Cody Rhodes Names Jake Roberts as Dream Opponent

WWE's Bad Blood Premium Live Event on October 5 in Atlanta was labeled the most successful 'B-level' PLE of 2024, driven by the star power of Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, and The Bloodline, according to Dave Meltzer. The event featured a high-profile Hell in a Cell opener with Punk and Drew McIntyre, and a main event tag match between Rhodes and Roman Reigns against The Bloodline, culminating with a surprise return of The Rock. Looking ahead, fans are excited for a title clash between Rhodes and Gunther at the upcoming Crown Jewel event, where a new championship will be introduced. Rhodes has expressed a desire to face Jake 'The Snake' Roberts, citing his unique audience psychology as a learning opportunity. Additionally, Rhodes revealed his top five favorite wrestlers, including his father Dusty Rhodes and competitors like John Cena and Roman Reigns, with whom he has a complex history. This engagement with both past legends and current rivals highlights Rhodes' significant role in WWE's current narrative landscape.
