Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has set his sights on achieving a major milestone in his career before his contract with the Stamford-based promotion comes to an end. In a recent interview on the Busted Open podcast, Rhodes expressed his desire to become a Grand Slam Champion, a feat that would cement his legacy in professional wrestling.
The American Nightmare has been on a roll since dethroning Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL, successfully defending his Undisputed WWE Championship against AJ Styles at the 2024 Backlash Premium Live Event. Next up, he’ll put his gold on the line against Logan Paul at King and Queen of the Ring in Saudi Arabia. Despite initial speculation that the match would be a Winner Takes All affair, it was revealed on last week’s episode of SmackDown that only Rhodes’ championship will be at stake.
Rhodes remained unfazed by Paul’s decision to keep his United States Championship out of the equation, stating that it didn’t bother him much. Instead, he’s focused on making history by adding the Grand Slam Championship to his resume before his contract expires.
Meanwhile, wrestling personality Sam Roberts has weighed in on the upcoming match, suggesting that a Logan Paul loss to Rhodes on May 25 could be followed by a dramatic twist. Roberts proposes that Paul could win the 2024 Men’s Money in the Bank contract and then cash it in on Rhodes to win the Undisputed WWE Championship. The possibility has added an extra layer of intrigue to the highly anticipated showdown.
As the wrestling world eagerly awaits the outcome of the King and Queen of the Ring event, one thing is certain: Cody Rhodes is determined to make the most of his remaining time with the WWE. Will he emerge victorious against Logan Paul and take a step closer to achieving Grand Slam Championship status, or will The Maverick pull off a stunning upset? The stage is set for a thrilling encounter that could go either way.
