Cody Rhodes lost a feud to Chris Jericho back when he was in All Elite Wrestling. The loss meant that Rhodes could never challenge for the world title. He finally made his big WWE return at WrestleMania 38 in 2022. Since then, Cody had been eyeing Roman Reigns' Undisputed WWE Universal Title.

Cody lost to Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 39 last year. Many fans speculated that he would win the top prize somewhere down the line. The story is now finished as Cody is the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

Along with the title, Cody seems to have won over his critics as well.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
