Summary
WWE legend Stephanie McMahon returned to “Monday Night Raw” to address undisputed champion Cody Rhodes. Rhodes is set to face Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42. McMahon gave Rhodes advice, saying he needs to tap into something sinister to come out on top. Rhodes fired back, and the two exchanged words before McMahon slapped him across the face.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Cody Rhodes, the golden boy, gets a wake-up call from the boss’s daughter, and things get real.
Stephanie McMahon, the queen of the ring, brings out the claws, and Rhodes gets a taste of his own medicine.
Rhodes thinks he’s got this, but he’s not even close to his father’s level. At least, that’s what the queen says.
This one felt recognizable early, and by the end, the result wasn’t surprising.
Original Observation: This is the moment when Rhodes realizes he’s not the hero the crowd wants him to be, and the villain he’s been trying to emulate is actually the one doing the heavy lifting.
