The American Nightmare has been in a heated feud with Brock Lesnar following WrestleMania 39. Meanwhile, the former has also been at odds with Dominik Mysterio after The Judgment Day member slapped him on last week's RAW. This has led fans to believe that his run in WWE is reminiscent of his AEW stint.

A fan took to Twitter to compare Rhodes' stints in AEW and WWE, as they wrote the following:

"It's crazy how much Cody's WWE run is now mirroring his AEW run. Challenge for the title and fail. Now in the mid/upper midcard wrestling and putting over younger talent on PPVs."

Roman Reigns beating Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania was not a mistake, according to Eric Bischoff

In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Eric Bischoff spoke about Cody Rhodes' defeat at WrestleMania 39.

Bischoff mentioned that six months ago, he would have said it was a huge mistake to let Rhodes lose. But he was going to wait now after seeing what the creative team could do. The former WCW executive believed WWE has a better path for Cody Rhodes.

"We will see. When I was asked that question shortly after WrestleMania, I said I think my response was something else. Six months ago, I would have said that was a huge mistake. But having seen what the WWE creative team is capable of doing, I am going to give it some time. I am going to see what’s next and see if they actually have an even better path for Cody Rhodes."
