WWE RAW Results: WWE official challenges top champion; WrestleMania rematch announced - Winners, Recap, Grades & Highlights (April 11th, 2022)

RAW kicked off after a recap of Cody Rhodes' promo from last week and The Miz came out to greet us in the ring. He called Cody out to join him in the ring for Miz TV and immediately started making fun of the returned WWE Superstar.

Cody fired back and called The Miz an obnoxious carny before mentioning that he was back in the company to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. The Miz said Cody's chances in their match tonight looked slim before trying to attack him.

Cody dodged The A-Lister's attack and tossed him onto the mat before the latter retreated backstage.
