can’t stop us with you. So, the reason you’re going to team up with Roman Reigns, shut your mouth, Oklahoma. The reason you’re going to team up with Roman Reigns, is because every time you tried to take The Bloodline down with these two men, they’ve let you down, every single time. So, acknowledge that, Cody.
Kevin Owens: You know what? The only thing we need to acknowledge, is that nobody cares what you have to say, ever, so shut your stupid face. You want to talk about us letting him down. How about this, let’s see what happens, tonight, when you take on us in a tag team match, right here?
Cody Rhodes: It doesn’t have to just be a tag team match, there’s three of us standing here.
Kevin Owens: Actually, no offense, you have your tag team match against them at Bad Blood, and you got your partner for that, so you can worry about that one. Tonight, I’m talking about Solo and Jacob Fatu taking on me and Randy Orton. Come on.
