6 Ups And 8 Downs From WWE Raw (June 13)

DOWNS…

8. Must Mention Cody Every Quarter Hour

Did anyone keep count of the number of times WWE announcers and superstars mentioned Cody Rhodes by name Monday night?

It’s no shock that they’d talk about him and Seth Rollins’ heinous attack a good amount – it was a huge angle last week – but Cody’s name kept coming up throughout, with AJ Styles professing to attack Rollins backstage for Rhodes. Then, both of their backstage promos once again referenced the sidelined superstar, as if they were reminding fans of how central he was to the show despite not being there.

The references felt a bit much, and it’ll be interesting to see if that was it, or if WWE is going to keep Cody’s name front and centre for a bit, even while he’s convalescing.
