There were a lot of references to AEW yesterday during the opening segment of WWE RAW between Cody Rhodes and John Cena. For the third straight week, John Cena and Cody Rhodes opened WWE RAW. This week saw much more of a back and forth promo instead of the previous two weeks.

When both Cena and Rhodes were taking shots at each other, the Undisputed WWE Champion also made a major reference to Vince McMahon. This happened when The American Nightmare cited how Vince was the one who handpicked John Cena and eventually made him the biggest babyface in the Stamford-based promotion.

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes had another confrontation with his "WrestleMania" opponent John Cena that ended in a fight on "Raw."
