What’s the story?

In case you did know...
Kenny Omega and Cody Rhodes’ on-going rivalry initially began at last year’s Dominion 6.11 pay-per-view, when the latter tried to throw in the towel on behalf of Omega during his IWGP Heavyweight Championship match against then-champion Kazuchika Okada.
Omega and Cody’s rivalry has certainly gone on to a whole new level over the course of this past year and the two men eventually faced-off against each other at this year’s ROH: Supercard of Honor, with ‘The American Nightmare’ coming out on top as the winner of the match, following interference from The Young Bucks.
Omega, however, eventually bounced back from his defeat against Cody in spectacular fashion when he won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship off Okada, earlier this year at the Dominion 6.9 event and thus marked the beginning of ‘The Best Bout Machine’s’ first reign as IWGP Heavyweight Champion.
The heart of the matter
After several months of on-going dissension and hatred within The Bullet Club, Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega’s rivalry has now reached its final stage, as the two men now get set to compete in an IWGP Heavyweight Title match in the US, later this month.
Both Omega and Cody have apparently been fighting against each other in order to decide who eventually gets the privilege of sitting on top of the realm in The Bullet Club and as per Omega himself, his upcoming IWGP Heavyweight Title defence against Cody will seemingly decide the leader of The Bullet Club.
What’s next?
Kenny Omega and Cody Rhodes will compete in an IWGP Heavyweight Championship match later this month at the Cow Palace in San Francisco as part of the G1 Specials in the US.
