A few names from AEW were not happy at Cody Rhodes' WrestleMania 39 loss, too. This includes Amanda Huber, the late Mr. Brodie Lee's wife, who is close friends with The American Nightmare thanks to his connection with Brodie Jr.

It will be interesting to see where Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes go from here. The latter likely won't stay down for long and could earn another shot at the world title pretty soon. WWE needs to ensure he remains a main-eventer.
