Cody Rhodes: "I keep hearing these warnings from Mr. Heyman, that I should stay out of Bloodline business. Well I reiterate: I do not work for The Bloodline, and I don't work for Mr. Heyman, so if I want to come out here, stand side-by-side with Sami Zayn, I can do that. If I want to come out here and fight alongside Kevin Owens, I can do that. And I also hear Mr. Heyman say, 'Don't make this personal...' Don't make it personal?! What a joke! It has been personal since I first appeared on this show at 21 years old in front of these same cameramen! It's personal when week after week I'm choked up fighting back tears with every sentence, it's personal when you wear a protective coat of armor, and I'm not talking about my robe, I'm talking about a tailored suit, and the reason I wear it is not because I think I am somebody, it's because I wanna be somebody.

Mr. Heyman talking about 'acknowledging' Roman Reigns... I acknowledge you, damn it. You need to acknowledge ME. I am not perfect but my time since I came back to the WWE has been perfect; I am undefeated. I grew up thinking that I was a prince in this industry, but I've got no crown, no chip, no master sword, no Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, and on April 2nd...On April 2nd, when the sun goes down on Hollywood, it is going down on Roman Reigns generational run; on April 2nd...on April 2nd, it's not just those who've got the Rhodes and the Runnels blood pumping through their veins, it's every single person who has followed me until the end. On April 2nd - I have waited my whole life, I will wait no more - on April 2nd, Roman Reigns, I pin you, I stick you in this ring, and become the first Rhodes to ever say he is the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion!"
