It has been quite a while since the fans witnessed a spectacular episode of Raw. Fans witnessed several segments where seeds of a future rivalry were sown. One of those is the one between Cody Rhodes and Shinsuke Nakamura. The American Nightmare was a victim of a sneak attack from the King of Strong Style.
It seems the American Nightmare finally has a response for the former Intercontinental Champion. Taking to ‘X’, Rhodes addressed the fans about the event. Taking a dig at the poison mist attack, the Men’s Royal Rumble 2023 winner said he’ll deal with that.

He then diverted the viewers’ attention by restating his declaration of being in Royal Rumble 2024. Becoming the first person to declare himself as the entrant, fans would see him in action against 29 other men at Tropicana Field, St Petersburg, Florida.
For those who don’t know, Shinsuke Nakamura recently showed his sinister side to the WWE Universe. Ever since his defeat against Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins, he has been yearning to find a challenger that allows him to break free. It would be interesting to see how Rhodes is going to play in this rivalry.
