As Uso made his way to the ring this week on RAW to cut his first promo on the red brand since leaving his Bloodline family behind, Michael Cole noted that Rhodes was once an EVP and was able to get things done.
This is a rare AEW reference from Michael Cole, who has seemingly been given a lot more freedom on RAW in recent months. Cody Rhodes hasn't yet appeared on this week's episode of the show, but it seems that he was able to pick up on the reference and reacted to it on Twitter.
