Cody Rhodes & Dominik Mysterio To Lock Up At WWE Money In The Bank
Dom-Dom has a receipt coming from the American Nightmare for cheap shots.
It will be the Battle of the Heat Magnets at WWE Money in the Bank next month.
After getting called a "deadbeat dad" and slapped last week on Raw, Cody Rhodes challenged Dominik Mysterio Monday night to a match at the upcoming PLE, setting up a battle between two wrestlers who receive among the loudest - and polar opposite - reactions from fans.
Rhodes is still dealing with a broken arm dealt to him by Brock Lesnar, and he is still awaiting a response to his challenge for a rubber match with the Beast. Mysterio is riding out his run as a hated superstar who is booed the minute he touches the mic, to the point of not being able to speak.
Last week, Dom called out Rhodes as a bad father (like his dad, Rey Mysterio) for being on the road challenging Brock rather than home with his family. He then slapped Cody and ran away. Monday, Rhodes wasted little time in issuing the challenge for MITB. Rhea Ripley accepted the challenge for Dom-Dom, before Mysterio cheap-shotted Cody once again.
"We'll see you at Money in the Bank!" ?

As a match, this probably won't be Rhodes' finest effort, but it could be a highly entertaining bout, especially if Ripley gets involved. Expect a lot of running away and preening from Dominik. Regardless, this is perfectly fine filler between Cody's matches against Lesnar, and best to pull the trigger on this while Mysterio is still hot as a heel.
