Cody asks Stephanie what does she want to talk about.
Stephanie says she wants to talk about Cody and Randy and Wrestlemania. She says Cody will not like what she has to say. You talked about where you used to sit at Center Stage in conversations and Stephanie points to where she sat. She says her, Cody, and Randy are multi-generational stars. She says they have all taken different paths to get where they are. You chose to take the golden path. You stayed true to yourself and you believe you can bring out the best in people and your opponents. You can't this time with this version of Randy Orton. This version of Randy Orton is diabolical. You don't have to be diabolical, but you have to think like that. You have to think like Randy. Your father knew that better than anybody. Dusty could get down and dirty with the best of them. Stephanie says that Cody is not his father. This version of Cody Rhodes cannot beat this version of Randy Orton. You have no idea who you are dealing with.
Cody says the last thing he would ever want is to be rude to Stephanie, but he does not know who Randy Orton is? He knows all about Randy. The youngest champion in history, the legend killer. He did things so vile that cannot be shown on television today and a lot fo that was to you. A lot of people want this student/teacher dynamic. That ended when he became a babysitter to make sure that Randy was breathing when Randy was drooling all over himself.
Do you want to bring up fathers? He says he is not his father, but you aren't your father either.
Stephanie slaps Cody and she says she is out here because she cares about Cody. No one is giving you guidance in this situation. You don't know what this Randy Orton needs. You are not the student. Randy isn't listening to the voices in his head. He is beckoning them. He controls them. He is listening to someone else as well. Unless you can think like Randy, you are going to lose that title. Wrestlemania will be the last time that Cody is introduced as the Undisputed WWE Champion.
