He showed footage of a little girl crying and saying that she was never going to watch Moana again as well as another girl who thought that Cody Rhodes died. The Rock said that it broke his heart he had to drop some wisdom on them: "Sometimes, a man has to do what he has to do when people talk sh*t like Cody did to him."
The Rock added that now, pro wrestling was cool again and the ratings have skyrocketed, thanks to him. He then said that he didn't come alone and was joined by Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. Roman said that it was always about family for him and that this was going to be the easiest WrestleMania of his life thanks to The Rock.
Roman said that they would easily win the tag team match and the Bloodline Rules are going to ensure that Reigns keep the title on Night 2. Roman thanked the Final Boss once more for kicking Cody's a** and said that he wouldn't be taken off the top of the mountain that easily.
Seth Rollins showed up and said that last week The Rock crossed a line and now the Heavyweight Champ was ready for a fight. Seth wanted to face The Rock alone to get revenge and if he declined, Rollins would face Roman instead and would accept any stipulation.
The Rock called him a punk and said that he gave Cody brain damage last week. Dwayne said that he knew Rollins was crazy and they didn't want to face him but Solo Sikoa did, in a Bloodline Rules match. The Visionary accepted the match before RAW moved on.
