We return from commercial to a packed Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The SNME Universe has packed the arena to the brim as they cheer for their favorite SNME superstars as SNME All-Stars continues. Just as the camera pans over to the titantron an unfamiliar blares through the PA system.
The crowd explodes as the music of the Georgia native, Cody Rhodes blares through the arena, but as Cody emerges from the back with a clear protective mask over his face. Rhodes makes his way to the ring wearing a leather hooded vest with "CR" embroidered on the back. Rhodes looks around the arena at the fans as he climbs to the top rope pausing to soak it all in. Rhodes hops down from the top rope and unzips his vest before reaching out of the ring to grab a microphone. Rhodes paces the ring before raising the microphone to speak in a deep imposing voice.
Rhodes: For those of you who don't know me my name is Cody Rhodes and I am the son of the "common man" Dusty Rhodes. I am the son of a man who claimed to be "The American Dream". A man who told you all that he represented you all in of his pursuits in this ring. A man who claimed that every championship and every accolade he won in this ring was for all of you as he lived the American Dream on his road to glory. He devoted his life to you people while his son sat at home and viewed his father on the television like some common fan.
The fans cheers about Dusty Rhodes and the debut of his son soon turn to boos. Rhodes just shakes it off as he paces the ring and runs his hands over his protective mask. Rhodes soaks in the boos and continues his speech.
Rhodes: I've had people tell me every day of my life that how great it must have been to be the son of such a "great" man. IT WASN'T GREAT IT WAS HELL!!!
Rhodes demeanor changes instantly as he is filled with rage. Rhodes throws off his hood and runs his hands through his hair as he attempts to calm himself.
Rhodes: For everything that my father did for you people I will do in spite of you people. I will become the Anti-American Dream, I will become "The American Nightmare". I will reveal to all of you the horrors of a neglected childhood and the results of the pursuit of the American Dream. I will make every single superstar in the back feel my pain. Tonight, I will start my Nightmare against two of SNME's up and coming stars. Tonight, I face Joey Michaels and the Bearded Dragon. Joey Michaels, there is nothing "Un-Orthodox" about you. You are nothing, but a generic high flyer and tonight I will reveal you as such. Now, for my other opponent...
Rhodes takes a deep breath and leans against the top rope choosing his words carefully. Rhodes attempts to find the words to describe the "Mind Bending Amish" and soon raises the microphone once again.
Rhodes: Bearded Uno, you are a complex individual and I see you as a tortured creature just like me. However, unlike me you have lost what little sanity that you ever had. That is an unfortunate disadvantage for you because while I am a tortured individual I am a focused and determined individual. I deserve to go down in the record books as a legend like my overly glorified father. I deserve to be a World Champion and I don't care who I have to go through to get there. So boys get down here so that I can Welcome you to my Nightmare.
Rhodesremoves his vest and waits in the ring for his opponents to enter the arena as he pulls on the ropes pacing like a caged lion.
