After a recent WWE house show, speculation has intensified regarding the identity of Cody Rhodes’ next adversary. Let’s explore the unfolding developments.
Cody Rhodes, widely recognized as the “American Nightmare,” continues to be a fixture on WWE RAW. However, it’s been some time since fans have witnessed Rhodes embroiled in a substantial singles rivalry. His last noteworthy solo confrontation saw him defeating Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam.
Post that victory, Rhodes has diversified his engagements, aligning with various superstars in conflicts with the Judgment Day faction. He also played a crucial role in ushering Jey Uso into the Red Brand.
Cody Rhodes: Unveiling at Palm Springs
A glimpse into Rhodes’ potential next rivalry was offered on September 23rd, at a WWE house show in Palm Springs, California.
The house show staged an MVP Lounge segment, featuring Rhodes, MVP, and Omos, concluding with a street fight between Rhodes and Dominik Mysterio. The standout moment, however, was the unanticipated intervention by Omos, targeting Rhodes.
This incident has fueled speculation, with many fans anticipating a brewing rivalry between Rhodes and Omos.
Spotlight on Omos’ WWE Journey
For those who may not be familiar, Omos made his last televised in-ring appearance at the Slim Jim Battle Royal during SummerSlam, where he demonstrated his capabilities, but the match was ultimately won by LA Knight. Given Omos’ unexpected involvement in the Rhodes-Mysterio bout, it suggests WWE might be exploring the potential for a feud between Rhodes and Omos.
Anticipating the Future
WWE has a history of using house shows as a platform to experiment with prospective TV feuds and matchups. The clash between Rhodes and Omos at Palm Springs might well be an indicator of an upcoming storyline set to be broadcasted.
With both superstars bringing their unique styles and appeal to the ring, a rivalry between the two could either captivate the WWE audience or, conversely, might not meet the fans’ expectations. Only time will reveal the trajectory this potential face-off might take.
