Dashing Cody Rhodes vs. Matt Hardy on SmackDown
Wrestling fans usually know Dashing Cody Rhodes because of his grooming tips he offers on SmackDown. Cody was voted as the most attractive wrestler by the WWE Divas a couple of weeks back. From that day Cody Rhodes added the word “Dashing” with his name and started presenting grooming tips to his wrestling fans. However, most people dislike Cody Rhodes because of his arrogant lifestyle and his attitude of looking down at people. Cody Rhodes was scheduled to battle against the veteran wrestler, Matt Hardy. Cody knew that he could create a strong case to fight for Inter Continental Championship if he beats Matt Hardy in the singles match.
Matt Hardy who is a true hardcore wrestler is one of the inventors of the brutal tables, ladders and chairs match. Matt Hardy is also the former one-half of the World Tag Team Champions. Matt saw a downfall in recent months when he received a vicious beating from Drew McIntyre, and then failed to win the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. It was a chance for Matt Hardy to prove his worth to his fans and send a strong message to the wrestling establishment that he still has what it takes to be in the hardcore business.
Both wrestlers walked on the ramp and entered the ring to carefully mark their positions before the start of the fight. The famous players were taking a careful approach at the start of the fight, as one small mistake could cost them the match.
The match started as Cody cornered Matt Hardy, and started delivering vicious kicks to his abdomen. The referee cautioned Cody, as he was disregarding the rules of professional wrestling by illegally using the leverage of ropes. Matt Hardy then showed his hardcore side as he banged Cody Rhodes’s head hard on the top turn buckle. That was followed by more punches and kicks to Cody’s face. During this brutal attack, Cody tried to hide his face but he still felt the pain as Matt Hardy continued his carnage from all sides.
Matt Hardy then executed an unorthodox move, as he grabbed Cody’s neck and slammed his face hard on the ring floor. It was a catastrophic situation for Cody Rhodes as he struggled to shift the momentum of the match in his favour. Matt Hardy then went for the cover but Cody Rhodes kicked out before the referee’s final count of three. Cody then quickly rolled out of the ring to gather his strength, and rethink his strategy.
Cody Rhodes then changed everything as he delivered his signature move by using the leverage of the middle rope, and by kicking Matt hard on his jaw. That was exactly the opening Dashing Cody Rhodes was looking for from the start of the match. Matt was now in a vulnerable position and it was a chance for Rhodes to make history in front of his fans. Cody Rhodes ran in the ring and delivered his knee hard on the temple of Matt Hardy. Cody then executed the Leg Sweep and slammed Matt Hardy’s back on the ring floor. More carnage ensued, when Dashing Rhodes tossed Matt in the air, and banged his face on the top turn buckle to create an impact.
Dashing Cody Rhodes stalked his prey for a couple of seconds and banged Matt Hardy’s face hard on the ring floor by executing his wrestling finisher called the Cross Roads. That was it, as Cody Rhodes went for the cover and the referee counted to three with both of Matt Hardy’s shoulders touching the ring floor. Cody was ecstatic on his win, when the referee raised his hand after the match. Many believe that this win will surely add to the arrogance of Cody Rhodes, while he sets his eyes on the InterContinental Championship of Dolph Ziggler.
