36-year-old megastar to shockingly debut in WWE and help Cody Rhodes against Kevin Owens? Possible twist explored
At Bad Blood 2024, Cody Rhodes teamed up with arch-rival Roman Reigns to take on their common enemies in the form of The Bloodline 2.0. The duo secured the big win with the help of a returning Jimmy Uso. Despite the victory, the night did not end well for The American Nightmare as he was attacked by his former friend Kevin Owens after the show went off-air.
Following this, the former friends are now engaged in a heated rivalry and are destined to face each other in the near future. Some fans and analysts have suggested that Randy Orton could be the mind behind all the chaos and may soon show his true colors, and The American Nightmare might land in a numbers game trap once again.
However, in a shocking twist, there is a huge possibility that a major star from the TKO Group could make his debut in the Stamford-based promotion to protect Cody Rhodes. The name in question is none other than the former two-division UFC Champion, Conor McGregor.
Recently, McGregor shared a video of Cody Rhodes and YouTuber The Schmo trying his brand’s whiskey on his official X account. Notorious noted he loved seeing The American Nightmare enjoying his Proper whiskey. What grabbed the attention of WWE fans was the ending of the post, where McGregor wrote, “See you soon,” which might be a hint that he will have Cody's back if needed in the future.
Conor McGregor is widely regarded as one of the biggest superstars in the world of combat sports. To garner more attention, the TKO Group could welcome McGregor in the Stamford-based promotion. Recently, Tom Aspinall also made a surprise appearance at a WWE live event.
