Cody tells Sami he is asking him to explain pro wrestling to him, which doesn't need to happen.  Cody says this was part of competition and you want him to turn it off?  You are wearing a new shirt that maybe he believes in more than Sami.  You want him to turn it off?  THey should not be standing.  Two years ago, at Wrestlemania 40, the biggest night of his career.

Sami says he was the first guy in the ring when you finished your story and won the title.  He says he was in there before Kevin Owens, Jey Uso, CM Punk, Randy Orton, or John Cena.  If anyone had sour grapes about you winning it should be him.  Sami says he is a good guy.  Sami says he was happy for Cody.  How many of those guys he mentioned are still your friends?  Is the problem all of them or you?  

Cody says everything is about change.  You have to be better than the day before.  When the title gets involved, he says he could not be as honest with them as he could with Sami.

Cody says he is taking all this fire for this BS.  They are booing you and chanting 'Sami Sucks' because you suck.  You are whining and crying.  You are not the Sami say they rode with.  You are desperate.  Let's not pretend it is about anything between them other than the title.  Cody says he is sorry.  He says he is sorry that he has this title because it means you never will.
