Cody Rhodes to make a major announcement on WWE RAW after Royal Rumble? Analyzing the chances

After having a historic victory on Saturday's Royal Rumble event, Cody Rhodes is all set to kick off tonight's edition of WWE RAW.

For those unaware, Cody Rhodes emerged as the victor of the 2024 Men's Royal Rumble match after eliminating CM Punk in the end. Besides this, the company has also announced that The American Nightmare will kick off tonight's edition of WWE RAW after getting a gigantic victory at the Royal Rumble.

However, during this segment, Rhodes might make a surprise declaration that he is moving to SmackDown. The potential belief arises after Cody already made his intentions clear to challenge Roman Reigns once again for WrestleMania 40 just after winning the Rumble match.

So, as The Tribal Chief is presently assigned to the blue brand, this might cause the company to move The American Nightmare to the Friday Nights. One of the major reasons behind the same is that both stars will be involved in a full-fledged feud ahead of the Grandest Stage of Them All.

So, on tonight's edition of Monday Night RAW, Cody might clear that he is moving to SmackDown as he chose the Undisputed Universal Champion for WrestleMania this year.

Moreover, not only Rhodes but Bayley might also switch her brand if she chose Rhea Ripley for the WrestleMania title match.
