Transcript
00:00Let's give it to you, Mark, the Royal Family.
00:30The crowd is here, about to blow, waiting for me to start the show.
00:36As the curtain lights go off, I'm home.
00:41Whoa!
00:46Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes!
01:00Oh!
01:03Wade, Cody looked so impressive last week.
01:07He was bouncing back, slammed through a table,
01:10and then dismissed the hopes of Shinsuke Nakamura,
01:13getting through Priest and Andrade as well,
01:15and now he has a huge statement to make
01:21in the King of the Rings semifinals set for Monday Night Raw.
01:25Yeah, big task ahead of him this Monday
01:29against Jey Uso, of course.
01:32The winner of that will face the winner of tonight's semifinal
01:35between Randy Orton and Sami Zayn in the final.
01:41Whoa!
01:45Cody is a man on a mission,
01:48desperate to win the crown and earn himself another crack
01:52of the goal taken from him at WrestleMania by John Cena.
01:58Look at this scene.
01:59You wonder why they call him the quarterback of the biz, QB1,
02:03in front of a sold-out crowd, on their feet,
02:06giving him this kind of a reception
02:09as he humbly tries to work his way back to a world title shot.
02:15I am, I am my kingdom!
02:18You try to tell me why!

03:50And they can never get enough.
03:54Jey Uso.
04:02Just a couple weeks removed from teaming up in L.A. with Cody Rhodes.
04:07And now just a couple days removed from facing off against Cody Rhodes in the men's semi-finals of this King of the Ring tournament.
04:18So much respect between these two, of course, that has to go out the window.
04:23Bell to bell this Monday on Raw.
04:27The stakes are quite simply too high.
04:31Oh, he's dapping us up.
04:32Damn, I feel cool right now.
04:34Jey Uso just has that effect, doesn't he?
04:37A sea of humanity completely in sync with main event Jey Uso.
04:47A constant wave of energy that yeets throughout the building.
04:52From high atop to down ringside.
05:09Sold out in Grand Rapids.
05:11Woo, I'm out of breath.
05:20I don't know how Jey Uso does it.
05:24It's going down now.

07:57We've both been to the mountaintop, but Cody, this Monday, Uzz, there's only room for one
08:07of us, there's only room for one of us, Uzz, you against me, me against you, and look at
08:26me, Uzz, I know you're going to bring it, I know you're going to bring it, and I got
08:30to get mine, Uzz, I got to get mine, Cody, just like you got to get yours, all right,
08:37that being said, Uzz, I know it ain't personal, it's strictly business, but with that being
08:43said, too, Uzz, on Monday night, after me and you go to war, please believe, there's going
08:52to be four letters, one word, O-O-V.
08:57Well, here's four letters, one name, S-A-M-I.
09:17Way to ruin a moment, Sammy.
09:23Sammy himself, a semi-finalist in the King of the Ring tournament that we will see in action
09:30in moments.
09:32I mean, whoever wins semi-final A and semi-final B, we've got three matches everywhere, you
09:38look.
09:38Well, Cody's been trying to speak, but he had a yeet tidal wave, and now a Sammy Zane interruption.
09:49We'll carnival atmosphere here tonight in Grand Rapids.
10:04Awesome crowd here in Grand Rapids, awesome.
10:07I mean, this is nice, isn't it?
10:19I get to share the ring with two great friends.
10:26I get to share the ring with, if I may say so, two of the very best that this business has
10:33to offer.
10:33Now, I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a part of me that is very, very aware that the
10:43three of us standing in this ring, there's only one of us who has never won the world championship.
10:56Jay, I wanted to let you know, and I've told you this before, but I want to tell you this
11:00right now, man to man.
11:01This year, I had to miss WrestleMania.
11:04I had no reason to be in Las Vegas.
11:06I got my ass on a plane for one reason, and it was to make sure that I was there to congratulate
11:11you when you won the world championship.
11:18I love you, and I'm proud of you.
11:20And Cody, for years, every one of us watched with bated breath as you tried to finish your story.
11:33And when you did, when you did the unthinkable, and you pinned Roman Reigns in the middle of the
11:38winning, at WrestleMania, I was the first one to run through these ropes to congratulate you.
11:44I am proud that you finished your story.
11:47So I hope both of you understand that now it is time for me to finish my story.
12:00Yeah, but to do that, Sammy's got to get through one of the greatest to ever do this.
12:14Randy Orton has finished thousands of stories over the past 20 years.
12:26Most of them did not end well for his opponents.
12:36Sammy and Randy will be meeting up in the King of the Ring semifinals right here tonight on SmackDown.
12:47One of these four men will be King of the Ring.
12:50will get a championship opportunity at SummerSlam in early August at Fenway Stadium in Metro New York.
13:04Night of Champions is next Saturday, June 28.
13:07That'll be the finals, but Boone will be there.
13:09So Cody, same deal as last week, but I'm going to say it again.
13:27There is no line that I will not cross, even if it means going through you,
13:32so that I can get to John Cena at SummerSlam, beat him, and get my 15th World Championship.
13:39Oose, man, I respect the hell out of you, dude.
13:54Our families go way, way, way back.
13:58Nothing but love, dude.
14:00But if you're standing across the ring from me at SummerSlam,
14:03it's not going to be four letters, one word.
14:05It's going to be three letters in one move.
14:08Now I think, not only can I speak for myself, but I can also speak for you, you,
14:20and each and every one of you beautiful people in this arena.
14:26When I say, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, Sammy,
14:30one day, one day, one day soon, Sammy Zane will be world champion.
14:41But SummerSlam's not that day.
14:45Because tonight, you're going to be on the receiving end of the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment.
14:52A lot of confidence in that ring right now.
15:01The two have to prove it all immediately.
15:03Sammy Zane, Randy Orton, King of the Ring Semi-Finals coming up next.
15:07The two have to prove it all right.
15:08The two have to prove it all right.
15:08The two have to prove it all right.
15:09The two have to prove it all right.
