And, you know, Cody Rhodes comes out looking like Petey Pup from the Little Rascals.

with that black eye, and I'm seeing that, and I'm saying, oh, my God.

By the way, no big reveal on that.

He pulled the glasses off as he went down the ramp.

I thought maybe taking it off in the ring so you get that gasp or that reaction from the crowd, but, yeah, it looked gnarly, that eye.

But you know what?

I'm glad Cody didn't go into promo mode.

It was kind of like Cody in the back, wasn't it?

He didn't have a lot of energy because he's so tired and so beat up.

So he just kind of lumbered through the promo, but it was the right tone for a guy to get his ass kicked.

Let's go back in time from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

It was CM Punk and Cody Rhodes talking in the ring.

Let's listen.

Hey, punk, just say win.

Yeah, the audio doesn't tell the story of the video because it was Punk looking down at the championship that was being held by Cody Rhodes when he slowly said that, hey, you never know when an opportunity will fall from the sky.

I'm excited about what that could be, Tommy.

That could be really fun whenever it's going to be.

That should be a lot of fun.

Yes.

And don't forget, you have to fill up another stadium where the Vikings play at U.S.
