The Good: Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton reunite
In today’s edition of RAW, we saw a very wholesome reunion of two ace superstars Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes.
Cody Rhodes came out on the stage to congratulate the Viper on his 20th WWE anniversary during the opening segment of this week’s RAW.
Riddle pitched Rhodes as a second-generation Superstar who used to be buddies with Orton during their time in The Legacy faction.
“He looks up to you like a locker room leader,” Riddle told Orton “And he tells me that you guys were once friends.”
After that, Orton and Rhodes hugged until Seth Rollins accused The American Nightmare of stealing Orton’s thunder.
As a result, WWE official Adam Pearce announced an 8-Man Tag Team Match between Rhodes, RK-Bro, and Ezekiel vs. Kevin Owens, Rollins, and The Usos as the main event.
Rhodes hit a Disaster Kick on Rollins near the end of the main event, which was followed by Orton hitting the RKO.

The match was restarted but Sonya then got herself disqualified for hitting the champion with a steel chair. Sonya Deville got on the mic again and restarted the bout once more, this time making it a no DQ match.
Before Deville sent the champion into the turnbuckles in the corner, Zelina Vega and Carmella rushed the ring and attacked Bianca Belair, knocking her out.

Before attempting to send Belair through the steel chair in the ring, she got a DDT on top of it.
Belair fought his way out of the move, defeating Carmella and Vega before securing the victory with the KOD on Deville. Sonya tried everything from her books but she still couldn’t win the title.
