IN RING SEGMENT
The Grayson Waller Effect. Special guest Cody Rhodes.
Waller interrupted Rhodes’ ring entrance routine. Then harped on Rhodes saying, he is conceited individual and makes everything about himself. Also, that Rhodes wasn’t really a good friend to Randy Orton or Kevin Owens. Rhodes fired back at Waller and stated that if anyone was a phony friend, that was using their friend to get ahead, it was Waller. At that time Austin Theory (who was standing behind Waller looking at himself posing in the monitor) ears perked up and was now interested in what was being said. Waller became defensive and shut Rhodes down by now turning his attention to the history of Owens past backstabs, on several supposed friends. Waller had a video montage of Owens turning on people like Kofi Kingston, Zane, etc. Right after the video was done playing Owens came to ringside and basically said, there were reasons things went down with those guys and at the time they deserved it. He then called for Nick Aldis and requested a tag team match tonight. Aldis, of course, came out and made the match official.
