On X/Twitter, Ivar teased challenging Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship after he successfully retained the title over Sikoa.
Check out Ivar's tweet:
At WrestleMania XL, Cody Rhodes won the Undisputed WWE Championship by defeating Roman Reigns. In his first title defense, he defeated AJ Styles at Backlash: France. The American Nightmare has since successfully defended the title against Logan Paul and Kevin Owens.
Following his win over Sikoa in their Steel Cage Match, Rhodes was ambushed by The Bloodline. He was saved by the returning Reigns, as the two former rivals took the fight to Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga.
It remains to be seen who steps up as Rhodes' next title challenger. WWE has also teased the possibility of Rhodes teaming up with Reigns but as of writing, The American Nightmare has rejected the idea.
