Cody begins by deciphering Dominik's intentions, implying that he understands what the young Mysterio was trying to achieve. With a touch of sarcasm, Cody welcomes everyone to Raw, mirroring Dominik's earlier attempt.
Rhea interrupts, declaring that Cody can try to intimidate Dominik all he wants, but Dominik is a formidable opponent.
Although Dominik tries to speak up, his words are drowned out by a chorus of boos from the audience. He leans in and whispers something to Rhea, who then announces that Dominik will demonstrate just how dangerous he can be against Cody.

Abruptly, Cody Rhodes' entrance theme echoes throughout the arena, signaling his arrival. Cody confidently strides towards the ring, while Dominik positions himself behind Rhea on the apron.
