WWE: Unreal

Man, that's cool.

This place is great.

Well, we're at the WWE Warehouse,

the hallowed ground.

This is where we keep our history.

I hope more guys get to come out here and see it.

It kind of puts it in perspective for me

that I'd like to be able to add my own thing.

The history is… is plentiful. I mean, these aren't small items.

This is Steiner Brothers' letter jacket just hanging right here.

Dusty Rhodes' robe, ring worn.

Ultimate Warrior denim, just, uh, this one's, uh, a deep cut,

"Stunning" Steve Austin.

These things feel like they were worn yesterday,

but in some cases it's 30, 40 years ago, and… goes like that.

There's things moving in and out of this place.

- It's just a giant No Holds Barred. - Yeah.

And, by the way,

the original airbrush painting for WrestleMania I , no big deal.

- This is the OG? - Yeah, that's the original painting.

In the course of the build for WrestleMania ,

it feels like it's meant to be.

I have to win this match against Drew to get another WrestleMania main event.

Cody! Cody! Cody! Cody!

Cody, Cross Rhodes!

One, two, three!

Cody's going to WrestleMania .

Randy Orton, you have your opponent for Vegas.

Randy and I have a lot of history both inside and outside the ring.

My very first match on TV was with Randy.

I'm in these, like, John Deere green trunks.

- He just beats me half to death. - One, two, three!

After that, I was part of his faction,

that being Legacy.

And now he's the one vying for my championship.

That's cool.

It's one thing to see the Dusty robe.

I'd feel like I didn't do good if I didn't have anything of my own,

right, to share?

- You got a section for me? - I mean, for you…

Dude, holy smokes.

- Recognize these? - Where'd you get these?

- Man, I got goosebumps on these ones. - I… They've just… They've…

- I mean, you know what that's from. - Yeah.

This is my first real WrestleMania in Phoenix with Randy, Ted.

- I wasn't supposed to be in the match. - No kidding.

Randy made the call to put me in it to make it the triple threat.

Gosh.

- Felt like we were linked forever. - Mm-hmm.

He was incredibly helpful to me.

Really great mentor, a really great opponent.

Orton lashes out at his former pupil.

I think about all the great wrestling things that Randy's taught me.

From functional stuff to psychological stuff,

like waiting until the crowd is fully swelled

before executing the punt.

Orton punts Cody Rhodes.

And as we go to WrestleMania , same guy across the ring.

It seems, like, meant to be.

Now to sign the contract for the main event of WrestleMania ,

the WWE Championship is on the line.

What we do is violent.

Randy!

I think often you have to remind the audience of how violent it can be.

Randy Orton has absolutely snapped.

Orton's just lining up his head in the midst of the steel steps crevice.

What happened at the Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes contract signing

was old school.

- Oh no! Oh, watch out! - Oh God! Oh, watch out, Cody!

And we put ourselves in a good place

to tell a personal story going into WrestleMania .

We need medical!

Let's empty the pockets. It is the WrestleMania main event.

Going into WrestleMania this year,

it, as always, comes with its own unique set of challenges.

All that said,

when you really break down this card for both nights,

it's stellar.

We've got a story we've been building towards

that is playing out extremely well,

which is Stephanie Vaquer versus Liv Morgan.

Hi, how are you? I'm Liv. Nice to meet you, Brian.

It's okay. I'm okay. I'm still pretty, right?

- Right? Still pretty, right? - Yeah.

He's like, "No."

- -

Stephanie and I are the most physical I've ever been since I've been in WWE.

Stephanie and Liv.

This thing has gotten so deeply personal.

- Somebody separate them! -

Two weeks before WrestleMania , Stephanie shoved me from behind.

Do you understand that?

Look, Liv--

- -

The sound that it made was literally disgusting.

Everyone was reacting pretty severely around me.

They were horrified.

She shoved me into Roxanne. We smashed heads really hard.

I just lay down there for a couple extra seconds

just to kind of gather myself.

I really didn't know what the damage was.

I didn't wanna look at it.

I went to go put my hand on my head… …and I was like, holy shit.

I keep forgetting I have it,

and I've noticed people are staring at me extra hard

and I'm like, oh shit.

It's still squishy. It's still there.

It doesn't hurt anymore. The blood is draining to my eyes.

Um, I wake up every single day and have a reminder

of why the fuck I gotta kick her ass.

We're three days away.

I still feel really calm, which is, like, uh, interesting to me.

I think that's how locked in I am.

I'm not even nervous right now.

I'm sure I will be, though, as soon as I get there.

I can't believe I'm gonna…

do a performance of my WrestleMania…

my first WrestleMania singles match for a championship.

If anyone was gonna do it, it's gonna be you.

- So bizarre. So bizarre. -

I feel good about both though.

It took me 11 years

to get my very first title match to headline WrestleMania .

And I'm ready to perform my entrance live.

We just wanted new music, and they asked would I sing it?

I'm like, "I'm not a singer, but for sure, I'll give it my best."

That turned into, "You're gonna perform it live at WrestleMania, bitch."

It makes me feel good that my coworkers are singing it

whether they want to or not, just because it's stuck in their heads.

- Crushed it. - Trouble, trouble!

- Hey-o. - Yeah.

- Hon, do you like it? - Okay, yes! We had the best time!

- She has it on a loop. - I'm so happy!

- Trouble, trouble! - That's me!

- I'm so excited! It's the best. Ah! - It's so good! It's so good.

- Like, I actually do like it. - Oh! God.

- Are you crying? - She cried. She did.

- Are you crying? - It was super. Breathtaking.

You brought a tear to Eva's eye

Is it better than Nickelback?

It's okay. We got everything back there, guys.

- Everything's better. - Did you like it?

It's my first WrestleMania .

I'm not nervous.

It's weird because I'm nervous all the last week and the last month.

And today I feel more focused.

- It's good, anyway? - Yeah.

- Okay. Ah! - It's good.

- I never-- - What you doing?

- I'll go and change right now. - Come on, let's go.

- - I'll be back!

My shoulder, it feels fine. It doesn't feel like my shoulder.

Like, it doesn't feel like my other shoulder. It doesn't feel…

It's certainly not 100% going in.

What percentage it is, I really won't know

until I get in there tonight with Gunther and do the thing.

It reminds me a lot of when I came back from my MCL

in Orlando, WrestleMania 33 , when I had to wrestle Triple H.

Reminds me a lot of that feeling, but I had a brace with that. You know?

And so I knew, like, you could smash it all day long and

it's braced. There's nothing that's gonna happen.

This one, it's, like, you just do more with your body. So we'll see.

Gunther against Seth Rollins is big enough on its own.

But what people don't know is also in this match,

Bron Breakker will make his big surprise return.

We're hidden in a room in Allegiant Stadium here at WrestleMania .

Trying to keep quiet, keep a low profile so nobody finds out or leaks it I'm here.

There's gonna be a ton of room, I think,

where you can hit him and land on the pad, and see, it's flat from there.

Oh, it's carpet all the way.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, so for example, he's roughly there at most.

So you can burst or have that extra football speed.

And we'll have him be at the tape, and you'll see him.

I'm gonna hit him, then we're gonna slide and…

Here, it's in the distance.

Yeah, the LED wall is gonna have to stop us.

- You feel comfortable? - Yeah.

- I'll tell him right there, then. - I'm game.

- Solid, baby. Thank you. - Yes. Thank you, brother.

Feel like our product is shifting at the moment.

Since some of the new talent has been brought up,

I haven't really been part of, like…

haven't really been with them.

See how the audience receives me.

I dunno, I just hope they haven't forgot about me. We'll see.

Go, AJ Lee!

- What up, brother? - Oh!

- - He's suing!

My God, that scared the bejesus out of me.

I was like, "My God, you hit someone. You're gonna get sued."

I've never had a singles match at WrestleMania .

And, uh, I have never been more excited for anything than I was for the entrance.

Being able to have just the AJ Legion of girls skip out there.

- Hi, everybody. - Hi.

- How's everybody doing? - Good.

You… you all look adorable. This is great.

- Thank you. - Thanks for helping out.

- I hope you guys have fun, okay? - Thank you.

From day one, I thought of my fans.

I wanted to create an image that they could easily recreate.
