John Cena and Cody Rhodes reignited their feud on the latest episode of WWE RAW in London, exchanging heated words to the delight of the crowd. The reaction to Cena remained a mixed bag, while Rhodes basked in the applause as the crowd chanted his theme. Confronting criticisms about his oratory skills on the internet, Rhodes taunted Cena, daring him to make fun of his lisp and neck tattoo.
Rhodes alleged that Cena was dishonest in his prior speeches, causing Cena to retort that he would “bury” Rhodes just like the rest. Cena disclosed that Rhodes had formerly worked as his driver and accused him of spying and depending on clichéd gimmicks. He labeled Rhodes a “common fan” and a “nepo baby.”
Cody retaliated, describing Cena as a “company creation” and mentioned Vince McMahon as well as Cena’s erstwhile advocacy for The Rock. He went on to claim that he exhibited “more grit in this promo” than Cena does in his jorts, triggering the London fans to shout derogatory chants at Cena.
Cena stood up for his career legacy, declaring that no one has succeeded in taking him down and ridiculed Rhodes for quitting WWE to gain significance. He also snubbed Rhodes for capitalizing on a billionaire’s money, indirectly referring to Tony Khan.
Rhodes had the last say before Cena could exit, emphasizing that the fans never doubted his “wrestling skills.” Cena’s attempted assault was thwarted by Rhodes with a Cross Rhodes, thus concluding the intense segment.
