He says that everything he and The Rock have to say is informative and has meaning, and that tonight is the most important night in WWE. The fans chant for Cody Rhodes, and Roman calls Cody "the guy who ruined everything" before declaring that tonight is the first night where it can be said that The Rock is a member of The Bloodline. The Rock heads to the ring, and after the commercial break, he states that he has some good news to share: he states that the fans in the arena tonight have broken an indoor attendance record for Salt Lake City as well as the state of Utah. He says that the record is for "the largest gathering of trailer park trash The Rock has ever seen," then announces that everyone and their 50 wives will have a story to tell to their 60 inbred children one day. The Rock says the fans have brought a side of him that has not been seen in years yet has always been within him all along, and that it is out because of him and Roman Reigns being in the best main event in WrestleMania history until the fans "flushed it down the toilet." After making fun of the fans for sitting on said toilet tweeting that Cody should finish his story, he asks what story Cody even has after Roman beat him last year, then asks the fans to apply the logic of Cody's story to this year's Super Bowl or Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls beating the Utah Jazz in 1998.The Rock says one does not get another shot at their story because they wanted it, then says the fans do not get it because they are "spoiled, entitled crybaby bitches" and that he will do everything in his power Cody Rhodes walks out of WrestleMania as a loser.
