Cody Rhodes sends a message to MJF after WrestleMania 40
Cody Rhodes just had an important message for MJF after winning the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40.
Rhodes has had a rollercoaster of a time these past few months. After winning the Men's Royal Rumble match and challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Championship, the odds just kept stacking up thanks to The Rock. To finish off The Bloodline once and for all, Cody agreed to face The Great One and Reigns in a tag team match alongside Seth Rollins on Night One of The Show of Shows.
However, The American Nightmare and The Visionary failed to defeat the Samoan faction, which meant his title match against The Tribal Chief would be contested under Bloodline Rules.
However, despite the impossible odds, Cody managed to finally end the historic reign of Roman Reigns and finish his story in the process. Following the win, Rhodes made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show where he gave a shoutout to former AEW World Champion MJF.
"You know, you gotta stand by your guy, you know what I'm saying. You gotta stand by your boy. MJF's my boy. Shoutout to MJF," said Cody.
