Follow Us
“The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes has been drafted to WWE RAW. Roman Reigns to Smackdown. With both men now performing at their brands, the big question is whether their feud is over or not. But Cody Rhodes wants to fight “The Tribal Chief”. During WWE’s live event in Belfast, Ireland on Friday night (prior to Smackdown airing), Rhodes teased that his feud with Roman Reigns would continue regardless of the Draft results.
“The way I look at it is this what happened in Wrestlemania in Hollywood (losing to Reigns) is an injustice that I 100% intend on avenging. Doesn’t matter what, doesn’t matter when it happens. I still intend to finish the story. And part of finishing the story means coming back to Belfast – Champion.”
With Cody Rhodes clearing his intentions what happens next is unknown, but whenever it is going to happen it’s definitely going to be huge.

Kevin Nash believes Cody Rhodes should turn heel after winning the WWE Championship. The WWE Hall of Famer stated on his ‘Kliq This’ show that “the money is always gonna be with the babyface chasing the belt.” So, after Cody’s quest is complete and he is in possession of one (or both) of WWE’s greatest trophies, Nash believes Rhodes should abandon fans and become a villain.
Kev compared this to Paul Orndorff’s feud with former on-screen mate Hulk Hogan in the 1980s; Orndorff didn’t go on to become champion, but his irritation with Hulk grew and ended up ruining their friendship.
‘Big Sexy’ believes WWE’s writers might use certain elements of that plot for Cody’s own journey. On TV, he’s plainly not friends with Roman Reigns, but Rhodes turning black because he’s possessed by an obsessive quest to become champion is a viable storyline for 2023. Most fans expected Cody to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Title from Reigns at WrestleMania 39, but WWE chose Roman instead.
