Cody Rhodes has been the epitome of a fighting champion since winning the world title at WrestleMania XL. At Bash in Berlin, he will defend his title against his good friend, Kevin Owens. However, one superstar had a problem with that and has tried a lot to prove that The American Nightmare has been the villain in the story. That wrestler is none other than Grayson Waller.

The Aussie star took to X, shared a picture of Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens, and called the champion a bad guy. He tried to imply that Cody’s ‘good guy’ persona was just a facade to hide how evil he truly was. His bitter words caught the attention of Rhodes, who replied that they should meet and have a talk on the upcoming episode of SmackDown. Grayson Waller has now accepted his offer through his latest message to him on social media.

Waller sent him a message once again and invited him to his talk show, The Grayson Waller Effect. He vowed to show fans who Rhodes really is on his show. Both Waller and Austin Theory are at loggerheads with the champion, and they even tried to attack him a few weeks ago. However, The American Nightmare got outside help from Terence Crawford and attacked the duo with a chair.

Speaking about Rhodes’ world title match with Owens, it took a lot to convince the latter to agree to it. However, after talking with him and SmackDown GM Nick Aldis, he agreed to a title match at Bash In Berlin. Many fans are predicting he will turn heel and attack his dear friend, who helped him against The Bloodline for months. Only time will tell who will walk out as the world champion in Germany.

Cody Rhodes’ fans were disappointed by the organization at the Fanatics Fest

Cody Rhodes is also known as the “People’s Champion.” He often stays longer, even after the show is over, to take pictures and sign autographs for fans. However, one fan, Jessica Diaz, was left disappointed because she couldn’t meet him at the recently concluded Fanatics Fest in New York.

She took to X and expressed her sadness that The American Nightmare left the fest early, preventing her from meeting him. The fan even had her outfit ready and a gift for his daughter, Liberty. She blamed WWE for the poor organization, as she couldn’t take a picture with him despite booking photo ops earlier. Many fans experienced a similar last-minute change and ultimately missed the opportunity to meet their favorite stars.

Damn, Cody Rhodes left. This sucks. I had my outfit and a gift for Libby. I'm so disappointed. WWE WHYYYYYYY?

A lot of disappointed fans have shared their stories on social media about how they failed to meet Rhodes. They described the event as a poor effort by WWE. The current Undisputed WWE Champion had a busy schedule that day, as he also had to travel to a house show in another city.
