There were a couple of AEW and Vince McMahon references on
yesterday’s Raw in the in-ring promo between John Cena and
Cody Rhodes.
After two weeks of more of the same, things got heated
yesterday, with Cena calling Rhodes a “paint-by-numbers,
sociopathic, nepo baby” and nothing else but an errand boy.
“I don’t bury talent, I am talent. I bury mediocrity,” Cena
told Rhodes after Rhodes said that Cena might “cook him” on
the mic.
Rhodes had told Cena that there are a lot of things he could
make fun of, including that he was booed in a company he
helped create.
Cena didn’t touch any of that, but he did tell Cody that
while he makes empires for billionaires, all Cody ever did
was steal money from their kids, referring to Tony Khan.
Rhodes had one up his sleeve too, and said that the fans
chose him, unlike Cena, who was chosen by an individual in
the office who is not there anymore and cannot be mentioned,
referring to Vince McMahon.
The segment ended with Cody hitting the Cross Rhodes on Cena
after Cena attempted a cheap shot.
One man who liked the promo was AEW’s own MJF, who said he
doesn’t get why fans “get up in arms” when WWE mentions or
references AEW and vice versa.
“If you want to be treated like children, watch Elmo. Or
better yet. Tell VKM to start a new promotion,” he wrote.
