Cody Rhodes is going through some tough times ever since his return in January this year. First, he couldn’t defeat Roman Reigns and win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Second, he became the victim of Brock Lesnar‘s wrath multiple times.
And now he had to take a massive insult, courtesy of Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley. Luckily, his wife, Brandi Rhodes, stepped up for him to ensure no one would take advantage of his virtue. She even threatened to use some physical force, if needed, if anyone tries to mess with her husband.

On the 06/05 edition of Monday Night Raw, Cody Rhodes had a heated confrontation with ‘The Young Mysterio’ and Ripley. During the segment, Ex-con Dom sneakily slapped Rhodes and quickly hid behind his Mami. Ripley, making fun of Rhodes, dared him to hit her in the face. But Rhodes, being a gentleman, couldn’t get the job done.
Papa wont hit Mami… but Mommy will.
