Can Cody Rhodes finally finish his story? He’ll have to get through The Rock first.
Rhodes’s pursuit of WWE’s undisputed universal championship has taken longer than most fans expected. From the moment he left the company he helped found, AEW, and returned to WWE in 2022, Rhodes made it clear that his goal was to win the title that his father, the great Dusty Rhodes, never got to hold. But there were plenty of bumps in the road. Just two months after his return, Rhodes tore a pectoral muscle on the eve of his Hell in a Cell match against Seth Rollins. Rhodes wrestled through the injury against Rollins, with the entire right side of his chest covered in a deep purple bruise, but he then underwent surgery to repair the injury and was sidelined for more than six months.
