10 New Directions For WWE After WrestleMania Backlash 2022

1. Then Challenging At SummerSlam

SummerSlam destiny awaits.

Nissan Stadium in Nashville will host this year's "Biggest Party Of The Summer". That's the ideal time to pull the trigger on Cody's Money In The Bank cash in and propel him towards a date with Roman Reigns and the Undisputed WWE Universal Title.

Cody vs. Roman is big enough to main event that pay-per-view. The story writes itself; Rhodes took himself out of the WWE game and danced off to create an entirely new platform for himself. Then, when that failed, he returned to find that Reigns had taken over. That'd be how the champ would view it, at least.

Meanwhile, heartfelt promos from Cody would rally support in his corner. Surprise MITB cash ins are played out now anyway, and it's not like Rhodes would be the first to name his date. In fact, something like that is in-character for him.
