Cody Rhodes has promised WWE fans a huge surprise at Saturday Night's Main Event on December 14. The American Nightmare is slated to square off against Kevin Owens in a one-on-one match that night. However, Rhodes has something up his sleeve which he promised to unveil at the big event.

The Undisputed WWE Champion made the announcement after Monday Night RAW went off the air last night. After facing Carmelo Hayes in a dark match, Rhodes gifted a signed belt to a young fan dressed like him. Cody further promised his fans that there would be a surprise at the upcoming event on Saturday. This listicle will brief four probable surprises that Cody Rhodes might have for his fans.

#4. Cody Rhodes might reveal a new Netflix show

The Undisputed WWE Champion is expected to be moved to RAW during the transfer window, as the red brand will move to Netflix from January 6, 2025. Cody Rhodes is a huge draw for the Stamford-based promotion. Therefore, The American Nightmare might announce a new Netflix show for the fans that might kick off next year.

#3. Cody might unveil a new WWE title design

The American Nightmare might also unveil a new WWE Championship design exclusively based on his theme. Cody is currently carrying the title which was given to Roman Reigns.

The Big Dog was given the newly designed title on the June 3 edition of SmackDown last year, when he had completed 1,000 days as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. On Saturday, after he potentially beats Kevin Owens in a singles match, Cody Rhodes might unveil a new WWE title exclusively designed for himself.

#2. Cody Rhodes might debut special new ring gear

The Undisputed WWE Champion might also unveil a new get-up for his future appearances in the company. Although his American Nightmare outfit with the Highlander jacket is beloved by fans, Rhodes might just reveal more customized attire.

Cody's attire started getting attention when he began wearing longer pants in the independent wrestling circuit after leaving WWE in 2016. His ring gear continued to evolve in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) as he refined his American Nightmare persona, and he brought it to WWE when he returned in 2022. His outfits are designed by renowned costume designer Sandra Gray.

The 68-year-old fashion designer has been working with Cody for quite some time and has been using her expertise to bring out the best in-ring gear for the Undisputed WWE Champion. It will be interesting to see if she has further customized Cody's uniform.

#1. The return of Randy Orton

The biggest surprise of the night would be the return of former WWE Champion Randy Orton. The Viper has been absent from WWE ever since he was brutally injured by Kevin Owens on the November 8 edition of SmackDown. KO had executed a banned WWE move, the Piledriver, on Orton.

WWE later proclaimed that Orton was diagnosed with cervical cord neurapraxia and was out for an indefinite period. As Orton was being taken to the hospital on a stretcher, Rhodes accompanied him to the ambulance. Kevin Owens later blamed Cody for Orton's condition.

So, at Saturday Night's Main Event, Cody might announce the return of Orton after beating Kevin Owens. However, The Viper can pull off another surprise by turning on Cody. This might be the biggest surprise of the night as well. It remains to be seen what surprises the WWE fans will get on December 14.
