Cody Rhodes could challenge Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the coming days. According to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer, WWE could book Rhodes to go after the world title on RAW next.
WWE SummerSlam 2023 was a memorable event for both Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. The two Superstars won their respective matches. While Rollins retained his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor, Rhodes earned the respect of Brock Lesnar with a win in the rubber match against him.
Speaking on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer spoke about the probable next feuds for the two Superstars. He mentioned that WWE wants to book Cody in a meaningful program after SummerSlam. One of the options with the creative team is to book a feud between Cody and Seth.
”Unless they go with Cody and Seth right now, which they could do, I mean, they certainly could do it,” said Meltzer.
Here is the reason why Seth Rollins never won against Cody Rhodes in WWE
It is pertinent to note that Rollins has never won a match against Rhodes ever since the American Nightmare returned to WWE. The reigning World Heavyweight Champion has an embarrassing 0-22 win-loss record against Cody.
While Seth Rollins has been reigning supreme on the main roster, many fans wonder why he has lost 22 times against Rhodes. Fans could also see some shade of fear on his face when Cody Rhodes came out to challenge him for the World Heavyweight Championship a few weeks ago on RAW.
The reason behind it is that WWE rates Cody Rhodes highly. It is not that they do not consider Seth Rollins a top Superstar, but a majority of the fans see Rhodes as the one who will beat Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Universal Championship. To maintain Cody’s aura, WWE has booked him strongly against Seth.
