Tue Nov 05 02:44:03 UTC 2024: ## Cody Rhodes Defeats Carmelo Hayes in Post-Raw Match

**TAMPA, FL -** Cody Rhodes continued his dominant run in WWE, defeating Carmelo Hayes in a post-Raw dark match. This marks the third time Rhodes has bested Hayes in 2024. The match comes ahead of Hayes’ upcoming Triple Threat match against LA Knight and Andrade at Crown Jewel 2024, where Knight’s US Championship will be on the line.

While Rhodes wasn’t part of the Raw broadcast, his presence was felt backstage. The former World Champion has been involved in a number of exciting dark matches in recent months, including a victory over Jakob “The Samoan Werewolf” Fatu. However, Fatu remains undefeated on television, suggesting a possible involvement with The Bloodline in the upcoming six-man tag team match at Crown Jewel.

Rhodes himself is set for a huge showdown at Crown Jewel, as he faces Gunther for the inaugural Crown Jewel Championship. This clash between two of WWE’s most dominant superstars is expected to be a brutal battle for the newly created title. The match is also likely to feature outside interference, potentially turning the event into a major brawl.

WWE fans are eagerly anticipating this blockbuster matchup, as it could be a game-changer for both Cody Rhodes and Gunther. Only time will tell who will walk out of Crown Jewel as the first ever Crown Jewel Champion.
