Cody Rhodes, the Undisputed WWE Champion, will appear on WWE SmackDown after his recent loss to The Vision in the WarGames match at Survivor Series. The defeat may have dented his morale, leaving fans to wonder what lies ahead for The American Nightmare. Rhodes’ segment, broadcast from Austin, Texas, is expected to address the future of the Undisputed WWE Title.
With the Royal Rumble more than a month away, WWE could use this window to launch a new feud for Rhodes. A promo from The American Nightmare might serve as a soft reset for his character, opening the door to fresh creative directions. One plausible scenario involves Randy Orton, who has been absent for several months. Orton’s return could be timed with his expressed desire to become Undisputed WWE Champion, setting up a confrontation that would lay the groundwork for a future match between the two.
Alternatively, Rhodes might find himself in an impromptu bout, perhaps against Aleister Black or a duo of Black and Drew McIntyre. This could evolve into a tag‑team match, with Rhodes teaming up with a mystery partner—potentially Orton—in a main‑event setting. Another possibility is that Drew McIntyre, who has been pursuing Rhodes for the past two months, will finally ambush The American Nightmare, delivering a savage attack that leaves Rhodes bruised and forces WWE officials to intervene, thereby setting the stage for a decisive showdown.
As the WWE landscape continues to evolve, Cody Rhodes’ next move will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike. With several potential storylines on the horizon, his appearance on SmackDown is poised to become a pivotal moment in the lead‑up to the Royal Rumble.
