The Rock, Michael Cole and others in “Unfinished Business”

[taunting a downed Cody Rhodes with his "Mama Rhodes" belt] Get up, boy! [Suddenly, a familiar bell tolls, and the crowd erupts as the lights go out. After a pause, the bell tolls again and the lights come back on, revealing the Undertaker standing in the ring behind an unknowing Rock]

HOLY CHRIST! THE DEADMAN COMETH! [The Rock turns around in shock to see the Undertaker. After a brief standoff, The Rock tries to attack, but the Undertaker grabs him by the throat and delivers a powerful Chokeslam] CHOKESLAM!! Undertaker's back at WrestleMania! [The bell tolls one more time, and the lights go off again. After another pause, the lights come back on, and the Undertaker is gone]

Cody caught him! [Rhodes sets Reigns up for the Cross Rhodes] Rhodes, middle of the ring! [Rhodes delivers Cross Rhodes, but instead of covering him, he holds on to Reigns] Cross Rhodes! Cody's not done yet! [Rhodes delivers a second Cross Rhodes] Cody with another Cross Rhodes! [Still Rhodes does not let go of Reigns] Is he gonna do it? Can he do it? Is this a Rhodes moment?

NOOO! NOOOOO!

Come on, Cody! [Completely ignoring Heyman, Rhodes delivers a third Cross Rhodes] Cross Rhodes! Cover! [Rhodes covers Reigns and referee Charles Robinson counts three; Cole punctuates each count with the following] FINISHED... THE... STORY! [The crowd erupts wildly]

[through tears] Here is your winner… and the NEW… Undisputed WWE Champion: "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes!

Samantha Irvin, understandably, overcome with emotion.

We ALL are! We all are.

[The belt is handed to Rhodes as fans sing along to his music "Kingdom"; Cody's wife, Brandi, enters the ring and gives him a congratulatory kiss] For the first time ever, a Rhodes can call himself WWE Champion! Damn it, Cody Rhodes finished the damn story!

[moments later, as certain of Cody Rhodes' friends enter the ring to celebrate his win] Cody Rhodes has finally done what he set out to do. I've known this young man since he was a little boy. I saw him at a Hall of Fame speech where I knew that he was gonna be a star. He had "star" written all over him. I went through Internet shows with him; I had a damn Tag Team Championship match with him. He left here disgruntled, heartbroken, to go create his own story. And Cody Rhodes came back here as a Superstar. Cody Rhodes came back here and did something that his father, one of the greatest of all time, "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, could never accomplish. Cody Rhodes came back here and won the WWE Championship. Damn it, I love professional wrestling.

[moments later] Real quick. I know it's been a long night... I am... I am surrounded by greatness in this ring. I am surrounded by greatness in this stadium. There are two people I would not have been here. I would've literally never made it back to the WWE without one of them, I want him to come out here, and that's Bruce Prichard. And then the other, the other is pleading and kicking and doesn't want to come out here, but we have started a brand new era. He is the leader of that era, please, Triple H, come on down!
