Cody Rhodes defeats 4-time champion on WWE RAW; sends a message to Roman Reigns

Cody Rhodes collided with former RAW Tag Team Champion Chad Gable on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, and he made a major announcement after the match.

The two stars put out a hard-hitting and entertaining match. The Alpha Academy member was dominant initially but was taken out with an inverted superplex. He then rolled out of the ring to regroup and recover.

After the commercial break, Chad Gable took down The American Nightmare with a corkscrew. The former went to the top rope and delivered a diving headbutt, but nobody was home. Cody was selling his leg, which Gable tried to injure during the break.
