The last time Cody Rhodes competed in a premium live event was at WrestleMania 39 when he lost to Roman Reigns. He wanted to finish the story by winning the biggest prize in the promotion, something that no one had been able to achieve. Sadly he failed.

During an interview with The Comicbook Nation, the former AEW TNT Champion mentioned that the most important thing for him was to dethrone The Tribal Chief and win his first world title in WWE.
