Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhodes will have his hands full when he heads to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel.

Cody Rhodes has had his hands full with The Judgment Day in recent months as he and Jey Uso have traded the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship with Finn Balor and Damian Priest. However, things have now moved into the realm of a big singles match on WWE Raw.

Rhodes and Priest opened the 23rd of October show by exchanging words before agreeing to meet one-on-one at Crown Jewel on November 4th. Priest, however, had a trick up his sleeve as once he and Rhodes began to brawl, Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh both appeared helping to subdue the American Nightmare.
