Cody Rhodes gives a nod to his wife Brandi Rhodes on WWE SmackDown.
On WWE SmackDown, the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes opened the show and gave a promo during which he addressed what The Rock handed to him on WWE Raw this week. After winning the championship from Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, Rock confronted Rhodes on the Raw after Mania and asked to switch championships, a bit of a call back to Rhodes doing the same to him a decade ago.
"I can tell you when The Rock was in here the air got a little...colder. The mood certainly changed. He placed an item in my hand, I instantly knew what it was. It was a wartime overture if you will. Something that I had gifted to The Rock. It was uncomfortable. It was awkward. But I believe The Rock when he said he was going off to Hollywood and I believed him even more when he said that he would be coming back here, and when he did he would be looking for me.
In the promo on SmackDown, he also gave a nod to his wife Brandi Rhodes who once delivered a very meme-able line:"Who the hell told you it was open mic night, b--ch?" When Brandi and Cody were still in AEW, Brandi cut the iconic promo against Jade Cargill who is also now signed with WWE.
Back in September of last year, Brandi spoke to Ring The Belle about many moments in her career, including the memorable promo on Cargill and how it came to be."It's a very fun segment for the simple fact that there was not much thought that went into it," Brandi explained."It was literally just, Tony asked me, 'Can you cut a promo on Jade?' I said, 'Sure.
