After a brief opener about Adam22’s account of attending Drake’s birthday party with Lena the Plug, Rhodes joins the crew. He explains why he rerecorded his podcast episode with Chelsea Green, what John Cena gave the wrestlers he invited to the Classic, and how he earned his first Ribera Steakhouse jacket in Japan. Rosenberg previews WWE’s Dec. 14–15 events near Orlando, the John Cena Classic and Worlds Collide: Doomsday.

Rhodes talks about making tailored suits part of his WWE look and remembers the backstage WrestleMania party where he and Santino Marella put on a bodybuilding show. He explains why he considers his WrestleMania match with Rey Mysterio a turning point, then walks through the decision to face Rollins while injured and the recovery that followed.
