Cody Rhodes is ready to play the game.
The Seth Rollins Vs. Cody Rhodes rematch will finally happen this coming Monday at the upcoming Wrestlemania Backlash premium-live-event streaming live on Peacock in USA and WWE Network elsewhere. The highly anticipated rematch was made official 3 weeks ago on WWE Raw when Seth Rollins mentioned how Cody had a slight unfair advantage over him at Wrestlemania.
He said that since Rhodes came in as a surprise opponent, he wasn’t mentally prepared for that. Using this as a viable point, Rollins claimed a rematch against Rhodes which was later made official after the American Nightmare accepted the challenge within a blink of an eye. On this week’s episode of Raw, Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins held a self-proclaimed Appreciation Night segment for himself which was rudely interrupted by Cody Rhodes when Rollins was about to roll his career retrospective on the titantron.
Both men got engaged in a fury of words with Seth taking it personal to Cody after mentioning disrespectful comments about his late great father, Dusty Rhodes. He said that Dusty wanted to be a world champion in WWE but he wasn’t that good enough to do so and as long as I’m here, you are not good enough either. Moments after saying this, Rollins started pumelling Rhodes but he fought back with a flurry of punches and later executed a Cody Stunner to end the segment. Rollins quickly retreated from the ring afterwards.
After Raw went off-air, Cody Rhodes had some strong words to say about Mr. Visionary on Raw Talk as he went on to say that he’s been very professional till now with everyone, but Rollins crossed the line on Raw. He also indicated that Seth will receive the same treatment he got back in April at Wrestlemania 38. Cody ended his talk by saying “I’m ready to play the game”.
