Miz TV: Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes said The Beast is on his annual hibernation so we won’t be seeing him for a while. The Miz brought out Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley. Dominik said Cody Rhodes is here instead of taking care of his daughter at home which makes him a deadbeat dad like Rey. Cody said he isn’t the perfect father and he’s sure Rey made some terrible mistakes because he’s looking at one. It looked like Dominik and Rhea were going to leave the ring. Cody turned around to put the microphone down. When he turned back around, Dominik slapped Cody and he hid behind Ripley and laughed. Ripley taunted Cody to hit her before her and Dominik left the ring. Cody turned around and knocked out The Miz with his cast.
