Cody Rhodes winning the WWE United States Title can be a disaster: Exploring the reasons why

Despite winning the Undisputed WWE Championship a month ago, Cody Rhodes has another chance of winning gold in Saudi Arabia. While it may be intriguing to see how The American Nightmare will handle two championships, it might not be in the best interest of WWE and the fans.

At WrestleMania 40, Cody Rhodes could finish his story by defeating Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Championship. After defending the title against AJ Styles at Backlash France, his next task is against Logan Paul and it's very likely that the latter's United States Championship will also be on the line at King and Queen of the Ring. While there have been several simultaneous champions in the company, The American Nightmare should not be one of them.

Fans may turn against Cody Rhodes

As mentioned above, there have been several champions in the past who have held two titles at the same time; Roman Reigns, Becky Lynch, and Seth Rollins are just some of the recent examples. Their reign garnered mixed reactions from fans, something that could happen to Rhodes.

Being getting over as a babyface in the Stamford-based promotion is already a hard thing to achieve, but Cody, fortunately, still has some fans to back him up. Still, there is the possibility of them turning their backs on him if they get overwhelmed by him holding two belts.

It can affect Cody Rhodes' credibility

The United States Championship and the Undisputed WWE Title may be two important belts in the company, but they are on different levels. The former is considered a mid-card title, while the latter is the top prize in the company.

With this in mind, if Cody does win the US title and loses it to someone in the long run, his credibility as the tough Undisputed Champion could be affected.

Cody Rhodes needs to focus on the Undisputed WWE Championship

Roman Reigns' run as the Undisputed WWE Champion will be remembered as one of the most iconic reigns in the company's history. It revitalized his career and the sport itself, something that is not easy to replicate.

Roman's title reign is legendary, and Cody should instead focus on having a similar championship run or even try to elevate the title further. However, he won't be able to do this successfully and with full focus if he also has to worry about the US Title.
