WWE superstar Cody Rhodes found himself on the wrong end of a Judgment Day beatdown which left him with an ankle injury on Raw.
At the beginning of Monday night’s show, the American Nightmare interrupted the new Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Damian Priest and Finn Balor as they battled on the mic.
It led Priest and Rhodes setting up a huge singles match at Crown Jewel on November 4, before fans got a preview of sorts.
Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley came down to join in the attack only for Jey Uso to take out Dirty Dom as Priest and Rhodes brawling outside.
JD McDonagh turned the tide and helped the Archer of Infamy destroy his rival’s left ankle with steel chairs before Adam Pearce and other officials put a stop to the brawl.
It was a busy night for Rhea Ripley, who tried to manipulate Seth Rollins into accepting an offer of help from the Judgment Day.

She would later do the same as she helped Drew McIntyre beat Sami Zayn at the end of a fantastic match, trying to tempt both Rollins and McIntyre before Crown Jewel, but they both agreed to keep their World Heavyweight Title match Judgment Day free.
At the end of the show, Balor distracted Jey Uso to help Priest to victory at the end of an exciting main event.
Judgment Day went on the attack after the bell and tried to bring things full circle by injuring Jey’s ankle, but Rhodes limped down with a steel chair to make the save and stand tall.

Elsewhere on the show, The New Day beat Alpha Academy in a great tag match with new academy recruit Akira Tozawa at ringside, while Lyra Valkyria was in the crowd to watch Becky Lynch in action.
The NXT Women’s Champion successfully defended the gold against a spirited Indi Hartwell, while she confronted Valkyria before their match tonight at Halloween Havoc.
The contract signing for the Fatal 5-Way match for the Women’s World Title descended into chaos as challengers Nia Jax, Raquel Rodriguez, Zoey Stark and Shayna Baszler brawled while Rhea watched on.
