WWE veteran thinks LA Knight should challenge Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhodes has defended his Undisputed WWE Championship against AJ Styles and Logan Paul. However, his next opponent is yet to be confirmed. A veteran suggested who could be his next challenger.

On his Rebooked podcast, veteran Matthew Rehwoldt (FKA Aiden English) claimed the Megastar could be the American Nightmare's next opponent after a qualifying match.

"Just put a 20-man Battle Royal, somebody wins it. Somebody has to qualify for a match. But who? That is the question. [LA Knight?] LA Knight I think is a good one." he said.

It will be interesting to see if Cody is featured on the Clash at the Castle Premium Live Event in June.
