And as I laid there, and I looking up at her, I realized that the rumors are true, no one loves to kick a girl when she’s down quite like Charlotte Flair. So, at WrestleMania, I’m not coming for your legacy, Charlotte, that’s all you. I’m coming for the spot you desired the most, the number one spot as the top girl in the WWE.

Tiffany Stratton: Nia, give it up. This title isn’t yours anymore. And once I beat Candice, you won’t have anybody to do your dirty work for you anymore.
Candice LeRae: You know what, Tiffy? I know we have a match right now, but you know what, Nia and I are just a little impatient.
Nia Jax: Yeah, we should take you out, right now.

Alexa Bliss Promo
When I was away, there was a lot of change that happened to me. But when I look around, I see that this place is still the same. The names and faces may be different, but the desperation and insecurities remain the same. You’ll see in Toronto when I turn the Elimination Chamber into something of a playground of my own. I know the Chamber. I love the Chamber. I’ve won the Chamber. Anod the other five women, it’s going to be a hell like they’ve never experienced before. Need I remind you, this is my division, and I’m in charge. See you soon.

The Rock: And you know what’s crazy? I gotta tell you, and this is something a lot of you guys don’t know, probably all you don’t know is that, ever since last year WrestleMania, we’ve actually become good friends. It’s true, we have. So, the last time we were in the ring or the last time we were on a show together was the Raw Netflix Premiere. I laid flowers down at your feet. As a matter of fact, I told everybody that you carried this company, like an incredible champion that you are, thank you very much, Cody Rhodes. I said it, and I mean it. As a matter of fact, that night in Los Angeles, we went to the back, we drank Teramana Tequila for about two hours, and we had a good ole time. We chopped it up, and we had a blast. But I wanted to call you out here for something, Cody, because it’s important, and that is this. Here’s the thing, you are a great champion, you are a great WWE Champion, and you know that. We have texted over the months, as a matter of fact, we’ve become friends, as a matter of fact, our moms have become good friends. Show the picture of our moms.
Mama Rhodes and Mama Rock, that was after last year’s WrestleMania, so it’s been a pleasure becoming your friend. But I called you out here, I wanted to see you face-to-face, eye-to-eye, because I wanted you to know a few things. Number one is this, you’ve been a great champion, but Cody, I need you to understand something. Is that, yes, The Rock, The Final Boss is on the board of TKO, and TKO owns WWE. The Rock is a director of the board of TKO. As a matter of fact, don’t boo that. The Rock’s good friend and consiglieri, who you know very well, Ari Emmanuel, who owns everything. As a matter of fact, I joked with him, and I said, Ari, can you believe that you own the WWE? He’s like, listen, I don’t own WWE, Rock, you own WWE. I was like, listen, I don’t own WWE, but I do know that I am the most powerful. Cody, you are a great champion, but my friend, I want you to be something that’s more than a great champion, I want you to be something more than our champion. I want you to be my champion.
Cody Rhodes: I certainly didn’t expect you and I to become friends or the moms to become friends, or the Teramana, I certainly didn’t have that on my bingo card. But your champion? I think you above all people know that I’m their champion.
The Rock: Yes, yes, you are their champion, proudly their champion. Of course you are, The Rock is The People’s Champion, and I love that about you. And this is our universe, WWE is us, we were born into this business, this is in our DNA. But Cody, I’m talking something much more, much bigger than just this. I know for a fact, that your number one goal is to bring as much joy and love and happiness to everybody around the world, as many people around the world as possible, is that right? Yes, because you are that guy, you are that dude, I know it and they know it. You communicate through social media, Instagram. How many Instagram followers do you have? You have a lot, you have millions. The Rock has half a billion. It’s not a flex. What I’m saying is The Rock is the most followed American man in the world, and I want that for you, and that’s a fact. Rock is here, I want you to be here, that’s what I mean by meaning my champion. Cody Rhodes, if you become my champion, I can open doors and possibilities for you that you never knew existed. If you become my champion, every dream you ever had, I can make come true. Every dream of your wife, every dream of your little baby, who I know.
I invited you to the premiere of Moana 2 in Hawaii. Thank you, by the way, for making that cross over a billion dollars, I love you, thank you very much. You came there out of support, I met your family, they were amazing. Your baby’s dreams, when you and I are no longer here, we’re walking in the clouds, I can make all that come true for you. I just need you to be my champion. Cody, I want you to think about something for a second. I’m a very lucky man, and I’ve got it all. I know it, you know it, you have it all, we’re lucky boys. We’re mama boys, we’re girl dads, we’re lucky boys. You shut your mouth, or I slap the syphilis out of your face. I’m trying to have a moment with Cody, shut your mouth. Cody, listen to me, the one thing that I’ve never had, that I want more than anything is a brother, and that’s what you could be. Last year, for WrestleMania, you know this, my goal was to face my cousin, Roman Reigns, for the WWE Title. You know it, and you know it. And when I came back, I talked to Triple H, who’s my friend, I talked to Nick Khan, who’s my friend. Both of them are your friends. I said, I know it’s not in the plan, I know it’s supposed to be Cody, talk to Cody, we’re going to have to move him to the side, because this is what’s best for business. The biggest match ever, The Rock and Roman Reigns, and what did you do?
You shit all over that. I’m not doing it, and you stood up to me. And you know what else you did to me, in front of the entire world, you slapped me, and no one does that and gets away with it. But that’s why you are special. And that’s why you should be my champion. And that’s why I’ll take you from here to here. I’ll make sure every dream you have comes true, every desire comes true. You and generations behind you, your dad, my dad, right now, looking down. The American Dream and The Soul Man, they were friends, you and I are friends. Cody, be my champion. And here’s the thing, I don’t want you to answer to me tonight. I want you to think about it. I want you to go home and talk to your wife. I want you to hold that baby of yours. I’m going to go home, and I’m going to talk to my wife, I’m going to hold my babies, too, and then I want you to think about it. I’ll meet you in Toronto, Canada, at Elimination Chamber on March 1st, you’ll give me your answer then. It’s okay. Before I leave, and before I leave New Orleans, this has been an amazing night, this has been a hot ass crowd, thank you very much. Before I leave, I want you to know this, the one thing I want more than anything in this world is that.
Cody Rhodes: This championship? My championship? Their championship? This is what all of this is about?
The Rock: No, no, no, no, no. No, my brother, I don’t want that, I want your soul. I’ll see you in Toronto, on March 1st, at Elimination Chamber.
