In an electrifying turn of events that unfolded after the curtains fell on WWE SmackDown at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, Cody Rhodes once again proved why he’s one of the most resilient and captivating superstars in the wrestling world. The night was ripe with anticipation as fans eagerly awaited the post-show dark main event, which saw Rhodes face off against his former tag team partner, Drew McIntyre. However, the match took an unexpected turn when Grayson Waller interfered, attacking Rhodes and leading to a disqualification.
The Road to WrestleMania 40 Heats Up
Cody Rhodes, often referred to as “The American Nightmare,” has been navigating a tumultuous path on his road to WrestleMania 40. Despite not appearing on the SmackDown broadcast, Rhodes was very much the talk of the town, especially with the revelation that he may be gearing up for not one, but two monumental matches at the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania 40. His encounter with McIntyre came as a pivotal moment, especially considering their history and the recent defeat Rhodes suffered at the hands of McIntyre on Monday Night RAW—thanks to interference from The Bloodline.
However, the night wasn’t just about settling old scores. It also set the stage for what promises to be an explosive showdown at WrestleMania 40. Rhodes is slated to challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship, a match that has fans buzzing with excitement and speculation. The stakes were further raised when Hollywood megastar The Rock made a blockbuster proposal on WWE SmackDown, suggesting a tag team match pitting him and Roman Reigns against Rhodes and Rollins, adding an extra layer of intrigue and high stakes to the event.
