"LET’S CHANGE THE GAME" - Cody Rhodes called out by Bullet Club member to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship in a different promotion
Cody Rhodes has been called out by Bullet Club War Dogs member Gabe Kidd on social media. The 27-year-old NJPW star has challenged The American Nightmare to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship at the Tokyo Dome. Notably, the iconic venue will host Wrestle Dynasty in January 2025. The event will feature stars from several promotions, including NJPW.
In 2016, Rhodes announced himself as the newest member of the Bullet Club. During his tenure in the faction, he won the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship and caused a civil war while feuding with Kenny Omega over the faction's leadership.
Meanwhile, on X (Twitter), Gabe Kidd challenged Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
"I’m past the point of caring what these men who've been chilling in this game for 20+ years, I think! @CodyRhodes, I've beat [sic] you clean! If you [are] a real champ, come to the Tokyo Dome and defend that WWE Title against me. What you got to lose, p***y? LET'S CHANGE THE GAME!'' he wrote.

Vince Russo discussed the possibility of Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens headlining Saturday Night's Main Event
Cody Rhodes will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens at Saturday's Night Main Event on December 14. Notably, KO betrayed The American Nightmare by ambushing the latter in the parking lot at Bad Blood 2024.
Meanwhile, speaking on BroDown on Backstage Pass, Russo discussed the idea of Rhodes and Owens headlining Saturday Night's Main Event.
"I'm just hoping this doesn't backfire because Saturday Night's Main Event used to be a big deal. And bro, let's face it... it was a big deal because back then SNL was red hot. If [viewers] tuned in, waiting to see SNL, they hung around to watch wrestling. We had stars on wrestling back then that [sic] were larger than life," he said.
Cody Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in a Bloodline Rules Match. The American Nightmare has since retained his title against AJ Styles, Logan Paul, and Kevin Owens. It will be interesting to see if The Prizefighter dethrones Cody next month.
