Cody Rhodes potential next opponent
Cody Rhodes is currently on the RAW roster, and his feud with Shinsuke Nakamura came to an end at the WWE Live Holiday Tour in a traditional bull-ropes match. Rhodes has not been involved in any storylines since his match against Nakamura.
According to reports, WWE is planning to trade Rhodes to the Smackdown roster to finally finish his longtime story with the WWE Undisputed Champion, Roman Reigns. As Rhodes officially declared his entry in the Royal Rumble match, he would possibly go back to Smackdown to feud with Reigns after the Royal Rumble.
Rhodes has a 1-1 record in his WrestleMania’s after he made his return to WWE in WrestleMania 38 and won the match against Seth Rollins. Rhodes faced Reigns at last year’s WrestleMania for the title but lost the match at the end due to the interference of The Bloodline.
Rhodes has delivered exceptional performances in his last two WrestleMania matches, showcasing a high level of quality. It would be truly remarkable if Rhodes could main event his second consecutive WrestleMania and potentially dethrone Reigns, to become the face of WWE.
