WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes made a bold statement after tonight's edition of SmackDown went off the air.

After Friday Night SmackDown came to a close, The American Nightmare took on Shinsuke Nakamura in a dark match. After the bout, Rhodes delivered a fiery promo.

Cody Rhodes acknowledged the rumors surrounding the WrestleMania 40 main event. As per recent reports, Roman Reigns could face Rhodes, The Rock, or both men in a Triple Threat Match at The Show of Shows. Here's what Cody Rhodes said about the rumors:

"And I'm not immune to all the news, everything that's happening, what will happen, what won't happen. All I can tell you is this: I'm the right man for the job, I'm the best man for the job. I'm heading to the Royal Rumble, I'm gonna go back-to-back, and I'm gonna bring a championship back home to Atlanta." [0:57 - 1:22]

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
