4 Cody Rhodes predictions that came true in WWE
Cody Rhodes is your current Undisputed WWE Champion and performs on the SmackDown brand. The American Nightmare is presently entangled in a feud with Gunther, with the two world champions set to face each other at Crown Jewel. Besides, his rivalry with Kevin Owens has slowly been brewing since the Prizefighter betrayed him at Bad Blood 2024.
Meanwhile, in this article, we will be looking at four instances where Cody Rhodes's predictions came true in the Stamford-based promotion.
#4. Jey Uso would abandon Roman Reigns first
During the WrestleMania 39 feud between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, The American Nightmare, and Roman Reigns had a promo segment on RAW where Rhodes predicted the future of The Bloodline. He stated that Jey Uso would leave Reigns as soon as he lost the Undisputed WWE Title.
Rhodes specifically predicted that the Yeet Master would be the first to abandon The Bloodline. Indeed, Jey was the first to leave. After this, he also shifted to RAW as a singles competitor. Technically, Sami Zayn was the first to leave the faction. However, since Zayn isn’t a true Bloodline member by blood and has no family ties with Reigns, Jey Uso was indeed the first actual Bloodline member to abandon him.
Following recent events on RAW, where The Bloodline 2.0 cost him the Intercontinental Championship, the former Right-Hand Man is now expected to make his return to the original Bloodline.
#3. Rhodes predicted he would main-event WrestleMania
Before leaving WWE following his first run, Cody Rhodes predicted that he would one day main-event WrestleMania and become the face of the company.
This prediction has indeed come true, as The American Nightmare headlined WrestleMania 39 and 40 alongside The Original Tribal Chief. This is a major self-fulfilling prophecy for Rhodes, and it has become a reality.
#2. The American Nightmare foreshadowed Jey & Rhea Ripley's alliance in front of Dominik Mysterio
Recently, the Yeet Master had a brief romantic angle with Rhea Ripley, which ultimately fizzled out as Jey became the Intercontinental Champion. Interestingly, this was another prediction by The American Nightmare.
In a previous confrontation with Dominik Mysterio, Cody Rhodes pointed out that Mami had her eyes on Jey, questioning the benefit of Dom’s dedication to her. This serves as yet another prediction by Rhodes that later came true in WWE.
#1. Cody Rhodes predicted Roman Reigns would be chief without a tribe
Currently, The Original Tribal Chief has little left to hold on to, as the Ula Fala is now around Solo Sikoa’s neck. The new Bloodline leader has already taken down Reigns twice, despite having Jimmy Uso as an ally. This outcome was predicted by The American Nightmare during his WrestleMania 39 feud with Reigns.
Here, Cody Rhodes stated that Reigns would become “a man without a family, a Roman with no more reigns, and a chief without a tribe.” Now, with all the power centered around Solo Sikoa, it seems Rhodes' prophecy has come true.
