To achieve his lifelong dream of becoming a WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes will have to face one of the biggest hurdles of his life at WrestleMania 39. However, fans have already started booking the American Nightmare's reign as the world champion.
The American Nightmare will challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the Showcase of Immortals this year. The former AEW star is the favorite to win the bout despite The Bloodline's numbers advantage.
With Rhodes potentially winning the world titles in April, fans shared their thoughts on The American Nightmare facing off against Edge at Money in the Bank PLE. The event will take place at the famous O2 arena in the United Kingdom and is bound to feature top stars in action.
Cody Rhodes has never faced off against Edge in a singles match. However, the duo has shared the ring on a few occasions during multi-men matches.
Check out the responses to the potential match below:
It should be noted that Roman Reigns is currently not advertised for the Money in the Bank premium live event. Many believe that this is an indication that The Tribal Chief is dropping the titles to Rhodes at Mania to take an extended break from pro wrestling.
WWE veteran backs Cody Rhodes to defeat Roman Reigns
Cody Rhodes has been one of WWE's top babyfaces since returning to the company at WrestleMania last year. The American Nightmare is undefeated since his return and has the credibility needed to usurp Roman Reigns.
Rhodes is also backed by fans and veterans including Matt Hardy, who believes the former AEW star is a viable candidate to take on The Tribal Chief:
"I think the people kind of see Cody as a bit of a rebel because he left WWE on his own accord to go out and do his own thing and prove himself, and they always respect people when they do that. I think the call to go with Cody and let him be the guy to defeat Roman, I think that’s the way to go."
However, Cody Rhodes' path to glory won't be easy. Roman Reigns has been undefeated for over three years and has the support of The Bloodline. The Head of the Table is also guided by Paul Heyman, who has proved multiple times that he is the best manager in pro wrestling.
