Cody Rhodes has turned into a fan favorite since his return to WWE. The American Nightmare suffered his second pinfall loss on the latest edition of RAW but continued to spread smiles after the show.
Rhodes took on Drew McIntyre in an action-packed match on the latest episode of RAW. The two men had an epic contest before Solo Sikoa interfered and attacked Cody with the Samoan Spike.
The attack allowed Drew McIntyre to lay out Cody Rhodes with a Claymore Kick for the pinfall win. It was only the second time Cody was pinned since returning to WWE in 2022. His first pinfall loss came against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, where Sikoa delivered a Samoan Spike to The American Nightmare in order to help The Tribal Chief.
Later in the night, Jimmy Uso cost Jey Uso his Intercontinental Championship match against Gunther. Jimmy and Solo continued to beat down the ten-time WWE champion before Cody Rhodes and CM Punk came out after the show went off-air.
