Cody Rhodes got emotional acknowledging the outpouring fan support he's been receiving since last Friday after this week's episode of Raw went off air.

The American Nightmare defeated Shinsuke Nakamura in a bull rope match in the main event of the Red Branded Show. After the win, however, he was attacked by Drew McIntyre and the broadcast ended with the Scottish Psychopath standing tall.

Drew stayed in the ring after the show ended until Sami Zayn made the save for Cody. After McIntyre retreated, Zayn spoke to Cody and put over the fan support for the son of Dusty Rhodes:

"You told me you hadn't been looking on your phone so you might not be aware of this but a lot of people have been talking about you this week. Look man, a lot of people have a lot of opinions and a lot of guys back there probably have a lot they're gonna say to you, but the truth is it doesn't matter what they have to say to you.

It doesn't even matter what I think I have to say to you. What matters is what they have to say to you. And I'm pretty sure they've got three words for you that I've been hearing all week online. Three words that I've heard when you guys were walking into the building. Three words that you kept screaming before the show even started. Cody, I think these people have three words for you... [crowd chanting We Want Cody]."

The former AEW star then addressed the crowd himself. Cody Rhodes mentioned how the unprecedented support of fans has made him an emotional mess and said that it's all he has wanted since he was a little boy:

"They're freaking out right now cause I'm bleeding. So I gotta definitely go get it looked at but those three words...well all I can say is this - since I was a little boy who grew up loving everything. For you to want me is special because I have always wanted you. I love you guys so much. I'm sorry I'm an emotional mess.

Please, let's hear it for the man who came in and just saved my ass, Sami Zayn. It's been a wonderful night, a long night. I hope all of you come back the next time WWE is here in St. Louis. This crew has done an incredible job. Samatha has done an incredible job. I love you guys all very much. Have a great night, drive safe, be safe. We love you. Good Night."

WWE heavily leaned into the fan reaction to the SmackDown segment featuring the Rock on Raw this week. However, they used it to sell the upcoming WrestleMania press conference and fans will have to tune in on Thursday to hopefully get some answers about Cody's future.
