After making his return to WWE at Wrestlemania 38, Cody Rhodes opened the April 4th 2022 edition of RAW and cut a promo about wanting to win the WWE Title for his father Dusty.
According to Fightful Select, Cody’s promo was originally going to close the show…
“On Monday, the Cody Rhodes segment was scripted to go on last, even appearing internally as such until about a little after 7 PM EST. We weren’t told a reason the Cody and [Roman] Reigns segments were flipped.”
Steve Carrier of RingsideNews.com also noted the following about Seth Rollins’ interruption of the promo…
“Here’s an interesting note about the script for RAW last week. It had 2 choices for end of Cody’s return segment ‘Seth Rollins extends his hand for a handshake,’ and ‘Cody, without hesitation, Shakes Seth’s hand.’ Rhodes ended up extending his hand without hesitation.”
