Following his victory against Dean Ambrose on RAW, Dolph Ziggler has earned a shot at the United States championship. The two are expected to feud over the next several weeks, but the title shot most likely will not be taking place at WWE Battleground.

Instead of Ziggler vs. Ambrose at Battleground, WWE is actually considering a “Rhodes Dynasty” vs. The Shield match at the upcoming pay-per-view. Cody Rhodes would team up with his brother Goldust and his father Dusty in a 6-man tag match against Rollins, Reigns & Ambrose.

The stipulation would be that Cody and/or Goldust would get their jobs back in WWE if they can defeat The Shield.

WWE Night Of Champions Results

As we reported earlier this week, there is a strong possibility that Dusty Rhodes will be brought back to WWE television to be included in the current storyline surrounding his son, Cody Rhodes.

With that in mind, the following is a new tweet from the official Twitter account of WWE’s Stephanie McMahon:

“@WWEDustyRhodes please accept this invitation to attend RAW this Monday in Cleveland. I have a business proposition for you. Thank you.”

WWE RAW SPOILERS

As we reported prior to the Cody Rhodes “firing” angle that took place on RAW a few weeks ago, the communication broke down between WWE officials and the creative team. That is the reason the angle seemed rushed, as Rhodes requested time off for his upcoming wedding and honeymoon, and WWE failed to write him off of television until the last minute.

Apparently the same can be said for Mark Henry. As noted, Henry injured his hamstring at a recent WWE live event, but has since been cleared to return to in-ring action. According to one source, the creative team was not aware that Henry was cleared to compete until reading it online. The communication backstage in WWE is said to be in really rough shape at the moment, resulting in the Rhodes and Henry situations.

According to reports, Monday’s edition of WWE RAW was likely heavily rewritten at the last minute, as Vince McMahon was originally intended to be a major part of the show.

Speaking of Monday’s RAW, the Goldust vs. Randy Orton match impressed many company officials, as well as fellow WWE Superstars. In fact, both Goldust and Orton reportedly received a standing ovation from the talent and crew as soon as they went backstage after their match.

While it’s not confirmed, and is merely a rumor at this point, there is a chance WWE Hall Of Famer Dusty Rhodes will be featured on upcoming WWE television programming in the current storyline regarding his son, Cody Rhodes. What role Dusty will play, if any, is unknown at this point.

WWE Attitude Era star Dustin “Goldust” Rhodes lost his match against current WWE Champion Randy Orton on Monday’s edition of WWE RAW. As noted this past weekend when the match was announced, the stipulation was that if Goldust defeated Orton, and Cody Rhodes was willing to apologize, Cody Rhodes would get his job back with WWE.

Due to the fact that Goldust lost on RAW, how WWE will explain Cody Rhodes’ return in the storyline on television is anyone’s guess at this point. It is known, however, that Cody Rhodes will be returning to WWE television after his wedding and honeymoon.

WWE.com has an article up about Cody Rhodes being “fired” on RAW, featuring quotes from his brother Dustin (Goldust) and his father, WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes. Here are some highlights of what they said:

Dustin: “What’s good for business? I don’t think Hunter knows right this second. I think he’s a little bit blinded by this job and his position. He wants to make his mark and I understand that. But he’s going about it the wrong way. Cody has taken whatever he has been given and has done it to the best of his ability with the perfect attitude. Sure, he’s a little hot-headed and impatient at times, but he was continuing to grow and continuing to cement himself as one of the top Superstars. His future was bright, and it was all taken away because some executive decided to abuse his power.”

Dusty: “It broke my heart to see this. Why would WWE be so stupid as to throw away a talented kid like this who does the right thing? I’ve kept my mouth shut long enough. The stupidity of what went down last night, the stupidity to take a kid in his 20s, probably the hottest product that we have at this stage in our industry, and to put him in a situation like that? Cody’s not gonna back down from anything. Give him an opportunity to wrestle Randy Orton, anywhere, anyplace, in an alley, it doesn’t make a [difference] to Cody … So why would you be stupid enough to throw something like that away, because he voiced an opinion, you know what I mean? It was not good for business, Hunter. It was not good for business.”

As noted earlier this week, Cody is reportedly taking time off to marry his fiancé, former WWE Diva Eden Stiles.
