Rhodes says Gable has a lot to lose because what happens when Gable fails again. If Cody learned anything from WrestleMania 39 is that he could only look in the mirror and what happens when you go for the end game and you don’t get it. Gable says he is supposed to be the leader for his group, what will happen if he fails. Gable cuts him off and he says if he didn’t have his suit on, he would whoops Cody’s ass.
