In-Ring Segment: 2023 and 2024 Royal Rumble Winner Cody Rhodes
Rhodes asks San Antonio what they want to talk about. Rhodes notes that at WrestleMania 40, he will be standing face-to-face with the greatest WWE Champion of all time, Roman Reigns. Well, he’d like to talk about that, but he’s faced with a distraction on his road to WrestleMania: The Rock. Last week, The Rock posted a 16 minutes video, then deleted that and posted a 21 minute directors cut. The Rock calls the crowd meth heads and he talked about Rhodes’ dog. Rhodes turns to the camera and emphatically tells The Rock never to talk about his dog. The Rock said a lot on SmackDown, but the one thing he downplayed is the fact that he declined Rhodes’ challenge.
Rhodes confirms what The Rock said to him before trying to steal his main event. The Rock told Rhodes that no one wants to see him face Roman Reigns; the people want to see The Rock vs. Roman Reigns. The fans felt otherwise, when the people started chanting, “we want Cody!” Rhodes notes that The Rock proposed an alternative that also includes… his friend… Rhodes pauses and says he thinks he can call this man his friend, Seth “Freakin” Rollins. Rollins’ music hits and he shimmys his way to the ring. The crowd roars as Rollins joins Rhodes in the ring.

Rollins turns to the camera and tells The Rock he would like to see him try. Rhodes pops for that. Rollins announces that as of today he is 100% medically cleared and asks Rhodes if he has HIS back.
