Cody Rhodes story didnt just end at WrestleMania 41it got shattered.
In one of the most shocking main events in WrestleMania history, Rhodes lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to John Cena during Night Two at Allegiant Stadium. After 378 days on top, it took one night, one match, and one cold-blooded veteran to bring the American Nightmares reign to an abrupt end.
Backstage after the match, Cathy Kelley tried to get a word with Codybut he wasnt having it. The former champ walked away in silence, refusing to speak. I mean it looks like he is very somber, he is devastated. He is still processing all of this, Kelley told Joe Tessitore on the post-show. We talk about how hard he fought to get here and to watch itjust lose everything. Lose everything that hes worked for.
Rhodes had held the title for over a year, fending off major challengers like AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, Solo Sikoa, and Logan Paul. He famously finished the story at WrestleMania 40 by dethroning Roman Reigns and ending The Tribal Chiefs 1,316-day title run. But now, that victory is a distant memory.
Cena, who promised to ruin professional wrestling, has officially begun his mission. After the match, the 16-time World Champion hinted that he plans to retire as Undisputed Championand force WWE to create a toy title for the rest of the roster to chase.
Codys loss wasnt just a defeatit was a dismantling of everything hes spent years building. Whats next for The American Nightmare now that the dream is deadfor now?
