00:01Three weeks to Cody Rose.
00:03Hold on, hold on.
00:04What is that?
00:13It is Cody.
00:15Cody is here at SmackDown.
00:22Cody Rose has arrived.
00:26The American nightmare.
00:3014 days removed from one of the worst beatings we've ever seen.
00:38I mean, we don't know what physical condition Cody is in.
00:43Certainly looks laser focused, but I've got to be honest with you, Joe Tess.
00:48Based on what we just saw happen to Matt Cardona, I think those security guards need to redouble
00:55their effort to try and prevent Cody coming anywhere near this ring.
00:59I see targets for him, I hear forces for him, I feel justice for him.
01:08Rhodes makes his way through the backstage.
01:13Video cameras were capturing the arrival of Cody's bus and his entrance into the back of
01:19the arena as Randy took note after that beating and victory over Matt Cardona.
01:28There is something dark behind the eyes of Cody Rhodes.
01:36Cody Rhodes, bearing in mind the vicious beatdown his formerly great friend Randy Orton issued to him two weeks ago.
01:45Very little in the way of updates on the health or whereabouts of Cody Rhodes until Jelly Roll broke the
01:52news that he was heading here.
01:55Clearly the ire of Cody Rhodes' frustrations and anger is stuck in the center of the ring after just decimating
02:05poor Matt Cardona here on SmackDown.
02:24And there is his friend Jelly Roll.
02:30And I just have a sense of severe foreboding about what is about to happen here on SmackDown.
02:37It feels like one of those moments before disaster strikes.
02:45Oh, meanwhile security was trying to control Randy Orton almost preemptively and instead Orton just dismisses them.
03:15Incredible scene here on SmackDown.
03:17Randy Orton in the middle of the ring as he saw the arrival of Cody Rhodes.
03:2314 days removed from the brutal beating of the undisputed champion that he doled out.
03:29Cody Rhodes returns.
03:43And now you can see Nick Aldis and security trying to contain him.
03:47And now you can see the
04:03He gives them that assurance.
04:26They're not talking, they're not talking.
04:30Center of the ring, blows, punch after punch, kick after kick.
04:34Cannot believe that anyone was buying the talk line.
04:37These are major reprisals from Cody Rose coming away of Randy Orton after that
04:43heinous assault a couple of weeks ago.
04:47Security guards trying to get some control, absolutely no chance, lads.
04:54Security trying to tear them apart.
04:57Who knows where this one is gonna go.
05:01Cody sending security everywhere as he dumps Randy.
05:05Oh the steel chair is back and Cody denies it and lands a huge right hand.
05:09Well this is a Cody Rose completely frenzied furious and who can claim it.
05:18Cody is all over Randy.
05:20There's just no way to get away from the WWE champ.
05:25Looks like a man possessed.
05:30Come on guys, come on guys.
05:32Now grab to his eyes as he gets it down onto the desk.
05:35Come on, come on, come on.
05:39Finally some separation and a bit of control.
05:44Finally a little respite for Randy Orton.
05:47Clearly worth for wear here.
05:51But in whole pursuit now blocked by these security guards.
05:56Cody Rhodes has not had his pound of flesh.
06:06And now Orton freeing himself of the guards.
06:11Absolute mayhem here at ringside.
06:13Oh!
06:14Just do not have enough security guards or officials to get a grip on this thing.
06:21Big body shot by Rhodes.
06:24Right hand after right hand.
06:25Two weeks removed from when a steel chair was smashing down on his head.
06:30Yeah, and I wonder how much Randy Orton regrets that now.
06:34The American nightmare.
06:36The undisputed champ.
06:40Taking it right to his WrestleMania title challenger.
06:51Cody's free!
06:54Cody Rhodes absolutely ferocious in these attacks on Randy Orton.
07:00There may be no holding back the WWE champ.
07:04Randy, welcome to your worst nightmare.
07:07Randy who collapsed down to his seat.
07:09All of a sudden it's Randy Orton who now is on top of Cody.
07:17Randy!
07:18Randy!
07:19Randy!
07:20Randy!
07:21Randy!
07:21The intensity just broiling over here in Pittsburgh.
07:24Complete pandemonium here.
07:27In the ring, in the arena.
07:29Randy Orton perhaps has had enough, but no!
07:32He comes!
07:33Oh no!
07:37Referee's security being set flying everywhere.
07:40And Orton just dropping anyone who comes near.
07:43He comes near with him with the exception of Cody Rhodes.
07:48Oh no!
07:52Oh no!
07:53Oh no!
07:54Oh no!
07:57Oh no!
07:58Oh no!
07:59Oh no!
08:02Oh no!
08:04Randy Orton!
08:05Nothing is off limits between these two.
08:08As you said, wanting that pound of flesh.
08:11Two weeks of stewing.
08:14Two weeks of recovery.
08:15And now this.
08:19Randy Orton would be a hasty retreat now, but that is not how Orton is built.
08:26Not this version of the Viper.
08:28The amount of right hands that have been landed flush as security continues to try their best to pull apart
08:36these two.
08:37For their best is not good enough, Joe Tess.
08:42Two men who two weeks ago were discussing each other as brothers.
08:46Oh, how things have changed.
08:49Cody said he wanted this version of Randy.
08:53He wanted it in Vegas.
08:54He's gotten it early.
08:56And Cody more than welcomes delivering it back.
09:03I mean, these two must be absolutely exhausted, completely burning themselves out.
09:10Yet every time they lock eyes, a new level of energy becomes unlocked.
09:19This is gonna be a long three weeks before WrestleMania here on SmackDown.
09:28Jelly Roll, as things have settled down, Jelly Roll has now entered the ring.
09:33Of course, close with both men.
09:47Playing mediator here is Jelly Roll.
09:49Someone has to play the peacemaker, Joe.
09:51Randy and Cody.
09:52Randy is punching security guards again.
09:55Christian!
09:55Oh, an RKO on Jelly!
10:06A Viper Strike on Jelly Roll!
10:13This is procre speaking to you.
10:26the peacemaker with good intentions just got dropped
10:32it tells you exactly what friendships are worth to Randy Orton at this point in time
10:39he said I can't be held responsible for what happens
10:43now concern for jelly roll 22 days to mania 22 days to this volcano erupting and
10:53deciding each man's now and each man's forever Randy and Cody
11:14you
