Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens Segment
Cody Rhodes: Phoenix. Normally, I would ask you, what do you want to talk about, but I think we all want to talk about the same thing. Timing is a funny thing in life, just as it is in this industry. We’re on the cusp; WWE is on the cusp of changing everything. Not just about WWE, not just about sports entertainment, but about pro wrestling itself. It starts tonight, SmackDown going three hours, here in Phoenix. And then of course, Monday Night Raw going to Netflix. My excitement, it’s tempered, ever so slightly tempered, because as much as I’d like to be involved, I can only be involved so much, because technically, I am not cleared to wrestle. And I am not cleared to wrestle because of Kevin Owens. Nick Aldis and management are concerned that I’m here in the first place, but the Royal Rumble is essentially only a month away. And at the Royal Rumble, we will hang this championship up above us. Kevin Owens and I will compete in a Ladder Match.
– Drew McIntyre made his way down to the ring. McIntyre gave Rhodes a big hug.
Drew McIntyre: I’m not here tonight to hurt you, Cody. I’m here to help you. You’re not on my list. We go way back. And since no one will look you in the eyes, and tell you this, you’re about to screw up your entire life’s work. Everything that you’ve done. All the dues you had to pay in order to make it to the top of WWE. Being the centerpiece. You talked about us moving into the future. This is the greatest generation in the history of the company. Not the 80’s, The New Generation, The Attitude Era, brother. Right now, we have the best wrestlers we’ve ever had in-ring. And if you look at the numbers, the best of all time, by far, and you’re the freaking quarterback of it all. But you’re about to screw it all up. Nick Aldis is breathing down your neck, he won’t clear you. I know how that feels like, when you want to fight, and management start holding you back. There’s a guy running around with a replica title, like he’s one of these idiots in the crowd, pretending he’s a World Champion. They’re promoting him as a World Champion on Live Events. And your neck is hanging by a thread. So, I wanted to come out here and tell you, this SmackDown portal, this SmackDown gimmick, whatever they’re calling it, I don’t care. I can see that you need a friend, and you need someone to watch your back, and maybe I need to watch your back.
Cody Rhodes: Drew, Drew, Drew, Drew. I know you’re here, the transfer window, and here you are. You’re saying that you want to help me? You don’t want to hurt me, right? That’s what you’re saying?
Drew McIntyre: It’s exactly what I’m saying. I always tell the truth.
Cody Rhodes: Always tell the truth. Okay, WWE’s Resident Truth Teller, well, I would love to tell the truth right back at you. I would love to say, years ago, I watched you from afar, I watched you carry WWE through its darkest time. I would love to say that you and I are kindred spirits, the fact that we had to leave here, scrap ourselves off the mat, and make a name for ourselves, come back and finish our story. I would love to say, that over the last 2-3 years, not only have you become a beast on that microphone, but in this. I would love to say all of that, Drew, but I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you. I can just feel this tension. I can feel this situation. It certainly going to devolve, so let’s go ahead and cut right to it. You want to throw hands, right here, right now? You want a shot at this championship? We might as well do it. Everybody wants it. Drew, come and get it.
Drew McIntyre: Cody, sooner or later, you’re going to see the truth, one day. As soon as we’re gone, they’re going to forget about us, it doesn’t matter what they think. I’m telling you the truth. I’m not here to hurt you, I’m here to help you. One more thing, you need to watch your back.

Paul Heyman & Solo Sikoa Segment
Paul Heyman: Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. Tonight, way before Monday, I wanted to come out here, on the record, to set the record straight. See, on Monday, we’re going to find out one thing. Who is the real Tribal Chief? And let’s all be transparent about this. Roman Reigns and I trained Solo to become the next in line to be the Tribal Chief. Roman Reigns and I taught Solo how to become the Tribal Chief. Roman Reigns and I prepped, prepared, Solo for the moment in time, in the future, the future, that when Roman Reigns was ready to step down as The Head Of The Table, The Head Of The Family, The Head Of All WWE, and then Solo would reign as The Tribal Chief. And then at WrestleMania, what happened? After 10 years of lusting for revenge against Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns could not turn down that lust and finally got revenge on Seth Rollins. Cody Rhodes, to his massive credit, took advantage of that blind spot, and got a 1-2-3 on Roman Reigns.
And that is where Solo Sikoa seized the moment. That’s where Solo Sikoa stole the Ula Fala from Roman Reigns’ bag. That twisted son of a bitch didn’t earn that Ula Fala, he stole it from Roman Reigns. He got rid of Jimmy Uso. He got rid of The Wiseman. He got rid of all of us. Why? Because he knew, no sane man was ever going to acknowledge, Solo Sikoa. So, what did he do? He went out, and he got himself a band of these filthy animals, that don’t even belong in professional wrestling. He got, Tama Tonga, not welcomed in the United States. He got, Tanga Loa, not welcomed in the United States. He got, Jacob Fatu, who’s not even welcomed outside the United States Prison System, for crying out loud. He got these men, because none of us were ever going to acknowledge, Solo Sikoa. On Monday, live on Netflix, Tribal Combat, no rules, except there must be a winner, and there must be a loser. The winner of the match this Monday, and I absolutely promise you, The Tribal Chief, The Only Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns.
I want you to know, I’m seconds away from pissing my pants. Why, because the last time we did this, and I told you that you’re not my Tribal Chief, you had me put through a table, in front of my children, and the whole world to see at Madison Square Garden. And if I even blink at you wrong, right now, I know Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga are going to come out here, and the same damn thing is going to happen to me, tonight in Phoenix, Arizona.
Solo Sikoa: Phoenix, Arizona. Acknowledge Me. Wiseman, I think it’s finally time for you to acknowledge the truth. You owe CM Punk a favor, right? How about this? Let me owe you a favor, okay? See, this Monday, I need someone to hold the Ula Fala during the Tribal Combat Match. I need somebody that is trustworthy. I need somebody that loves my family. Somebody that would never disrespect my family. And somebody that would never disrespect the Ula Fala. So, this Monday, if Roman beats me in the Tribal Combat Match, you will put the Ula Fala around his neck, and I will acknowledge him as the Tribal Chief. But when I beat Roman, and I will, you know it, I know it, and everyone here knows it, too. So, when I beat Roman in the Tribal Combat Match, you will put this Ula Fala around my neck, and everyone will know that I own this, and that I own you. You will be my Wiseman, forever. And then Roman will have no choice, but to finally acknowledge me.
