Cody Rhodes successfully defended his title against a lingering rival in Glasgow during the “I Quit” Match. Right when he was about to exit the arena, he was interrupted by The Bloodline. One by one, each of the three members attacked the Undisputed Universal Champion on the ramp. However, their tyranny did not extend for longer than a few seconds.
Cody Rhodes received support from a friend that may turn
Soon after the assault in front of the Scottish crowd, Rhodes was rescued by Kevin Owens and Randy Orton. A short exchange of blows took place between the two sides before The Bloodline eventually gave up. After beating and sending them backstage again, the three babyfaces eventually ended the heated segment by sharing a moment together in which fans cheered for them.
