The Undisputed WWE Championship reign of Cody Rhodes will enter its eighth month to mark Friday's post-Survivor Series edition of SmackDown. WrestleMania Season is also approaching, and Rhodes is expected to continue as a fighting champion. The second generation superstar just revealed the rest of his 2024 schedule.
The American Nightmare came to the blue brand after dethroning Roman Reigns of the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to close Night Two of WrestleMania XL. Cody has still made various RAW TV appearances, while often working Monday dark main events. He took to X today to reveal his final ten dates of 2024, including the next two RAW episodes in Everett and Wichita, and the next two SmackDown episodes in Minneapolis and Hartford, which is the night before Saturday Night's Main Event in Long Island.
Cody then has twelve days off, apparently for Christmas, but will return on Thursday, December 26 in Jacksonville to begin the annual holiday tour. It's interesting that Cody isn't scheduled for the post-SNME RAW in Boston on December 16. The post-SNME SmackDown on December 20 will be taped on December 13 in Hartford, the night before SNME. This information has fueled speculation on Cody potentially dropping the Undisputed WWE Championship to Kevin Owens at SNME.
"December," Cody Rhodes wrote with the graphic below.

After kicking the tour off in Jacksonville, Cody will work SmackDown the next night in Tampa before wrapping the post-Christmas tour in Orlando, Miami, and Detroit. Cody wrapping the tour in the Motor City on December 30 means he will not be able to work the final RAW of 2024 in Houston that night.
Cody Rhodes to headline WWE SNME
World Wrestling Entertainment will present its 37th edition of Saturday Night's Main Event on December 14 at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Long Island, NY. The two-hour special will simulcast, streaming on Peacock and airing on NBC at 8pm ET.
The Undisputed WWE Championship will be on the line in the main event of WWE's first SNME since 2008. Cody Rhodes will defend his title against Kevin Owens that night, in a rematch from Bash in Berlin on August 31.
SNME will also include the crowning of the inaugural WWE Women's United States Champion. The tournament finals are set to feature Bayley or Chelsea Green vs. Michin or Naomi or Tiffany Stratton or Elektra Lopez.
