Cody Rhodes may lose his Undisputed WWE Championship, feels veteran, before the end of this year for one main reason
Former Intercontinental Champion Ryback believes Cody Rhodes might lose his Undisputed WWE Championship in just a few months.
The American Nightmare finished his story and captured the championship on Night Two of WrestleMania XL after defeating Roman Reigns in a Bloodline Rules match. The following night on RAW, WWE CCO Triple H introduced Rhodes as the man who would lead the company into the new era.
On a recent episode of his Ryback TV podcast, the former superstar addressed Rhodes' title reign, predicting that it might end in only a few months since Reigns had a "very lengthy run."
"I hope for a while for his sake, I hope he's given a fair shake and an opportunity, which judging by the WrestleMania numbers and the success of his merchandise and things, I would like to think he's gonna have a lengthy run. But, you know, coming off of Roman having that really, really lengthy run, I obviously, I don't think that's gonna happen. So, I think we probably gonna see something, you know, maybe we see something in the five-six months range/six-eight months range, maybe," he said. [1:09:04 - 1:09:38]
