Adrenaline in my soul, hey look, it's Pharaoh.
On the June 26 episode of WWE Raw, Cody Rhodes interrupted a message from Dominik Mysterio, his opponent at WWE Money in the Bank, and Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley. Cody quoted The Cat in the Hat" made it clear that he wanted to see whether Dominik was even half of the man his father was, or if he was just Mami's little boy. Dominik refused to fight Cody, but "The American Nightmare" later made it clear that he still wanted to wrestle on Monday.
In a backstage interview, Cody was petting his beloved dog, Pharaoh. He then challenged Damian Priest, Dominik's stablemate in The Judgment Day, to a match.
Who's a good boy?

Perhaps aided by having his mood boosted by Pharaoh, Rhodes went on to defeat Priest, despite the fact that he was outnumbered due to the presence of Mysterio and Ripley at ringside.
The appearance marked Pharaoh's WWE debut. Rhodes previously stated that there would be some type of interaction with Pharaoh on WWE TV, and fans finally got it on WWE Raw.
Pharaoh is a famous dog in the wrestling world, as he has been used on Cody's merchandise, and he has alsoo appeared on AEW TV. However, his appearances had been limited since he was scared during a pyro incident at AEW All Out 2019.
