The biggest threat to Seth Rollins probably isn't me,
it's probably Seth Rollins.
He is trapped in this pandemonium purgatory of his own design and
he is hell bent on pulling me in with him.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Let's take a little stroll that memory
lane stroll, 2012 Seth Rollins shows up to WWE Shield it up and
I would remember I was one of the bitter boys in the locker room.
Within months, he had won tag team gold, within a few years,
he had climbed the metaphorical and very real ladder in our sport.
He had won the WWE Championship, he had shattered the glass ceiling and for
skeptics like myself, he had proved there was a glass ceiling in the first place.
Seth Rollins won his way to the top.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> My story's a little different,
I didn't win.
No, I didn't win that much till recently.
Actually I lost, I scratched, I clawed,
I painted my face with a smile dead inside
looking up at the lights most nights but
the thing is I endured.
>> [APPLAUSE].
>> You learn so much from last, you learn how to live, how to love,
how to adapt, how to reinvent yourself.
The difference between a revolutionary interview and
actual revolutionary action and the number one thing that I learned.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> I'm never gonna be the American
dream so why not embrace the nightmare.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> To Seth Rollins his
embarrassment over losing two matches outweigh my quest for vindication.
If quest for vindication sounds hyperbolic here's another way to put it, my second
chance, everyone here tonight knows what it's like to get a second chance.
You don't take it for granted and if Seth Rollins intends
on denying me set second chance, buddy, you gonna have to kill me.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And I'm gonna give you the chance.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> I say we run it back,
I say we lock all that angst in here.
We leave it all on the map, I say we play for keeps.
What do you say, Rollins versus Rhodes for the third time but this time.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Inside Hell in a Cell.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> So let me get this straight Cody,
trying to steal my spotlight at WrestleMania that wasn't enough for you.
No, no,
cheating to beat me at WrestleMania Backlash that wasn't enough for you.
One little stop on the announced desk and now you're begging,
pleading with Seth freaking Rollins for one more go around.
[LAUGH] this time inside
Hell in a Cell.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Cody,
you must be stupider than you look.
That is the biggest mistake you've ever made in your entire life.
Anyone who's ever stepped foot in
that cell with me is changed forever.
[LAUGH] you already know my answer,
I am going to exploit every one of your insecurities and
I am going to expose you for the fraud that you are.
Rollins versus Rhodes
three, I accept [LAUGH].
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Well,
I guess there's nothing left to say other than, I'll see you in hell.
>> [APPLAUSE]
