Cody Rhodes face-to-face with Kevin Owens
Nick Aldis welcomes everyone to the show before they play a hype video for the week-long tour of Germany. He then welcomes Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens to the ring for their face-off. KO asks what Cody wants to talk about, and Cody says ‘this championship right here.’ Cody says it looked like KO was going to hit him with the title from behind last week, and feels like it needs to be said. KO gets it, but everyone that he attacked deserved it… except for Kofi. KO apologizes to Kofi, then asks how Cody could think he’d do that, considering how close they are.
KO brings up Cody’s knee not being 100%, and Cody asks what this is all about. If he doesn’t want the title shot… KO cuts him off on the spot. KO points out Cody didn’t take a knee during his entrance, then brings up the eight-year anniversary of his first title win. He says that victory was tainted and people said Triple H gave it to him. Owens then says what happens if Cody is not 100% tomorrow and he wins the title?
Cody takes issue with KO saying “when” he wins the title, then talks about KO being angry about circumstances. He loves KO and he’s one of Cody’s actual friends in wrestling, but he has a question; will they still be friends after Cody wins at Bash In Berlin?
Owens drops the mic, whispers something to Cody before walking out.
