Cody Rhodes, the current Undisputed WWE Champion, has set his sights on a new target – veteran WWE Superstar R-Truth. In a recent interview, Rhodes revealed that he has unfinished business with Truth, and defeating him is the only way to truly “finish the story” of his journey to the top of the WWE mountain.
This surprising turn of events comes on the heels of Rhodes’ thrilling victories over Roman Reigns and AJ Styles, which culminated in his championship win at WrestleMania XL. However, it appears that Rhodes’ focus has shifted from celebrating his title reign to rectifying past grievances.
R-Truth, a beloved figure in the WWE, currently holds the World Tag Team Championship alongside The Miz. Many fans see this as a well-deserved reward for Truth’s consistent ability to adapt and thrive despite the challenges thrown his way.
However, Rhodes’ comments suggest that he does not share the same admiration for Truth.
Rhodes’ issues with Truth were revealed during a conversation with Fightful, where he discussed the lowest-rated superstars in the latest WWE 2K24 video game. This unexpected rivalry has sparked excitement among fans, who are eager to see how this feud will unfold.
Interestingly, Rhodes’ desire to take on Truth is not an isolated incident. The American Nightmare has also expressed a desire to revisit a notable rivalry with his mentor, Randy Orton. During a post-show press conference at Backlash France, Rhodes acknowledged that he would have been no match for Orton a decade ago. However, he believes that the tables have turned, and a showdown between the two would be a first-time-ever encounter.
Rhodes’ motivations for targeting R-Truth and rekindling a rivalry with Orton seem rooted in his desire to make amends for past shortcomings. As he stands at the pinnacle of the WWE, Rhodes is determined to correct the mistakes of his past and prove himself as the top guy in the company.
With Cody Rhodes’ sights set on R-Truth, the WWE universe can expect an intense and emotional showdown. As the drama unfolds, one thing is certain – The American Nightmare will stop at nothing to “finish the story” and cement his legacy in the WWE.
