Welcome back to the blog, if you are new? then hello and welcome.
This is a brand new series called Let's Talk About. It is only fitting we talk about The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes, he was the first person to return from AEW to WWE, at last year's WrestleMania (38) everyone knew he would be Seth Rollins opponent, the pomp and circumstance was fantastic to see though.
Cody suffered a legitimate injury prior to facing Seth at Hell in a Cell and the reveal of said injury only added to the drama and intrigue of the match that he went on to win.
When he was written off TV on the following episode of Monday Night RAW and the training montages were shown, it was obvious he was going to win the 2023 Royal Rumble match.
A lot of fans on social media were constantly suggesting he should be the guy to end Roman's reign at this year's WrestleMania to send a message to AEW, there were so many narratives, that is where the tide turned for me, no disrespect to Cody as a person, I ACKNOWLEDGE that I wanted his character to lose to Roman Reigns and to see the reactions online, which, by the way, were very entertaining.
SummerSlam is way too early for a rematch, he is not ready to challenge The Tribal Chief at that prestigious event.
In order for Cody to be viewed as a genuine contender for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, he must face names such as: Brock Lesnar, Austin Theory, Gunther and perhaps win a United States or Intercontinental Championship along the way, including the Elimination Chamber next year to earn an opportunity for the top title, someone else should win the Rumble in 2024.
If this happens? WrestleMania 40 would be a great place to complete his journey, before he loses the titles to either LA Knight, Seth Rollins or someone else, after they successfully cash in their Money In The Bank Contract, resulting in a heel turn for Cody and him blaming the fans that supported him, in true wrestling storyline fashion.
Let's see how this STORY plays out.
