After the recent WWE 'Hell in a Cell' match, Cody Rhodes addressed the WWE universe on Monday night RAW where he spoke about putting an end to his rivalry against Seth Rollins. Rhodes in his statement said, “I fought against one of the very best superstar wrestlers in the history of our game, Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins. The chapter, the trilogy, it’s been written, it’s in the archives. I’m officially done with Seth Rollins.” 

However, Cody Rhodes's moment with WWE fans was interrupted by Seth Rollins who made his way to the ring and showed admiration towards Rhodes. Rollins on his part said, "I still do not like you. But after what you put yourself through last night, you have earned my respect. You are without a doubt the toughest person I have ever been in the ring with.". 

After showing his respect for Rhodes Rollins made his way out of the ring after which Cody Rhodes’ music rang throughout the arena. Though everything looked normal disaster awaited Rhodes as he made his way back towards the entrance ramp. Rollins blindsided his opponent (Rhodes) and attacked him from behind. The former WWE Champion (Rollins) would go on to hit his signature move curb stomp onto Rhodes’ injured shoulder and chest area before unloading a shot with a sledgehammer onto the injured hand. Rhodes ultimately refused to get himself stretchered out and left the ringside area by himself.
