—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
DDP was shown stretching and doing DDP Yoga during the break.
Cody Rhodes comes down to the ring and addresses the stipulations that MJF has demanded, which also appear on the scream. Cody says he’s thinks MJF is afraid that fans will think MJF should be carrying Wardlow’s bags – not the other way around – when they finally see him in a match, so he wants to make him face Cody in a Cage Match right off the bat.
Cody says he has no issues with that or the lashes. “I don’t need to touch you until Revolution, Max, because I live rent free inside your head every day,” Cody says about the final stipulation. Cody says that MJF is stalling.
Cody makes fun of MJF’s rich childhood and says he clings to all of the “old timers” that boost him up by saying he is an “old school heel.” Cody says that less is more for MJF because he doesn’t have more.
Cody accepts all of the stipulations and says that he failed as a mentor to MJF but he can give him one final lesson when he gives MJF his “own god damn scar.”
