Cody Rhodes, the Undisputed WWE Champion, has been on a roll lately, and his recent matches have been nothing short of spectacular. This past Saturday night, he successfully defended his title against AJ Styles at Backlash, sending the crowd into a frenzy of cheers. The American Nightmare’s victory was met with a heartfelt moment, as he shared a special connection with the audience, basking in the adoration of the crowd.
However, that wasn’t the only impressive display of Rhodes’ skills. At a recent WWE Live Event in France, he took on Shinsuke Nakamura, and in a hilarious turn of events, used a fan’s drink as a weapon during the match. The unusual move left the audience in stitches, and the promotion shared the comical moment on its official Instagram account.
Rhodes has come a long way since his return to WWE at WrestleMania 38. He spent two years working towards his goal of becoming champion, and finally achieved it at WrestleMania XL by defeating Roman Reigns in the main event of Night 2. His dedication and perseverance have made him a fan favorite, and his recent performances are a testament to his prowess as a wrestler.
In a surprising move, Rhodes expressed interest in facing LA Knight in a match during the press conference following Backlash. He praised Knight as a good guy and seemed intrigued by the potential match-up.
The statement comes as a surprise, given that Knight was defeated by AJ Styles last month on SmackDown, earning Styles the title shot at Backlash.
While it remains to be seen whether Knight will get the opportunity to challenge Rhodes for the title, one thing is certain – Cody Rhodes is on top of his game, and his fans can’t get enough of him. With his charismatic performances and ability to connect with the audience, he continues to shine as the Undisputed WWE Champion.
