During the electrifying WWE Raw episode on June 5, Cody Rhodes found himself subjected to ridicule due to his distinctive neck tattoo. As a special guest on Miz TV, the former WWE Champion had the spotlight on him. However, to further intensify the drama, an unexpected twist awaited the audience as Dominik Mysterio emerged as the undisclosed second guest. ## With sharp words, Dominik cunningly referred to Cody as a "frail birdie with a fractured wing," alluding to his previous arm injury. Not stopping there, Dominik boldly criticized Cody's parenting skills, labeling him a neglectful father and drawing a parallel to his own father, the legendary Rey Mysterio, who had faced similar accusations. ## In response, Cody employed his quick wit and retorted by acknowledging the hardships Dominik faced during his time behind bars. Seizing the opportunity, Cody humorously pointed out that Dominik's teardrop tattoo paled in comparison to his own infamously divisive neck tattoo. ## As tensions escalated, Dominik unleashed an unexpected, sly slap to Cody's visage, causing him to recoil.
