Former Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is currently in a heated feud with his former friend and mentor Randy Orton. Before his big fight against Orton, The American Nightmare dropped a blockbuster tease of a project outside of the wrestling business.
At SummerSlam earlier this month, Cody Rhodes faced off against reigning Undisputed WWE Champion CM Punk. However, he was unable to pick up the win as a result of Randy Orton’s shock return to WWE. The Viper, who hadn’t been seen in the promotion since he lost to Rhodes at WrestleMania 42, returned to cost him the gold. Since then, Rhodes has been in a feud with Orton.
Thanks for the submission!
Before his rematch against The Viper at Sunday Night’s Main Event on September 6, Cody Rhodes took to his Instagram stories and uploaded a photograph of himself from Marvel Studios in Burbank, California. Although he didn’t reveal any further details, The American Nightmare is likely going to be part of a movie project in association with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
You can check out the photograph from his Instagram story in the tweet below:
Could Cody Rhodes turn heel and ally with Paul Heyman?
Cody Rhodes was in a heated war of words with Randy Orton on the most recent edition of Friday Night SmackDown to build up their upcoming bout at SNME.
Interestingly, during his promo, The American Nightmare dropped a line that had the WWE Universe guessing about his future direction in the Stamford-based promotion.
“You may go on to become the greatest of all time, but the one who kills The Legend Killer is QB1. That is not a prediction. That is a spoiler,” Rhodes said.
Although The Viper keeps trying to paint Rhodes as the golden boy, who could do nothing wrong, Rhodes has been hinting at unleashing his evil side against his former friend.
Was the use of The Wiseman’s catchphrase a deliberate act on WWE’s part, or was that just a case of The American Nightmare borrowing some words from Heyman? The next few weeks should answer all those questions.
