Three Ways Triple H Can Keep Cody Rhodes in the Spotlight After WWE WrestleMania 41 Loss
At WrestleMania 41 Night 2, Cody Rhodes lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to John Cena. This loss was a big shock for the fans.
Cody Rhodes gave everything he had and came very close to winning twice. Once, he even pinned Cena, but there was no referee there. This is typical WWE drama, where things change at the last moment.
Now that Cody does not have the title, fans might worry that he could fade away. But WWE will not let that happen. Here are three ways WWE and Triple H can keep Cody Rhodes in the spotlight.
1. Restarting his feud with Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre has become one of the strongest superstars in WWE in recent years. His singles match record is very good.
In the last year, CM Punk cheated Drew several times, but Drew kept fighting and made it into the 2025 Elimination Chamber.
Before the Premium Live Event, Cody Rhodes did not take Drew seriously, which made Drew angry. But at that time, Drew could not do anything.
Now after Drew defeated Damian Priest, who was working with Punk, Drew can target Cody next. A rivalry with a big superstar like Drew can help Cody stay on top.
2. Cody Rhodes turning heel
Cody Rhodes is still one of the biggest heroes in WWE. In the Insight Podcast with Chris Van Vliet, Cody said he did not see himself becoming a heel.
Even when he was in AEW, he promised fans he would not turn heel because of his loyalty to them.
But now things are different. After losing the title, Cody was booed by fans during RAW. John Cena also scolded the WWE Universe for turning on Cody after his loss.
For weeks, Cena has been telling Cody the truth about how fans can change. Now, there is a chance Cody might listen to Cena and finally turn heel in WWE.
3. Bringing Brandi Rhodes as his manager
Brandi Rhodes is Cody Rhodes’ real-life wife. She left WWE with Cody in 2016 and joined him in AEW. She was last seen in WWE during WrestleMania 41 when she cheered for Cody.
Now that Cody is in trouble again, Brandi could return to WWE. She could turn heel with Cody and become his manager.
With Brandi’s help, Cody could defeat his opponents and get back into the race for the WWE Championship. Her return would make Cody’s story even more interesting.
