Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins have had a significant impact on each other’s recent wrestling careers. Rhodes’ long-awaited comeback in 2022 was nothing short of stunning, including a breathtaking Trilogy of fights with the legendary Rollins.
Now Rhodes even bears the nickname previously given to the charismatic Rollins.
Rhodes was called “The Beast Slayer” on the most recent RAW broadcast. He was given that name because he defeated Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2023.
Seth Rollins was nicknamed “The Beast Slayer”, too, in 2019 after he also defeated Lesnar.
Unlike Rollins, however, Rhodes received a ringing post-match endorsement from Lesnar.
The Rhodes-Lesnar encounter was a good match, presumably in a build-up to Wrestlemania 40 in April 2024, where Rhodes is expected to face Roman Reigns in a rematch.
Rhode faces other antagonists, however, before the rematch with Roman Reigns.
The RAW broadcast advertised his upcoming fight with Finn Balor of The Judgment Day.
Interestingly, the formidable Finn Balor had just taken down Brock Lesnar.
Rhodes teamed up with Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura last week in the main event. But consternation reigned when the Japanese star turned on Rollins to set up their world heavyweight title feud.
