The Royal Rumble Winner Faces Unexpected Obstacles on the Road to WrestleMania
Summary
– Bloodline interference shakes Monday Night RAW as Cody Rhodes faces Drew McIntyre.
– The match ends in controversy as Cody falls victim to a surprise attack by Bloodline members.
– The Royal Rumble winner’s path to WrestleMania takes an unexpected turn with new challenges emerging.
The Bloodline warned 2024 Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes that his journey to WrestleMania would be one of the most brutal battles he has ever fought. A preview of this turbulent path unfolded on tonight’s Monday Night RAW, where Rhodes faced his former ally, Drew McIntyre.
The match between the former WWE tag team champions showcased an excellent back-and-forth inside the squared circle, prompting a ‘This is Awesome’ chant from the crowd at the Honda Center. However, the anticipated clash took an unexpected turn when two members of The Rock and Roman Reigns’ Bloodline interfered.
As Cody Rhodes sought to put away McIntyre, Jimmy Uso appeared to distract him. Despite evading the distraction and the official trying to eject Jimmy, Solo Sikoa, in a black hood, she executed a surprise attack with a Samoan Spike on Cody Rhodes’ throat—similar to the incident at last year’s WrestleMania that cost him a main event title match against Roman Reigns.
This interference gave Drew McIntyre the opening he needed, delivering a thunderous Claymore Kick to secure the victory by pinning Cody’s shoulders to the mat. The unexpected interference adds complexity to the Royal Rumble winner’s journey to WrestleMania, leaving fans eagerly anticipating how Cody Rhodes will navigate these unforeseen challenges.
