WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has been announced to appear at Fanatics Fest NYC, a non-wrestling event, on Sunday, August 18. The American Nightmare will be taking a break from the ring to engage with fans, signing autographs and taking photos. This news comes ahead of tonight’s SmackDown, which will feature the fallout from the recent WWE Backlash event.
Rhodes has been riding high as the Undisputed WWE Champion, having successfully defended his title against AJ Styles at Backlash in France. The victory marked his first televised title defense since winning the coveted championship at WrestleMania XL. The reign has now surpassed one month, with fans eagerly anticipating his next opponent for the Championship.
While Cody has been enjoying a successful title run, some have voiced concerns about the frequency of his defenses. Bully Ray recently shared on Busted Open that Rhodes needs to defend his championship more often to add credibility to his reign. Fans are now left wondering who will step up to challenge The American Nightmare next.
Rhodes is currently advertised to appear at the upcoming King and Queen of the Ring event in Saudi Arabia, which will take place later this month. This will be a major show, and fans expect to see the Undisputed WWE Champion in action once again.
As Cody takes a brief break from wrestling to interact with fans at Fanatics Fest NYC, the WWE universe is left to speculate about his next move. Will he continue to reign supreme as the Undisputed WWE Champion, or will a new challenger emerge to shake things up? One thing is for sure – the WWE universe will be keeping a close eye on The American Nightmare’s every move.
