WWE Backstage Rumors: Cody Rhodes Return Imminent, Liv Morgan’s Future Uncertain
According to a report from Bleacher Report, a prominent source within the wrestling community has revealed that Cody Rhodes is set to make a return to WWE, but the exact timing of his comeback remains uncertain. Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com reported that there was a pitch for Rhodes to return at Backlash, but it’s not 100 percent certain that is the direction at this time.
Rhodes, also known as The American Nightmare, has been absent from TV since losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to John Cena at WrestleMania 41 on April 20. His return to the ring has been highly anticipated, and given his history with both Cena and Randy Orton, it makes sense that he would return to WWE and attempt to rectify the loss to Cena from The Showcase of the Immortals. As noted by Bleacher Report, Cena will be defending his title against Orton in St. Louis on Saturday, and Rhodes’ involvement in the feud could add a new layer of complexity to the storyline.
While it would make sense for Rhodes to return at Backlash, there are concerns that the creative team may have already booked and marketed the show around hometown hero Orton. In this case, it may be best to save Rhodes’ return for SmackDown, which can be promoted as his first appearance since ‘Mania. This would allow the company to build hype around his return and create a significant impact on the show. As Bleacher Report notes, "Given the show has been booked and marketed around hometown hero Orton, though, perhaps it’s best if the creative sticks to him and saves Rhodes’ return for SmackDown, which can be promoted as his first appearance since ‘Mania."
The return of Rhodes would be a significant boost to WWE, which has been missing its most prominent babyface and a company missing its QB1. As Bleacher Report states, "Regardless of how and when it happens, it appears The American Nightmare is on his way back to a show that, frankly, could use its most prominent babyface and a company missing its QB1." The American Nightmare’s return is likely to send shockwaves throughout the WWE universe, and fans are eagerly anticipating his comeback.
In addition to Rhodes’ return, there are also rumors surrounding Liv Morgan’s future in WWE. While details are scarce, it’s clear that Morgan’s storyline has been gaining momentum in recent weeks. As Bleacher Report continues to provide updates on the latest WWE news, one thing is certain – the world of professional wrestling is always full of surprises, and fans are eagerly anticipating what’s to come.
The news of Rhodes’ imminent return will come as a welcome boost to WWE fans, who have been eagerly anticipating his comeback. As reported by Bleacher Report, citing sources close to the company, it appears that Rhodes is set to make a significant impact on the WWE landscape in the coming weeks. With his return, WWE is likely to see a significant surge in interest and engagement, and fans are eagerly anticipating what’s to come.
