Cody Rhodes has been the biggest babyface in WWE ever since his return at WrestleMania 38. However, fans want him to stop executing a popular move if he does not want to end up in the hospital.
Cody Rhodes teamed up with Jey Uso to win the Undisputed Tag Team Championship from The Judgment Day at WWE Fastlane. The two debuted a new tag team move during the contest, which looks like a combination of The Usos’ 1-D and Rhodes’ Cody Cutter.
The new champions have defended their titles twice this week, but the ending of both matches has seen The American Nightmare nearly pick up an injury. The tag team move does not seem to be working for Cody, who has botched it twice and nearly gotten injured.
The latest edition of SmackDown saw Austin Theory and Grayson Waller challenge Jey and Cody for the Tag Team Titles. The American Nightmare once again botched the move before ending the contest with a Cross Rhodes.
A fan posted a video of the botch on Twitter, pointing out that Cody Rhodes failed to execute the move again. This prompted more fans to talk about how the former Intercontinental Champion should stop hitting the move with Jey Uso as it can result in an injury for him.
Check out some fan reactions below:
WWE fans can hope to see the two men gradually improve the move before bringing it back to the ring. No one wants to see any superstar get injured during a competition, especially someone as popular as Cody Rhodes, who is in line for some big opportunities.
Cody Rhodes could challenge for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship again
The Undisputed Tag Team Championship will allow Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso to move across brands and defend their Titles on RAW and SmackDown. The move will also allow them to interact with the superstars of both brands.
This week’s SmackDown gave the perfect preview of what to expect in the coming months. Rhodes had a face-off against a familiar foe on the brand after his title defense. The foe in question is none other than the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.
The American Nightmare and Main Event Jey Uso were making their way out of the arena when Roman Reigns appeared to confront Cody face-to-face. It looks like the creative team will be reigniting their rivalry down the line following Cody’s failed attempt to win The Tribal Chief’s title at WrestleMania 39.
Should The American Nightmare continue to use the Cross Rhodes as his finisher while working in a tag team in WWE? Sound off in the comments section below!
