Week 1: April 2024
Opening Segment
Pyros, thunderous crowd howling over the show's opening theme music and salutations from the Michael Cole & Pat McAfee, a new era in WWE had fell upon everyone as Triple H's music hit. Without hesitation, the audience showered Triple H in adulation for the success of WrestleMania XL as creative majority while he made his way to the ring. After soaking it all in, Triple H goes on to announce history record statistics for WrestleMania, announcing the impending roster shakeup with the draft taking place tonight, and lastly calling out the new WWE Undisputed Heavyweight Champion, Cody Rhodes, to congratulate him. Both Cody and Triple H shared a celebratory hug before Cody's hand being raised in front of the audience.
As Triple H made his exit, the crowd focused in on Cody Rhodes, showering him with the well deserved adulation, chanting, "You deserve it!" over and over, and over. "So, Philadelphia... What do you want to talk about?", Cody would go on to ask the crowd. After talking about the main event of night two of WrestleMania XL, giving Roman Reigns his respect, he promised to be a more fighting champion to the title than Roman has ever been. Then queued the music of "The Final Boss", The Rock. The Rock saunters his way to the ring, reading the room as he does best before addressing Cody Rhodes, congratulating him, but also letting him know that he will be stepping away from WWE. Although The Rock is leaving, he guaranteed that he'll be back, as their business between each other is far from over. Finally, The Rock placed something not disclosed to the viewers, into the hand of Cody, warning him to never break his heart again...

[Just as the bell rung, the crowd erupts into a frenzy to celebrate Cody Rhodes' victory over Carmelo Hayes. As dissapointed Carmelo was of himself, Cody remained secured in his acknowledgement of Carmelo Hayes, praising his fight against him. Hayes would proceed to clear the ring to give grace to Cody and almost immediately, a figure came into view of the hard camera, knocking Cody out with one punch.]
McAfee: OH MY GOD!! WHO IS THAT!!??
Cole: No, wait a minute! That can't be... I remember him!
McAfee: Cole... Who is that? And why is he brutalizing our champion??
Cole: That's, that's... That's The Kidd... He must've been the one that was being referred to as "The Ox", but we haven't seen him in almost 19 years!! What is he doing here??
[While the majority of the crowd remained confused to whom the unknown assailant is, the stunned Cody tried to gather himself, panting heavily. But The Kidd would not relent, mounting Cody and continuously rained thumping fists one after another in his assault. The crowd would eventually begin to boo The Kid, children in the front row could be seen frozen or crying for their beloved champion to rise to his feet. But all that Cody could do was make the attempt to rise, rising his head, twitching and graveling in pain as blood leaked from his forehead, running down his face onto the canvas.]
McAfee: Cole, the WWE universe is shock right now, they don't know what to make of this.
Cole: I can't make anything of this either to why this is happening, why he is here.. What the hell is going on?
McAfee: Do you think Cody knows this guy?
Cole: It's possible. But whether Cody knows him or not, the question we want answered is: for what reason has brought this vicious attack on Cody?
[The Kidd remained methodical in his assault. Just as it was assumed that he was done, The Kidd shakes his head and slid out of the ring, searching under the ring to pull out a table. Having it set up in the ring, The Kidd would call for one final attack on Cody, slamming the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion through the table, leaving him limp in carnage. The Kidd slowly squats over Cody's body, speaking loud enough for the camera mic to pick up what was being said.]
"You've finished your story, Cody. It is my story that is now beginning..."
[With those final words spewed over Cody's unconscious body, The Kidd gazed into the WWE Universe as the show came to a close.]
