WWE dropped a major update just five hours before tonight’s RAW went live—Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will be appearing live on the show.
With the fallout from WrestlePalooza still fresh, this last-minute announcement has added serious firepower to an already stacked Monday night. The update came straight from WWE’s official X account, where they posted:
“BREAKING: Undisputed WWE Champion @CodyRhodes will appear LIVE on #WWERaw tonight, 7pm ET / 4pm PT on @netflix!”
No other details were released, leaving fans speculating about whether Rhodes will be addressing Drew McIntyre or further setting up Crown Jewel match with Seth Rollins.
Tonight’s RAW—airing live from the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana—is already packed with fallout from WrestlePalooza. CM Punk and AJ Lee walked away victorious over Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch in a mixed-tag match, while Stephanie Vaquer claimed the vacant Women’s World Title after beating IYO SKY. The Vision also scored a win over The Usos, potentially reshaping the tag division moving forward.
WWE’s official event ticket page has also been pushing names like CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, LA Knight, and Jey Uso to boost local hype, and now with Cody Rhodes confirmed, the show is more stacked.
RAW airs tonight at 7 PM ET, exclusively on Netflix as WWE’s new streaming era rolls on. With Cody Rhodes making an appearance and WrestlePalooza fallout just beginning, this is one episode that could set the stage for WWE Crown Jewel 2025 in a big way.
Ringside News will be providing live play-by-play coverage of this week’s show over in our WWE Monday Night RAW coverage hub.
