Cody Rhodes Promo
Rhodes comes out to address is impending matchup next Saturday against Kevin Owens, but he’s interrupted by Monday Night Raw’s Chad Gable and American Made. Made says that Nick Aldis reached out to him about the upcoming transfer window and that Rhodes isn’t the guy to look up to anymore because he’s not been a good friend to Owens.
Rhodes responds by saying he sees a lot of himself in Gable, reminding him he was Shorty G before Chad Gable and admitting that he was Stardust.

Offended, Rhodes tells Gable to go make the match happen.
