When we return from the break, Pat McAfee hypes “big news” coming at the WrestleMania Kickoff Press Event that he and Michael Cole will be co-hosting this coming Thursday in Las Vegas, NV. They also announce Jey Uso & New Day vs. Imperium and JD McDonagh vs. R-Truth for next week’s Raw.

Back inside the arena, we hear the familiar sounds of Cody Rhodes’ theme for the second time this evening and out comes “The American Nightmare” for our final bout of the show. He settles in the ring as Cole hypes the “#WeWantCody” movement on X for the past three days.

Now the rock violins play and out comes Shinsuke Nakamura. “The King of Strong Style” heads to the ring as McAfee admits being torn about wanting to dance, noting his theme is the alarm and ring tone on his phone. Nakamura settles in the ring and Cody is hooked up to the Bullrope Match.

Nakamura attacks Cody before he’s tied up as well. He gets the early jump on Cody as the bout gets underway and eventually he is tied to the bullrope as well. He continues to take it to Rhodes as we head into an early mid-match commercial break as our main event of the evening continues in St. Louis.

As we settle back in from the break, we see Cody sending Nakamura into the steel ring post on the floor, as he has shifted the offensive momentum in his favor during the commercials. Back in the ring, Cody continues to take it to Nakamura. He stops to rally the fans, and it costs him, as Nakamura recovers enough to take over again.

We head into another commercial break as the action continues with Cody starting to fight back into the lead again. When we return, we see “The King of Strong Style” dominating once again. He looks for the Kinshasa, but Cody avoids it and counters with a big Pedigree. He goes for the cover, but Nakamura kicks out.

Cody has Nakamura set up and ready to blast him with the cow bell. Before he can, however, he turns right into the red poison mist being sprayed into his eyes by Nakamura. Cody wipes his eyes clean and then hits a Cross Rhodes. He goes for the cover but somehow Nakamura kicks out again. Cody hits another one and gets the win.

Winner: Cody Rhodes

Drew McIntyre Attacks Cody Rhodes To Close Out The Show

Cody kisses the mat in the middle of the ring and celebrates, but just as it seemed the show was coming to a close, Drew McIntyre hits the ring and blasts Cody from behind with a cheap shot. He beats him down and then hits his Claymore Kick finisher to leave him laying. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!
