Legendary 14-time champion to return to WWE just to take out Cody Rhodes? Exploring the possibility

Cody Rhodes is the current Undisputed WWE Champion in the Stamford-based promotion. However, The American Nightmare will face a big challenge as he puts his title on the line against Solo Sikoa at SummerSlam 2024. Meanwhile, Nic Nemeth, formerly known as Dolph Ziggler, might make his return soon to WWE to take out Cody post-SummerSlam.

For those unaware, Ziggler has already had 14 title reigns during his run in World Wrestling Entertainment, including being a two-time World Heavyweight Champion. Many feel his achievements accord him the status of a legendary star in professional wrestling. Recently, Nemeth added another accolade to his resume by winning the TNA World Championship in a six-man elimination match at Slammiversary 2024.

With the recent WWE-TNA crossovers being well-accepted by the fans, another crossover between these two promotions might probably take place if the TNA World Champion makes his presence felt and takes out Cody Rhodes.

This could also lead to a crossover match between Rhodes and Nemeth, making Cody's world title reign even more interesting. Dolph Ziggler is one of the most popular non-WWE stars currently working with TNA, making his presence in the Stamford-based promotion as a TNA star a great choice.

It remains to be seen how things will unfold in the coming months and whether fans can witness the appearance of Nic Nemeth in WWE as the TNA World Champion.

Not only Nic Nemeth but this TNA star could also take out Cody Rhodes soon

Not only is the current TNA World Champion a potential contender, but Joe Hendry is another TNA star who might soon engage with Cody Rhodes in the Stamford-based promotion. In recent weeks, Joe has become one of the top rising stars in the business, even making some major appearances in the NXT brand despite being a TNA star.

This makes it an ideal scenario for WWE to book a match between Hendry and The American Nightmare, given the massive response Joe Hendry is receiving. A crossover match between Rhodes and Hendry could be a great choice, considering the buzz the TNA star currently has online. Additionally, it would likely generate a significant reaction from the live crowd.

Joe Hendry has already debuted in the NXT brand, emerging victorious in a tag team bout. This sets up a perfect scenario for a match between Cody and Joe if he shows up on WWE SmackDown to challenge the Undisputed WWE Champion.

It will be interesting to see whether The American Nightmare can defend his Undisputed WWE Title against Solo Sikoa at SummerSlam. Additionally, fans will be keen to see if any TNA star shows up afterward to challenge Cody Rhodes.
