Cody Rhodes faced Shinsuke Nakamura in a Street Fight on the latest edition of RAW. In the end, The American Nightmare was victorious over The King of Strong Style following a hard-fought match.

Cody Rhodes had been feuding with Nakamura for a while now. Now that he is seemingly done with Shinsuke, The American Nightmare is putting his complete focus on the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble 2024 Premium Live Event.

Rhodes lost an Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns on Night 2 of WrestleMania 39 last year. Cody has still not given up and wants to "finish the story" at any cost. Rhodes now has a massive opportunity to finish the story when he enters into the 2024 Men's Royal Rumble Match. If Cody ends up winning the Rumble match for the second year in a row, he will get another chance at finishing the story in the main event of WrestleMania 40.

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.
