This highly anticipated showdown promises to be a historic night for WWE, paying tribute to the generations of superstars who paved the way for today’s era. To make the event even more memorable, Triple H presented The American Nightmare with a special gift ahead of the spectacle.
In a video shared by WWE on their social media, Triple H presented Rhodes with a mysterious case that immediately piqued his curiosity. Before Rhodes could open it, The Game emphasized that the contents were meant for “one night only.” As Rhodes unlocked the case, a radiant golden light emerged, hinting at the immense value of the item inside.
The contents of the case remain a mystery, but speculation suggests that a retro item could be in store for the event. Many fans believe the iconic ‘Winged Eagle’ WWE Championship might be the hidden treasure. Rhodes has long hinted at his desire to revive the classic title design, and it seems he may have succeeded, though only for Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The Winged Eagle WWE Championship is one of the most iconic title designs in WWE history, worn by legends like Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan, and Bret Hart during their reigns as the faces of the company. It will be a truly remarkable sight to see Cody Rhodes, the current face of WWE, walk out with such historic gold in Uniondale this weekend.
Cody Rhodes wants to achieve major milestone in WWE before the year ends
Cody Rhodes is the cornerstone of WWE today. As one of the top merchandise sellers and a relentless workhorse, he consistently competes week after week. In 2024, The American Nightmare boasts one of the highest winning percentages in WWE, having competed in 95 matches. Reacting to this impressive stat, Rhodes shared an enthusiastic message, showcasing his passion and dedication to his craft.
Taking to X, the 39-year-old vowed to achieve the remarkable milestone of 100 matches in a single year in WWE. Enthralled by his impressive record, the Undisputed Champion seems more motivated than ever, using the stat as a morale boost for his future bouts. Currently sitting at 95 matches, the former AEW star needs just five more to hit the century mark.

If Rhodes is able to touch the 100-match milestone, it would further cement his status as one of WWE’s most dedicated performers. Also, stars like Jey Uso (83 matches), Damian Priest (69 matches), and LA Knight (68 matches) are behind the Undisputed WWE Champion as the workhorses in the Stamford-based promotion right now.
