Cody Rhodes made his first WWE Raw appearance in the best part of a decade last night, cutting an emotional in-ring promo on his return to the company, plans for the future, and father Dusty Rhodes, whom he wants to do proud by winning a world title in the promotion.

While Rhodes was approached by WrestleMania 38 opponent Seth Rollins at the end of the segment, their interactions were limited to a staredown and handshake. The former AEW TNT Champion and executive vice president didn't wrestle on the show.

Until the cameras stopped rolling.

As captured by WhatCulture, Rhodes wrestled Kevin Owens in a post-Raw dark match, defeating the former Universal Champion. Highlight moments included KO popping a mocking Young Bucks pose after hitting Rhodes with a superkick and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's mother, Ata Johnson, holding Owens back for Cody to bust his chest up with chops and a Bionic Elbow at ringside.

Rhodes mounted a crowd-popping WWE return at 'Mania 38, defeating Rollins in an acclaimed match. The 36-year-old had officially been a free agent since leaving AEW in mid-February.
