Fans recently took to Twitter after an AEW star shockingly made a reference to WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes on Dynamite.
Before making his return to World Wrestling Entertainment in 2022, Rhodes became one of the biggest stars in the pro wrestling world during his stint in AEW from 2018 to 2022. He won several championships and was also one of the Executive Vice Presidents of the Tony Khan-led company.
The American Nightmare has now become arguably the biggest babyface of the Stamford-based promotion, and fans believe he will finish his story this year by dethroning Roman Reigns as the Undisputed Universal Champion at WrestleMania XL.

Hardy mentioned that The American Nightmare needs a successful title run with great matches:
"I don't think he needs a long run, I think he just needs to have a good run, a successful run, great matches, and then as a babyface he gets screwed out of the title and then he's okay," Hardy said. "He's still going to be over you'll give him something to fight for."
