He tells Cody he’s earned the respect of Roman Reigns, he’s had a great title run. He shares that Reigns wants his title back by winning the Royal Rumble Match and facing him again at Wrestlemania.

Just as Cody is about to speak Kevin Owens interrupts him from the crowd.

Kevin Owens:
He says when things couldn’t get worse Cody shook hands with The Rock on Raw and now Paul Heyman. He questions why and maybe it’s because Rock kissed his ass. But now because Cody teamed with Roman and didn’t let The Bloodline rip him to shreds, Roman wants his title back which will be bad for the company.

Cody drops his title and goes to fight Owens in the crowd.

Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga appear in the ring and intimidate Paul Heyman. Jimmy Uso comes out to Heyman’s aid and fights them off but Fatu takes him out. Cody Rhodes helps Jimmy and brawls with Fatu and stands tall.
