Cody Rhodes paid tribute to his friends The Elite, including Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, during a promo on WWE RAW. This was the third week in a row that Rhodes opened the show alongside John Cena.
The segment featured a back-and-forth promo between the two wrestlers, with Cody Rhodes mentioning he was booed by fans in AEW when he helped create it. In response, John Cena said he makes money for billionaires while Rhodes steals from them.
In the closing moments, Cody Rhodes hit his signature moves – Cross Rhodes and the gun bang motion – followed by a gesture paying tribute to The Elite. This has been a recurring theme in Rhodes’ WWE career, particularly during notable accomplishments like his first Royal Rumble victory.
The tribute sparked conversation about the segment’s AEW references and whether it was well-received by fans.
