Drew McIntyre walks out of a white truck and Nick Aldis stops him with security. They argue and Drew says he won at War Games, he’s not suspended. Aldis tells him he is still suspended and to leave.

Cody leaves and walks towards the ring as his music plays. Cody tells Aldis that he needs him to reinstate Drew McIntyre. He says that Drew broke an unwritten rule of this sport when he broke into his truck where his wife sleeps and his kids sleep. He says Drew is WWE’s resident cockroach. The fans chant “Cody” and he says what just happened might have been in a parking lot, in a Church, in Drew’s house, California or all over the lone star state. But it should be in a WWE ring.
