On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Tommy Dreamer reviewed this week’s RAW match between Drew McIntyre & Cody Rhodes and praised the Scottish Warrior. He said,
“I thought it was a solid, solid opener. Both guys worked super duper hard. [Bully Ray] and I have both been in the ring with them, we know what they bring to the table. [It was a] very, very physical matchup. I enjoyed all the storytelling.
“If you can’t see the resurgence in Drew [I don’t know what to tell you.] He’s become next level, which is so good to see because a lot of guys, after they’ve been there so long, they kind of fit their role.
“He’s really, really stepped up, and then [we saw] a very, very surprising finish. And by surprising, I believe that’s the first loss that Cody has taken in a while. [We saw the] referee distracted, a lot of good stuff to get people really, really pissed. It continues to make Drew the bad guy.”
McIntyre’s victory over Rhodes marked only the second time Rhodes has been pinned in a singles match since his return to WWE in April 2022.
Rhodes’ only other singles loss since returning came at WrestleMania 39 against Roman Reigns, the man Rhodes will challenge at this year’s WrestleMania 40 pay-per-view event.
