10 New Directions For WWE After WrestleMania Backlash 2022
2. Cody Rhodes Winning MITB
...and he's the grandson of a plumber.
Cody's entire WWE comeback story has revolved around the notion that he craves the WWE World Title and must win it as a tribute to his fallen father Dusty. There's a stunning thread of truth running through the whole thing, and that's what makes it so special.
Rhodes hosted an ad for Money In The Bank at 'Mania Backlash. He's the face of the show's build, and that can surely only mean that Cody will be heavily involved come 2 July at Allegiant Stadium. There, in Las Vegas, he should pull down the briefcase and confirm his intentions to win the Undisputed belt from Roman Reigns.
That has to be in the back of Vinnie Mac's mind as a possible roadmap for the summer months. Cody walks like a star, talks like a star and wrestles like he believes he's the best around. Having MITB in his hands would only be a temporary thing though.
