Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre, Jacob Fatu Segment
Cody Rhodes: So, Washington, DC, what do we want to talk about? We can talk about how WrestleMania seems to go through the Elimination Chamber. This past Monday, the gigantic news that our friend, my friend, “Main Event” Jey Uso has selected GUNTHER to wrestle for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. So, now, all eyes are fixed on the Elimination Chamber, and who will wrestle me in the main event, for the Undisputed WWE Championship. So, who’s it going to be? Will it be the most natural athlete ever to entire our sport, Logan Paul? What about my friend, The Voice Of The Voiceless, CM Punk? There’s also Drew McIntyre. And then of course, the greatest of all-time, John Cena. I can tell you who it’s not going to be. It’s not going to be Solo Sikoa. Solo Sikoa, who has not qualified for the chamber, who is not in any of the remaining qualifying matches. Solo Sikoa, who knows when it comes to this ring, one-on-one, how it is with he and I. Solo Sikoa, who I believe, that Samoan Spike, last week, wasn’t for me.
Drew McIntyre: Also, Drew McIntyre, that’s all that I get?
Cody Rhodes: Okay, okay, that’s fair. It’s WrestleMania season, everybody has a lot on their mind. You’re right, I apologize. You want to do it one more time? Are you guys okay with we do this one more time? Indulge me. Alright, okay, this one is for you. And also, Drew McIntyre!
Drew McIntyre: Also, Drew McIntyre, that’s won the Elimination Chamber, twice, once as World Champion. Also, Drew McIntyre, former multiple time world champion, Royal Rumble winner, Money In The Bank winner. Accolades aside, is that the same Drew McIntyre, that just last month on SmackDown, stood in this ring and hugged you, put myself out in front of the world, because I was worried about you, told you that you were going into a dark place, and you tried to fight me, that Drew McIntyre? Is it the also, Drew McIntyre, that a few weeks later on Raw, I was handling business with Sami Zayn, you attack, is it that Drew McIntyre, is that who you were talking about, Cody? I don’t know your deal, I didn’t want it to be this way, but you made it personal, buddy, so I guess I’m going to have to remind you exactly who Drew McIntyre is.
Cody Rhodes: Is that so? Well, I can count on one hand the men who have defeated me since I’ve returned to WWE. You’re one of them, Drew, and I haven’t forgotten.
Jacob Fatu: Hey, yo, Drew, you already got your spot in the chamber. Now, see me, I’m all gas, no breaks, tonight. So, when it comes to Priest and Braun, I’m about to dog walk their ass. And when I get done running through those two, then I’ll earn my way into the chamber. And after that, I’m going to WrestleMania with it. And then when I’m done with WrestleMania, I’m bringing that title back home to my family, where it should’ve never left.
Drew McIntyre: You know what I think? I think this is something people want to see. I think people want to see us a Psycho and a werewolf throw down in the Nation’s Capital, right now. But it’s not going to happen, because I have my spot in the chamber already. Cody, I think he wants to talk to you.
Cody Rhodes: Say when, because that’s what you want, right? Well, here’s when. When you qualify for the Elimination Chamber, and then when you defeat everybody in said chamber, then you and I can fight over this.
Jacob Fatu: No, no, Cody. If it’s going to be anybody that speaks to Solo, it’s going to be me, first, on some family business.
Cody Rhodes: You can get the first word, I sure as hell am going to get the last.

Sami Zayn Promo
So, I have not been doing great. I know people have been waiting for an update, and I apologize for not getting one out sooner, but I am sure most of you have heard by now, that my neck is not doing too well. There’s been some nerve damage, and I’m seeing specialists and this and that. But I think the last couple of weeks have been particularly tough, just trying to come to terms with everything that’s happened here with Kevin and myself. Because, yeah, you know, it’s almost become a joke how many times Kevin has turned on me or maybe I’ve turned on him or whatever it is. It’s almost seems like an inevitability of our relationship, but this one was different, right. I know that, and Kevin, I know you know that. We both exactly know what you’re trying to do with the Package PileDriver.
Because that wasn’t about trying to get ahead or sending a message, that was trying to end my career. And for what? That’s what I keep struggling with. Over what? Over a wrestling match, over me not helping you win a wrestling match? You didn’t see me sprinting out there, with tears in my eyes, checking on you, as you lay there motionless, bleeding. Screaming at the doctors asking, is he okay, get him some help. Because, to me, that’s looking out for someone, you know, that’s what I thought being there someone is. But for you, it’s, you know, I should’ve pushed Cody Rhodes off the ladder, help you cheat in that match. So, I guess we look at things differently there. Look, the long and short of it is, I don’t know when I’m going to get cleared. But when I am, Kevin, me and you are gonna go again. And I’m telling you now, it’s not going to be fun. I’ll see you soon.

Damian Priest Promo
I don’t need to tell you who I am, that’s what the four years of Monday Night Raw were for. I made it to the top. I’m not taking a back seat to nobody on SmackDown. You can be a friend, an enemy, when that bell rings, I don’t know your ass. I don’t need a leader. I don’t need a crew. This is me and only me, and that’s all I ever needed. Y’all better be ready for punishment, because anarchy has arrived.
Shinsuke Nakamura, The Miz, LA Knight Segment
Shinsuke Nakamura: For weeks, I’ve waited. For weeks, I’ve watched from the shadow. Praying for a worthy challenge. A warrior to take to me. There are no warriors here. Just the same weak guy.
LA Knight: Let me talk to you. Look at the old Shin out here playing two lives and the truth. Says that he’s been hiding in the shadows. YEAH! I would say that’s the truth. You have been hiding in the shadows. And then you were saying you were praying for a worthy contender. And then you said you were looking for a test. Wrong! That’s the biggest bunch of BS I’ve ever heard. That’s the biggest lie I’ve ever heard, because the last time you and I were in this ring, I planted your head on the mat and the three count was there, but then when what it took was half of the Island Of Samoa and Tonga to come down here and snatch that away from me. And now since when, I’ve beat every crossed-eyed halfwit who’s stepped to me on a quest to come back and get that championship. But you want to talk about test for that championship? I’ll tell you the test, right now. The test is looking at you. The test is standing here. And my man, you’ve already failed that test, with everybody saying, LA Knight, YEAH!
The Miz: You guys are still going for that shtick huh? I mean, I got to admit, I was wrong. And I’m not wrong very often, but I was wrong. About a year ago, I said that LA Knight was a flash in the pan, that he was a fad, but here we are, the WWE Universe eating out of the palm of his hand. It just kind of proves one thing. That you guys aren’t that educated. I know, I know, you’re not smart. You’re basic. I mean, look at you, basic, basic, basic. I see what Shinsuke sees, and that is that you and nobody else is worthy. You know who is worthy?
LA Knight: Hold on, I got this one. I’m going to guess that you’re going to say, The Miz? I’m going to guess that you’re going to say something about being a Grand Sam champion, you’re going to say something about being a former United States Champion, you’re going to say that I beat John Cena in the main event at WrestleMania. Look, talk about same old shtick, my god, you’ve got to be using the same old shtick for over the last ten years. And if my math serves me right, I think it’s been that long since you’ve been relevant. But I’ve also got to say, man, I’m kind of happy to see you here. I almost forgot you were even here. Matter of fact, I feel like everybody out here probably wants to forget that you’re here. So why don’t you take a page out of John Cena’s book, start a farewell tour, because I know everybody is ready to see you go away.
The Miz: You all want me to go away? You want me to go away? Oh my god, I can’t believe I’m crying on national television, but in his PSA last week, he said it’s okay for men to cry.
LA Knight: Oh wow, that’s good. Hey, you know what? He’s right, I did say it was okay for grown men to cry, when it rises to that occasion. You know, it’s just like you to make it a point, to miss the point, because the point was, if there was line where you just go a little bit too far, and you want to talk about crying, you want to talk about crybabies. At the very top of that list, of all-time crybaby bitches, it’s got to be you and Drew McIntyre, neck and neck.
The Miz: You know, at least I’ve been at the top. I’ve been at the top over and over again in this industry. You want to know why I tout my resume so much? Because guys like you don’t measure to me. When the dust settles on my career, oh, when the dust settles on my career, my resume stands alone, can you say the same or will you crumble when they stop chanting your name, and realize there’s nothing beneath the surface, because you, LA Knight, are not on my radar. And if John Cena gets to call his shot, then The Miz gets to call his shot, and I want my shot at the United States Championship. I came to SmackDown with a new purpose, to elevate a title, again, to forge my way to WrestleMania, and you’ll be the guy on the outside looking in, just like you always have your entire career.
LA Knight: Hold on, did you just say that I’m not even on your radar? I’m pretty sure you just mentioned something that I said last week. That tells me that you must be watching everything that I do, thank you for that, I appreciate that, first of all. But when you talk about the idea of, well, why don’t I deserve a shot at that championship, let’s think about that for one second thing. The man who was the champion before me, the man who’s the champion right now, you put all of their title defenses together, and maybe it was one/one hundredth of what I did. I was in the ring defending that damn championship, every single week. And what that means is, as much as I want that title, oh, baby, but does that title ever need me, I make it shine. But you, my man, you ever met you? Dude, you suck. You are the most impotent dork. Is this man championship material? Nah-Nah.

They are doing being underestimated. DIY joins the conversation. They’re not angry, they’re just disappointed. Pretty Deadly didn’t ruin anything, they finally stood up for themselves. Whatever happens to Pretty Deadly next week, that’s on them. Their dreams of becoming the WWE Tag Team Champions will come to an end, and there will be a moment of silence for their careers.
Kevin Owens Promo
So, you’re not doing good, huh? I’m not doing good, because in the last six months, I was stabbed in the back and had my heart broken by three guys that I loved, three guys that I considered brothers. Three guys I would’ve taken a bullet for. And Sami, you sit there and talk about the pain that you’re in, and how your neck is hurt. You have no idea; you don’t know what real pain is. But I’ll show you, yeah, I’ll show you. You said, you want to go again, me and you. That’s great, that’s perfect, let’s do that. I can’t think of a better place than where it all started for us, in Canada. So, cleared or not, I don’t care, Toronto, Elimination Chamber. Come find me, then you’ll know pain.
