It’s possible that Cody Rhodes, who has been out of action for more than half a year due to an injury, will return to the squared circle soon and Cody’s comeback could see him facing off against Roman Reigns.
WrestleMania, the most anticipated wrestling event of the year, will take place on April 1 and 2. The 39th annual WrestleMania will take place at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California and the two-night event is being labeled as “WrestleMania Goes Hollywood” this year.

In June of 2022, Cody Rhodes competed against Seth Rollins in a hell-in-a-cell match, which was the last time he was in the squared circle. However, after undergoing surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle, he was required to refrain from engaging in any form of wrestling.
Officials from WWE have confirmed that The American Nightmare is closer to making his comeback as in a recent Royal Rumble poster he was featured. If the poster for the upcoming Royal Rumble lives up to its promise, fans of Cody may get to see their favorite wrestler sooner than they thought.

Will Cody, even if he makes a successful comeback, be able to win against the Tribal Chief? Eric Bischoff, a Hall of Famer, recently shared his opinion on the topic in an interview with Chris Van Vliet. Eric did not forget to bring up Cody’s father Dusty, who was a three-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion.
“Well, it’s a wonderful story, isn’t it? I mean, second generation, I mean, who’s, there are maybe a few more beloved characters in professional wrestling than Dusty Rhodes. I can’t name one for me. But Dusty was so beloved and well respected.” said Bischoff.
Eric thinks that the crowd will go absolutely bananas if they see Cody win against the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion and create a fairytale as his father.
”And then to have Cody following his father’s footsteps and then become a WWE Champion, come on, that’s a story. And I think that’s why people are leaning into that speculation because it is such a good story,” Eric added.
Who do you think will triumph if the American Nightmare meets The tribal leader?
