03:09So, Detroit! What do you guys want to talk about? This past Monday I was out here doing some talking and I was interrupted by The Rock.
03:39As his music hit and he strolled out here, I was thinking about somebody I know, somebody who happens to be from Detroit and what would they say?
04:08And I think it went a little something like this, who the hell told you tonight was open mic night, bitch?
04:23Forgive me for cursing. I don't know what's gotten into me.
04:32I can tell you when Rock was in here, the air got a little colder. The mood certainly changed. He placed an item in my hand. I instantly knew what it was.
04:43It was a wartime overture, if you will. Something that I had gifted to The Rock.
04:51It was uncomfortable. It was awkward.
04:58But I believed The Rock when he said that he was going off to Hollywood and I believed him even more when he said that he would be coming back here and when he did, he would be looking for me.
05:10Well, Rock, you do not have to look very far. I will be standing right here.
05:17But that's in the rear view. We need to look forward. Three weeks from now, I'm going to hop on a plane and I am going to fly to the first of our international premium live events, Backlash, in Lyon, France.
05:41And I am going to face one of the six competitors you see here tonight. It could be Santos Escobar.
05:55It could be Rey Mysterio. It could be the fastest rising star in all of WWE, L.A. Knight.
06:13Yes. Can't talk about L.A. Knight without talking about AJ Styles.
06:28AJ and myself, two of the only four men who were ever NWA champion and WWE champion.
06:42Then there's Bobby Lashley.
06:52Bobby Lashley.
06:59And of course, I can't leave out my friend, Kevin Owens.
07:05Like all friends who happen to be wrestlers, Kevin thinks he is better than me, bell to bell. I think I am better than him. Sometimes there's only one way to find out.
07:21If you'll forgive me for a moment, it's not lost on me that we are very sold out here tonight.
07:41I'm going to briefly turn my back on this camera because I want to see everybody in here tonight.
07:51This is all so fresh for me. I am no longer the hunter, but I am the hunted.
08:13And my message for those six competitors here tonight, if you come at the king, you best not miss.
08:25For those on the blue brand, on SmackDown, who claim to be unfamiliar with me, I will make it easy for you.
08:35My name is Cody Rhodes, once undesirable, become undeniable, and now you're undisputed WWE champion.
08:53What an incredible show of respect and adulation for the new torchbearer, the new undisputed WWE champion, The American Nightmare.
