Cody wants to know what he took from Seth Rollins, as he did not dilute a legacy or cross a personal line, and says that Rollins' biggest threat is himself, as he is stuck in a purgatory of his own design and is bent on pulling him in with him. He talks about Rollins' rise in WWE while he was on his way out, saying that Rollins proved there was a glass ceiling in the first place as he won his way to the top while he endured being Stardust. He says that one learns to love and reinvent from loss, and the number one thing he has learned is that he will never be "The American Dream" while asking why he should not embrace the nightmare. Cody says that he lost his way to the top, then asks if Seth will not give him a second chance after two losses, then Seth will have to kill him and that he will have to kill him in a third match in Hell In A Cell. Rollins is then seen backstage on the TitanTron, and Rollins says stealing his spotlight and cheating to beat him was not enough before asking him for one more match in Hell In a Cell. He says Cody is stupider than he looks and that he has made the biggest mistake of his life, as anyone who faces him in that match is changed forever. Rollins says that he will exploit his insecurities and expose him as the fraud that he is. He then accepts Cody's challenge, then Cody tells Rollins that he will see him in Hell.
