00:04You are our family.
00:30Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the American Nightmare.
00:58Cody Rhodes!
01:04Wade, let's go back to last week.
01:06Cody's contract signing moment that put to rest any thought of what he's willing to do to take his gold back from John Cena.
01:14I am not going to be at SummerSlam.
01:18I am emotionally exhausted.
01:21And we all feel that it is best I do not physically compete at SummerSlam.
01:26Cody, thank you so much. I appreciate you. You are going to get that rematch.
01:31Good night, San Antonio.
01:33Well, thankfully for Planet Earth, Cody saw things a little differently.
01:39Jumping Cena in the R way before Cena turned things around only for Cody to get back on top and finally pull the trigger.
01:50Before dumping the carcass of Cena through a table, leaving him in a heap.
01:56Check the fine print at SummerSlam.

02:45Yesterday,
03:05WWE and pro wrestling lost one of its giants in Hulk Hogan.
03:12And I know emotions and feelings regarding it are complicated.
03:19But what is not complicated is his accomplishments and
03:23his contributions to WWE, to sports entertainment, to pro wrestling,
03:28to entertainment as a whole.
03:30They are staggering and they are indisputable.
03:33So
03:39as someone who gets to stand here and say that I'm a WWE superstar,
03:44he was the original and I just want to take a moment to say thank you Hulk Hogan.
03:50Now Cleveland there are street fights and
04:02then there's what's going to happen at SummerSlam.
04:08We're not talking about virtue.
04:13We're not talking about victory, we're talking about violence.
04:20Because that's what virtue demands.
04:24Sometimes doing the right thing doesn't look like the right thing.
04:28Last week John Cena saw that he'll get plenty more at MetLife Stadium.
04:33But here's the tricky thing, I don't want to wrestle this John Cena.
04:44I don't want to fight a guy who didn't even want this match in the first place.
04:53I don't want to fight a guy who's counting the days until he's out the door.
04:58No, at SummerSlam, I want to fight the real John Cena.
05:05Because if I'm gonna stand here and
05:11own it, I need to know that I can go through the very best.
05:15And the title that John Cena has, it's the biggest title in our game.
05:19It means he is the very best.
05:22This isn't about nostalgia.
05:24This isn't about headlines.
05:26This is about a once in a generation superstar.
05:29Someone who redefined what it is to be a pro wrestler.
05:32So John Cena, if this is your last SummerSlam, come like it is your first.
05:38I want you up there talking to Stu the cameraman.
05:42I want you wearing the title the right way.
05:45I want you running to the ring.
05:48I want all the hustle.
05:49I want all the loyalty and the respect.
05:52We can beat it out of each other.
06:00Thank you for coming.
06:07Thank you for coming.
06:41The reason for wanting that fight against the real John Cena is because I need to know.
06:57I need to know that this story that we have all been part of is not just fantasy,
07:04is not just legacy.
07:06I need to know that it meant something, that it was real.
07:12And the only person who has the answer to that question is you, John Cena.
07:17I'll see you next week.
07:23So, Cody doesn't want what he says this version of John Cena is.
07:31He wants the real John Cena.
07:33And we're gonna get it in a street fight at SummerSlam.
07:37Yeah, this is a Cody Rhodes who is laser-focused, locked in.
07:41You see that look in his eye.
07:43There is something burning deep inside.
07:46Cody Rhodes, this man wants the very best because he believes he is the very best.
07:51And we're gonna find out.
07:53SummerSlam...
