Cody Rhodes made his big return to the ring in January and he punched his ticket to WrestleMania when he won the 30 man Royal Rumble match. The American Nightmare challenged The Tribal Chief for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania earlier this month, but unfortunately he failed to win the gold as Roman Reigns picked up the victory.
The result shocked many people in the wrestling world as Cody seemed to have a lot of momentum on his side. WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recently discussed the Cody situation on his Kliq This podcast, and he noted that he would turn Cody heel if it were up to him.
“Yes [I would turn Cody heel]. I don’t mean this as any slight to anybody, but I look at people’s pops, and people’s pops during the start of my career to this past Sunday. You could take everybody, you could take Hogan, Rock, Shawn, Taker, Bret, Roman, Cody, put them all in a basket, and put them in the ring, and then have Austin’s glass break, and when s**t was in his wheelhouse, and there was nothing as electric and as that [pop] because he was the real deal.”
For now it seems that Cody Rhodes is drifting away from the title picture as he recently set up a feud with Brock Lesnar which is expected to culminate with a match at Backlash.
