to leave and he wants to have a heart to heart alone with
his dad and Dominik tells Rey the only hall of fame he
deserves to be in is the deadbeat dad hall of fame and at
the end of the day he should have been Eddie’s son. Dominik
then pushes Rey in the face and Rey falls toward the rope.
After challenging Rey to hit him, Dominik runs at Rey who
falls down pulling the ropes and Dominik goes flying to the
floor at the feet of the rest of the Judgement Day as Rey
stands in the ring yelling “I am not going to fight you, no
matter what you do.”

was your family. Jey then says the next problem is Cody
Rhodes and Cody’s music hits and Cody comes to the ring.
Cody says he keeps hearing his name so if you’re going to
talk about me you can just talk directly to me. Cody then
says the fans don’t want to hear us talk, they want to see
us fight, Jey tells him if he takes one more step he won’t
make it to WrestleMania. Sami Zayn sneaks in the ring and
