Cody Rhodes Suffers Attack From Surprise WWE Star After Raw
As the Royal Rumble grows nearer, it seems everyone wants to get their hands on Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
Several huge names including Roman Reigns, John Cena, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk have declared their entry into the 2025 Royal Rumble as they look to book their place in the main event of WrestleMania 41. It’s at this time of year that world champions will feel the target on their back live never before and Cody Rhodes certainly felt that on Raw in Atlanta.
The main event of that show saw Drew McIntyre defeat Sami Zayn for the 11th time in a row on WWE TV. After the match, McIntyre wasn’t done however as he continued his attack which drew out Cody Rhodes to try and make the save. Kevin Owens was on hand to attack Cody Rhodes and in the ensuing chaos, Rhodes was nailed by a Helluva Kick from Sami Zayn, something Owens seemed to appreciate.

After that, Cody Rhodes returned to his feet to talk about his upcoming title match against Kevin Owens only to be interrupted by CM Punk. Punk and Rhodes had a tense exchange as Punk vowed to stab Rhodes in the front when he went after his title.
The show ended with Punk and Rhodes in the ring but that’s not where the night ended in the arena. After Raw went off the air, Cody Rhodes was attacked by Carmelo Hayes who shared footage from his assault on social media.
What wasn’t shown in the video Hayes shared was the former NXT Champion retrieving a table only to end up getting powerbombed through it by The American Nightmare.
