Cody Rhodes is coming to seek revenge against Judgment Day members, one by one at Crown Jewel 2023 after his tag team title run with Jey Uso was short-lived. Soon after dropping the belts on the season premiere of Raw, he was able to book himself in a one-on-one matchup against Damian Priest of Judgment Day.
Finn Balor and Seonr Money in the Bank Damian Priest kicked off this week’s Raw to celebrate becoming the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions. Cody Rhodes interrupted and confronted Priest for hitting him with a low blow ahead of their title win. Cody challenged Damian to a match, but Damian was already booked to face Jey Uso on the show.
