Cody Rhodes’s career has been defined by betting on himself to do the improbable. At WrestleMania 39, he’s poised for his biggest cash-in yet.
Rhodes will attempt to win the undisputed WWE universal championship when he challenges Roman Reigns in the main event of Night 2 of WWE’s signature event at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., this Sunday.
When he returned to WWE one year ago, Rhodes made it clear he was on a mission to fulfill his family’s destiny. He was back in WWE to do the one thing that his legendary father Dusty Rhodes was never able to do: become WWE world champion. It was a lofty goal—but no one should have doubted Rhodes given his track record.
