The Bloodline Segment 

Roman Reigns: Glendale, Arizona. Acknowledge Me. It used to be louder. I know it’s not me, it’s got to be you. Maybe we’re in the wrong place. Let’s try this again. Phoenix, Arizona. Acknowledge Me. We’re going to try this one more time, and if you don’t get on my page, I fulfilled my obligation and I will leave. Last shot. Glendale, Arizona. Acknowledge Me! We’re done here. Call the FBO. Get the jet ready. This appearance is done. You’re welcome. We’re done here.

Paul Heyman: But my Tribal Chief, we have some other business. We can’t leave yet. He’s coming out. Just give a moment. Ladies and gentlemen, in just a moment, The People’s Champ, The BDE in WWE, the greatest movie star of all-time will be out here, live. The Rock. After this commercial break.

The Rock: Are you sure you want to boo The Rock? Before The Rock drops some gospel on you, he has some good news to share. The Rock has got some newa that you would probably like. The Rock has got some news that you would probably be proud of. Apparently, Glendale is ten miles away from Phoenix. Assuming the answer is yet, but are there a lot of people from Phoenix here tonight? I knew it, because that would make sense. The Rock did a little bit of research, and here’s what he found out. This is the truth, this is a fact, the number one city in America for Cocaine and Meth use is Phoenix, Arizona. And here’s what that means, finally, your life has meaning. Because finally, you cactus loving crackheads finally have something worth shooting in your veins. As you sit, and you look at greatness, finally, The Rock has come back to Arizona. Glendale, can you feel it? You can feel it in the air, because it’s real. The Rock’s body is in chills. The Rock is in a good mood, The Universal Champ is in a good mood, Jimmy is in a good mood, Solo is in a good mood. You wouldn’t know it by looking at him, but that’s his happy face, he’s in a good mood. And here’s why we’re in a good mood, Glendale, Arizona. Because once again, and it’s been decades, professional wrestling is cool.

Professional wrestling is exciting. Professional wrestling is in a word, electrifying, once again. It’s why in Birmingham, Alabama, sold out. It’s why in Salt Lake City, Utah, sold out. It’s why tonight, in this crack den with popcorn, we are sold out. It’s why, next week in Dallas, Texas, sell out. Two weeks from now, in Memphis, Tennessee, The Rock is coming back home, that baby is going to sell out, too. And here’s why, because its greatness is among you. Wrestling is cool again because of The Rock, Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. But you know who’s not cool? It’s your hero, Cody Rhodes. Cody, you think you’re tough, boy? You want to run your mouth and you want to challenge The Rock? You want to go one-on-one with The Great One? See how tough you are, boy, is that what it is? Well, The Rock sees you, he hears you. And right here live in Glendale, here’s The Rock’s answer on SmackDown, one-on-one with The Great One, and The Rock’s answer is no. You think you’re just going to go one-on-one with The Great One just because you want to? That’s not how it happens. That’s not the real world. Glendale, you know that, and The Rock knows that. But guess what, Cody, the world wants to go one-on-one with The Rock. Everyone wants to go one-on-one with The Rock. You know who else wants to go one-on-one with The Rock? Every woman in this arena.

Now, you settle down, you crackhead Karen’s, you meth head Mary’s, because The Rock will tell you this, right now. There’s no way that you are ready for The Rock’s 22 inches of heaven, baby. Get your mind out of the gutter. The Rock is not talking about his holy Moses, no, no, no. The Rock is talking about the 22-inch guns that are hanging from his shoulders that he’ll wrap around Cody Rhodes, but it’s not going to be one-on-one. Cody Rhodes, you think that you’re tough, you think you can go one-on-one with The Rock. Are you an idiot? Right now, you got the biggest WrestleMania match of your career against the most dominant champion in the history of the WWE. And you’re challenging The Rock? Well, The Rock, Roman Reigns, The Bloodline, we saw your challenge, we heard about your challenge, we had a laugh about your challenge. But now, The Rock is a businessman, we are businessmen. We have a counteroffer for you. Here’s the counteroffer, shut your mouth and listen to the counteroffer. Cody, you think that you’re tough, you and your new best friend, that walking clown emoji, Seth Rollins. That walking clown show, Seth Rollins, you think you’re tough?

Well, how about this, here’s the challenge. On Night 1 of WrestleMania, the biggest tag team match in the history of the WWE, the biggest tag team match in the history of professional wrestling. It’s going to be Cody and Seth versus The Universal Champion and The People’s Champion, The Rock. But it’s not going to be a regular tag team match, if you accept. Because The Rock and Roman Reigns can easily beat the piss out of you. But here’s what we want to do, we are going to give you a shot, if you two jabroni’s beat The Rock and Roman Reigns on Night One, then on Night Two at WrestleMania, your championship match, Cody Rhodes, will be free of The Bloodline. No Jimmy, no Solo, no Wiseman, and no Rock. We’re gone. Barred from WrestleMania. We’ll get the lawyers, we’ll the sign the contract, you have The Rock’s word, and you’ll have Roman’s word. If you beat us on night one, then Cody Rhodes, you get a shot to finish your story, one-on-one with Roman Reigns. But there’s always a but, when The Rock and Roman Reigns beat your candy asses on Night One, then on Night Two, for your championship match, Cody Rhodes, it’s Bloodline rules, anything goes. The Rock might pull up a chair right next to his boy, Pat McAfee, and call the match. Maybe Jimmy’s the referee. Maybe The Wiseman takes out a foreign object. Maybe Solo wants to sing the national anthem. It’s Bloodline Rules. I know the idea of Solo singing the national anthem is very funny. You got a hell of a voice, but let The Rock finish, so sit there and shut your mouth. Or Bloodline Rules, The Rock will take that chair he’s sitting in, and he’ll find his way over to you, Cody, and he’ll just bash your brains in, and it will be legal.

So, you got a lot think about, boy, you and your walking clown show, Seth Rollins. You think you’re tough? You think you can go two-on-two with the greatest pairing in the history of sports and entertainment, is that what you think? You meet us next week in Dallas, face-to-face, and you give us your answer. Because here’s the thing, you listen to this, Cody Rhodes, and you too, you walking emoji clown show, Seth Rollins. Here’s the thing, if you don’t accept this challenge, and we’re giving you an option, if you don’t accept it, then you know, they know, and the world knows that The Rock will do everything in his power to make sure you don’t win that title. And let me tell something else, punk, there’s no man back there that can stop The Rock from making that happen. You know where The Rock sits. You know The Rock sits at the board. You know The Rock owns it all. Which means The Rock is your boss. And there’s not a man back there that can stop The Rock. It’s not a general manager, it’s not an executive vice president of who gives a shit. And here’s the thing, Cody Rhodes, if you don’t accept this challenge, then The Rock and Roman Reigns will end your story, tragically. So, how tough do you think you are, punks? You meet us next week in Dallas, Texas. You meet us on SmackDown. And you give us your answers. If You Smell.

Roman Reigns: I need something from you. I’ll do anything for my family. But I need this one thing. Acknowledge Me.

The Rock: Roman Reigns, my family, I acknowledge you as my Tribal Chief. Let The Rock explain something to you idiots. This is family. And we will do anything for family. Now, go home and smoke some more crack. If You Smell, (The Rock hands the microphone over to Roman)
