Cody Rhodes vs. Damian Priest Set For WWE Crown Jewel
Cody Rhodes and Damian Priest look to settle their personal issues at WWE Crown Jewel.
Cody Rhodes interrupted the celebration of Judgment Day on the October 23 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. Rhodes made fun of both Finn Balor and Damian Priest for seemingly taking orders from Rhea Ripley. Rhodes addressed Priest kicking him in the balls on the October 16 episode of Monday Night Raw leading to Judgment Day eventually regaining the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. This led to Priest challenging Cody Rhodes to meet him on November 4 at WWE Crown Jewel and Rhodes accepted the challenge.
However, the action was not done there as an impromptu brawl broke out, and although Jey Uso tried to neutralize potential attacks from behind by Dominik Mysterio, Priest eventually attacked the leg of Cody Rhodes, trapping it inside of the steel steps and then slamming the leg with a steel chair.
Despite Cody Rhodes getting assisted to the trainer’s room for a medical evaluation, the match was made official for November 4.
Cody Rhodes looks to get retribution on the biggest member of The Judgment Day when he takes on Damian Priest at WWE Crown Jewel.
Rhodes has never had much love for The Judgment Day. This contempt increased when Priest hit him with a low blow and put him through a table moments just before interference from SmackDown’s Jimmy Uso paved the way for Señor Money in the Bank and Finn Bálor to recapture the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles from Rhodes and Jey Uso after only a nine-day reign.
Priest is laser-focused on ending Rhodes’ story in a different way than The American Nightmare envisioned, and with the dark faction watching his back, he could make that dream a reality.
