It looked like The American Nightmare would finally finish the story, but the creative team had other plans for him.<\/p>\n<p>Cody\u2019s brother Dustin Rhdoes appeared on the <em>Busted Open Radio<\/em> to discuss his brother\u2019s failure. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/news-aew-star-claims-cody-rhodes-needs-earn-world-title-wwe-following-wrestlemania-39-loss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">He said<\/a> that Cody would win the world title someday now that he is a top star in the company, but he would have to earn another shot at it.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;He&#8217;s [Cody Rhodes] going to be world champion, I know it. I don&#8217;t know when, but he&#8217;s going to be world champion. So keep doing it man, they&#8217;re making him pay for it. They&#8217;re making him earn it, and I like that,&#8221; Dustin said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Cody Rhodes is arguably one of the hottest babyfaces in the industry today.
