In a shocking turn of events that sent the WWE Universe into total chaos, Cody Rhodes unleashed a brutal surprise attack on Roman Reigns backstage during last night’s episode of WWE Raw. Fans expected tension… but NO ONE expected this. What unfolded was one of the most explosive backstage assaults in recent WWE history—an act that may redefine the rivalry between these two iconic superstars.
The night began like any other Raw, with loud crowds, electric lights, and anticipation in the air. Rumors had been circulating all week about Roman Reigns’ arrival on Raw despite being a SmackDown superstar. Many wondered if he was coming to confront Seth Rollins, respond to The Rock’s comments, or send a message about his future. But Cody Rhodes had a very different plan.
According to eyewitness reports, Roman Reigns had just finished a private conversation with WWE officials when Cody suddenly appeared, steel chair in hand, his expression cold and focused. Before Reigns could react, CRACK! Cody delivered a devastating chair shot straight to Roman’s back, echoing throughout the backstage area.
Security rushed in immediately, but Cody wasn’t done.
Fueled by months of frustration, unfinished business, and the sting of WrestleMania heartbreak, Rhodes continued his assault, shouting, “THIS IS FAR FROM OVER!” as he struck again. Each steel chair swing symbolized the unresolved war between the American Nightmare and the Tribal Chief.
Roman Reigns, shocked and enraged, attempted to fight back, but the attack was too sudden and too fierce. Officials managed to separate the two, but not before Reigns locked eyes with Rhodes, silently promising retaliation. Cameras caught a glimpse of Roman clutching his ribs, fury burning in his gaze—a look fans haven’t seen since his most dominant days.
Backstage personnel were left scrambling as Cody Rhodes stormed off, breathing heavily but clearly satisfied with the damage he had done. Moments later, Reigns was checked by medical staff, visibly shaken yet determined. One thing was clear: the Tribal Chief had been humiliated, and that would NOT go unanswered.
Social media erupted instantly. Within minutes, hashtags like #CodyvsRoman, #RAW, and #ChairShotHeardAroundTheWorld trended worldwide. Fans were split—some cheering Cody’s boldness, others calling it a reckless act that crossed the line. Analysts are already calling this incident the spark that could ignite the next great WWE rivalry.
What does this attack mean for Roman Reigns’ future? Will Cody face suspension? Or is this the beginning of the long-awaited rematch the WWE Universe has been begging for?
One thing is certain: after tonight’s shocking chaos, the road to redemption, revenge, and wrestling history has officially begun. And when Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns collide again… the entire WWE Universe will be watching.
