Dwayne Johnson’s Daughter Ava Raine Takes Credit for Cody Rhodes Move Amid the Rock’s Rivalry

During the WWE’s Premium Live Event ‘Battleground’ last Sunday, June 9, Cody Rhodes mentioned through his social media that he was interested in seeing his old friend Ethan Page. He also said that he planned to go to Orlando, Florida, to visit and dole out some gifts to some friends.

These claims led WWE to make official the appearance of ‘The American Nightmare’ for Tuesday’s show. But was it all at the request of The American Nightmare? Well, not really. As Dwayne Johnson‘s daughter and NXT General Manager Ava Raine just made a stunning revelation.

Ava Raine, the architect behind the move

On Monday Night RAW, WWE announced that the American Nightmare will make an appearance next Tuesday, June 11, on the weekly episode of NXT. So, when the WWE uploaded a picture of Cody Rhodes announcing the same, Ava Raine decided to let the world know that she was truly the one who was bringing the Universal Champion to the black and gold brand. Re-posting the original post by the WWE, Raine wrote, “sincerely, yours truly 👩🏽‍🍳”

However, it would be interesting to see how The Rock reacts to this move by his daughter. As the WWE Universe truly knows by now, the Brahma Bull has become the arch-nemesis of the Universal Champion. The role that the company’s Undisputed Universal Champion will have in this show was not revealed. But it is expected that he will not participate in the ring and will be present to give some promos in the dressing room.

This will be Rhodes’ first appearance on the development brand’s show since last year’s October 8 special, which also featured wrestlers John Cena and The Undertaker. And this time, it is possible that we might get to see AJ Styles, as the challenger, for the gold might launch a surprise attack on Rhodes before their much-awaited match at the Clash of the Castle. A match that even The American Nightmare is excited about, as he gave fans a hint about his upcoming ring gear for the bout.

Next Saturday, June 15, WWE will hold the Clash at the Castle PLE. On this occasion, WWE will once again head to Europe, specifically Glasgow, Scotland, to celebrate the major event. Several fights have been confirmed for the evening. However, the most exciting match will be for the Undisputed WWE Championship between Cody Rhodes and AJ Styles in an ‘I Quit Match’.

Prior to the celebration of this fight, ‘The American Nightmare’ took to his Instagram stories to show a small preview of the outfit he will wear for the bout.

The matchup was set after Styles faked his retirement and asked for another opportunity at the belt. A demand that Rhodes accepted but announced that it would be an ‘I quit’ match. After Nick Aldis approved the match, fans await the rematch of the much-acclaimed fight that the two had at Backlash 2024. What do you think? Who will win the fight? Let us know in the comments.
