Cody Rhodes’ Defeat at WrestleMania 39: Eric Bischoff Weighs In
Cody Rhodes, also known as « The American Nightmare, » lost the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. Many fans were disappointed with the outcome, as they believed Rhodes should have won to « finish the story » following his return to WWE in 2022. However, WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff has shared his thoughts on the matter.
Bischoff believes that it was the right decision to have Rhodes chase the title, but only if WWE has a plan in place. He emphasized the importance of replicating the success of The Bloodline storyline over the next 12 months with Rhodes, leading up to a possible world title match at WrestleMania 40. Bischoff stated that if WWE doesn’t have « a really great plan » in place, the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match at SoFi Stadium in L.A. could end up being a missed opportunity.
There might be some cause for concern if fans don’t see something that catches their attention in the next 90 days involving Rhodes and his quest for the gold. Bischoff’s comments suggest that WWE needs to have a clear plan for Rhodes’ storyline to keep fans engaged and invested in his journey towards the championship.
