This week’s WWE Raw featured a riveting bull rope match between Cody Rhodes and Shinsuke Nakamura, concluding with The American Nightmare emerging victorious. However, post-match, the celebration was short-lived as Drew McIntyre made a perilous attack on Cody Rhodes.

Cody Rhodes, the triumphant winner of the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble, took to Instagram to share a concerning update. The wrestling sensation posted a photo revealing a visible injury near his left eyebrow, which required three stitches. This injury occurred during his intense bull rope match against Shinsuke Nakamura on Raw.

The recent episode of Raw witnessed Cody Rhodes intervening in Seth Rollins’ promo, creating tension and raising questions about his plans for WrestleMania 40. Amidst the chaos, Drew McIntyre entered the scene, targeting both Rollins and Rhodes. While the World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins, faced an attack, Cody Rhodes retaliated by pushing McIntyre out of the ring.

Cody Rhodes’ journey towards WrestleMania 40 has been marked by challenges and uncertainties. Despite winning the Royal Rumble for the second consecutive year, Rhodes declared on SmackDown that he would not be challenging Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.

The recent development of The Rock confronting Roman Reigns on the same show hinted at a potential showdown between the two brothers at WrestleMania. Fans have expressed a strong desire for a Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes rematch at WrestleMania, making The Rock an unexpected antagonist in this storyline.

Although an official announcement for the WrestleMania 40 match involving Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes is yet to be made, the narrative suggests that Cody Rhodes is gearing up for a challenging pursuit of the World Heavyweight World Championship at the grand event.
