Seth “Freakin” Rollins could not seem to wake up from his “American Nightmare” after Cody Rhodes proved once again that he was the better man in a spirited rematch against The Visionary.

With the additional time to prepare for his opponent, Rollins had Rhodes scouted, avoiding the returning Superstar’s early attempts to dish out punishment before The Visionary turned Rhodes inside out with a flying knee and a clothesline. Rhodes flipped momentum briefly after catching Rollins with a backbody drop and a pinpoint Disaster Kick for a two-count, but as Rhodes went for another Disaster Kick, Rollins shoved Rhodes over the ropes and tumbling to the arena floor.
The four-time World Champion followed up by bouncing Rhodes off the barricade and the announcer’s table, viciously picking apart Rhodes. But The American Nightmare fired back with a flurry of right hands, sending Rollins flying off the top rope with a stunning Superplex. The two Superstars slugged it out in the middle of the ring until Rhodes surprised Rollins with a Cody Cutter out of nowhere for a near-fall.
Rollins followed suit with a pair pins following a superkick and a Falcon Arrow. Rhodes eyed another Disaster Kick, but The Visionary had it scouted, catching him in midair for a buckle bomb then connecting with a massive Frog Splash.
As Rhodes looked to go high-risk himself, Rollins popped up onto the top rope to deliver a Superplex of his own, but as he went for another Falcon Arrow Rhodes, reversed it into a Cross Rhodes.
After rolling out of the way of a moonsault attempt, Rollins planted Rhodes with a Pedigree as the two Superstars threw everything they had at one another. Frustrated, Rollins disrespected Rhodes by mocking his father WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes, but as Rollins went for the Atomic Elbow, Rhodes rallied for another Cross Rhodes. Rollins managed to escape a second straight Cross Rhodes with a swift kick an roll-up — with a handful of tights — but The American Nightmare rolled through, grabbing Rollins’ trunks to secure the 1-2-3.
While Rollins seethed, Rhodes couldn’t help but smirk, knowing he had The Visionary’s number.
