Cody Rhodes, the winner of the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble, has officially given his spot to The Rock to challenge Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Championship. Rhodes’ decision was quite unexpected, as this is the first time a Royal Rumble winner will miss headlining the grandest stage of all, WrestleMania.
The American Nightmare’s wife, Brandi Rhodes, has now reacted to his significant decision to step down from facing Reigns at WrestleMania 40.
Cody Rhodes wife reacts to The Rock vs Roman Reigns matchup
Cody Rhodes and Brandi are not only a real-life couple, but both stars have been involved in the wrestling business for a while. Brandi is a former wrestler and worked as the manager of Rhodes during his time in AEW. She often accompanies him to the ring. Brandi was also present at the ring side, at WrestleMania 39, during the match between Rhodes and Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Championship.
Rhodes has not publicly addressed the WWE fans on social media, but Brandi gave her reaction on Twitter by posting a single word. The post just had the word “quarterback.” In general, the word refers to a key player in American football responsible for leading the offense. They typically receive the snap from the center and are responsible for passing the ball to the team players.
While WWE fans are disappointed in Rhodes’ decision, Brandi’s tweet shows her real love and support for her husband. This word expresses that Rhodes’ decision made him a selfless WWE superstar and a proud entertainer, working for the betterment of the WWE.
Is Cody Rhodes going to fight Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40?
After winning the Royal Rumble match on Saturday, Cody Rhodes made the iconic pointing signs towards the WrestleMania 40 logo, which was displayed at Tropicana Field in Florida. He immediately turned towards Roman Reigns, who was at ringside during the Royal Rumble match. Both exchanged words, making it clear that Rhodes will choose Reigns as his opponent.
However, after today’s SmackDown episode The American Nightmare has completly withdrawn from challenging Reigns. This leaves him to choose the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins as his WrestleMania 40 opponent. Rollins, who has been the champion for 200 days, is currently out of action due to a knee injury.
However, Rollins was able to make his appearance to last week’s RAW episode, where he confronted Cody Rhodes to choose him as his opponent. Rollins also said his title is more worthy and called Roman a Hollywood champion and a poser.
They have faced each other at WrestleMania 38, which was a masterpiece, and their rematch at ‘Hell in a Cell’ was a five-star classic. If Rhodes and Rollins face each other at WrestleMania 40, they could steal the show and could have a match that would be remembered for years to come.
