A former WWE Superstar has opened up about his change of heart regarding Cody Rhodes’ promo on RAW last Monday night.
Initially skeptical, Dolph Ziggler revealed his newfound appreciation for the segment after watching it in its entirety.
Reflecting on Rhodes’ response to The Rock’s taunts, Ziggler admitted that his initial impression was lukewarm, especially after viewing only clips on social media.
He expressed concerns about the promo feeling forced and reminiscent of the Attitude Era. However, upon watching the entire segment, his opinion shifted drastically.
Ziggler confessed that he was pleasantly surprised by the depth and execution of Rhodes’ promo. Despite not considering it the greatest of all time, he found himself thoroughly impressed and even declared his love for it.
Echoing Ziggler’s sentiments, veteran wrestling journalist Bill Apter praised Rhodes’ performance, labeling it as one of his best promos to date.
Apter commended Rhodes for his measured approach and the dramatic buildup throughout the segment, particularly highlighting the impactful moment when Rhodes boldly referred to The Rock as an “A-hole.”
Meanwhile, Rhodes continued to showcase his cunning on WWE SmackDown, outsmarting Roman Reigns and The Bloodline.
With anticipation building for the next installment of RAW, fans eagerly await The Bloodline’s response to Rhodes’ recent triumph on the blue brand.
As Rhodes’ feud with The Rock intensifies and his rivalry with The Bloodline escalates, the WWE Universe remains charmed by the unfolding drama, eagerly anticipating the next chapter in this gripping saga.
