WWE Raw video highlights: Cody Rhodes & The Rock’s story is just beginning

Cody Rhodes finished one story at WrestleMania 40, but his next one is just getting started. 

The new Undisputed WWE Champion, Rhodes kicked off Monday’s Raw after WrestleMania by accepting a video tribute from WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque. 

The Rock then entered to confront Rhodes and taunt the Philadelphia crowd in a segment that ran more than 20 minutes. The Rock Told Rhodes that their story has just begun, and that while The Rock has to go away for a while, he’s coming for Rhodes. 

In the Raw main event, a new number one contender to Damian Priest’s World Heavyweight Championship was crowned in a four-way match with Jey Uso vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Bronson Reed vs. Ricochet. 

McIntyre seemingly had the match won, but CM Punk appeared from under the ring to distract McIntyre long enough to allow Uso to hit a superkick and an Uso Splash to cement his spot as the new number one contender. 

Raw also featured the announcement of the WWE Draft for later this month, and included the Raw debuts of NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov, and NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez.
