Arguably the top guy in the company, Cody Rhodes continues to perform at a high level. Since defeating Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 to win the biggest prize in all of wrestling, the WWE Championship, Rhodes finds himself as a mainstay at the top of the card.
Over the summer, “The American Nightmare” continuously had to fend off members of the Bloodline, a faction he’d been battling for over a year. At SummerSlam, Rhodes overcame the group thanks to his former rival, as Roman Reigns came out to help the founding AEW member by spearing and superman punching his own cousin, Solo Sikoa.
With the Bloodline behind him for the time being, Rhodes needed another opponent. This challenge came in the form of Kevin Owens at Bash in Berlin. The crowd was on fire for this banger of a match. Rhodes was able to retain the WWE Championship after one last “Cross Rhodes” finisher, and he now awaits his next challenger.
Something tells me the Bloodline isn’t finished with him yet.
