Following Monday Night RAW, Cody Rhodes continued his winning streak against Carmelo Hayes in a post-show dark match. The encounter marked their seventh singles meeting, with Rhodes maintaining his perfect record against the 30-year-old competitor.
Despite his status as a SmackDown roster member, Rhodes appeared for the live crowd after RAW concluded its broadcast. His current storyline focuses on Solo Sikoa on the blue brand, but he took time to face Hayes in another competitive match.
The series between Rhodes and Hayes began during the WWE Draft special episode, where Hayes delivered a strong performance but fell short against the American Nightmare. This pattern has continued through their subsequent encounters, with the majority taking place in post-show dark matches.
The crowd welcomed the Undisputed WWE Champion’s victory, reinforcing his momentum as he continues his SmackDown program.
