Cody Rhodes has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Everyone is behind him and his indisputable WWE championship.
The American Nightmare has been a champion worthy of praise since he won the title in Wrestlemania XL. You have too much to do at this time, since you have been fighting with half of the Smackdown cast .
Despite having been presented on numerous occasions, the 39 -year -old superstar has spent almost a month without defending his indisputable WWE championship on television. The last time he successfully defended his title was against Solo Sikoa in the September 13 edition of Smackdown.
Today, Rhodes has infringed without knowing the defense rule of the 30 -day title. Although the address has not applied this rule systematically for a long time, it was used to strip Rhea Ripley of its WWE Women's Championship earlier this year.
In the live event Crown Jewel on November 2, Cody Rhodes will face Gunther for the Crown Jewel inaugural championship. The title of neither will be at stake in this brand of brands between champions.
This could force Nick Aldis to strip The American Nightmare of his indisputable WWE title by order of Triple H. What would be more interesting is whether Kevin Owens were the one who reminded the general manager of Smackdown about the violation of this rule by Cody Rhodes.
It could be argued that Roman Reigns was given a margin of significant maneuver during his reign. However, Cody Rhodes has been full -time champion and should defend his title at least once a month.
As controversial than it may seem, the decision would make the imminent fight Owens vs. Rhodes is less predictable, especially with the undisputed WWE championship at stake.
Is Cody Rhodes at the edge of becoming Heel in WWE?
Speaking in him podcast Wrestling Time Machine , The journalist of the Hall of Fame, Bill Apter, talked about the fact that fans chose Roman Reigns instead of Cody Rhodes as the best babyface.
The veteran believes that The creative team could take this opportunity to turn Rhodes into a villain And thus prepare a trilogy with Reigns in the future:
“It is a perfect entrance for The American Nightmare to become an American nightmare in the future, where fans applaud Roman more than him. After a while, maybe that is enough and he attacks Roman.”
However exciting this idea seems like this, it is unlikely that The American Nightmare adopts the dark side in the near future. It is expected to be the babyface for Wrestlemania 41 next year.
