WWE Battleground: 9 Match Predictions After Money In The Bank
7. Wade Barrett vs Cody Rhodes
Not Stardust, Cody Rhodes. Despite the entire locker room coming out to pay their respects to the late, great American Dream, Dusty Rhodes, neither of his sons were anywhere in sight. This is more than fair; Goldust has a shoulder injury and, regardless, they were likely at home tending to family matters. But when Cody Rhodes returns to our screens there won't be a man, woman or child who won't be looking to cheer him, their vocal respect for Dusty finding a new home in the form of his youngest son. WWE would be wise to use this almighty outpouring of affection to finally cast off the Stardust gimmick that has been an anchor around Cody Rhodes' neck for months now. People will want to see him embracing the Rhodes name and everything it means, and it would be misplaced contrarianism for WWE to resist. Scrubbed of paint, Cody should have a big showing at Battleground, and who better to feed to him than a man who can't buy a win: Wade Barrett. The Englishman has suffered from woeful booking for the most part of 2015. It's not as if one more loss can do that much damage at this point.
