WWE RAW, 2nd September - 5 talking points

2. Cody Rhodes’s wedding gift

Rhodes was backstage complaining about Triple H which the latter didn’t take too sportingly. Instead, he put the dashing superstar in a match against Orton and to make matters worse, put his contract on the line in the match. Cody lost the match to Orton and was immediately fired by Triple H.

The best part of this segment came when Cody spoke backstage before being escorted out of the arena. His promo was compelling and deserved to be praised.

He looked emotional while speaking about his father and brother and how WWE had managed to make a mockery out of them. It was a solid performance inside the ring followed by a great backstage promo.

Anyway, the reason Cody is out of WWE now is due to his marriage and his need to spend some quality time with his new wife.

However, Cody’s absence will hurt Damien Sandow who is without any sort of relevance now. Not sure what we will see Sandow doing next.
