– Cody Rhodes kicked off tonight’s RAW and talked about his Men’s Royal Rumble 2023 victory. He talked about the first line in his theme song – “Wrestling has more than one royal family”. This leads to him talking about The Bloodline and “The Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns.
A “Roman Sucks” chant breaks out. Cody then made a big claim:
“At WrestleMania, Roman Reigns can be the biggest superstar, but one thing he will not be is the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.”
The Judgment Day then interrupted him. Finn Balor asked Cody if he’s going to steal all his stuff again. Dominik Mysterio talks about Cody ruining his moment at the Royal Rumble.
Dominik said Cody put his hands on him, and if he did it in Jail then he would’ve got “done”. Damian Priest then called Cody “the golden boy”.
Cody asked Dominik if he’s trying to “scare him straight”. Cody then challenged any one of them to a match tonight. It was revealed later that it will be Cody vs. Finn.
Edge then came out and brawled with Judgment Day.
