Cody Rhodes has finally broke his silence about his WWE return, so we’ll see what
he had to say.
We’ll also see what happened with Ronda Rousey and other events that went down at
night one of Wrestlemania
Starting things off with Ronda Rousey versus Charlotte Flair
This match between Charlotte and Ronda was expected to main event night one of Wrestlemania
ever since it was first confirmed to happen earlier in the year
But once WWE and Stone Cold Steve Austin agreed to a match, rumors started gaining momentum
on Stone Cold and Kevin Owens possibly main eventing night one of Wrestlemania
And the final days leading up to Wrestlemania night one was very confusing because you had
Kevin Owens speaking on Raw about how it’ll be a Wrestlemania main event edition of the
KO Show, basically confirming that he and Stone Cold would close night one
But nearly 24 hours later, Ronda Rousey appears on Ellen and talks about how she and Charlotte
Flair will be main eventing Wrestlemania for the second time and how it was so special
and important to her
Well as we now know, Kevin Owens was right and Ronda Rousey ended up being wrong
Ronda Rousey and Charlotte was the last scheduled match on the card for night one, but after
the bell rang for Stone Cold Steve Austin and Kevin Owens, they officially took that
main event spot from Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair
So you can no longer really call Ronda and Charlotte two-time Wrestlemania main eventers
because they weren’t the last match of night one
Reports are now claiming that allegedly Ronda Rousey was furious when she finally learned
about the truth behind who was main eventing night one of Wrestlemania 38
Reports even claimed that Ronda Rousey walked out after Smackdown because of this issue
and wasn’t at the Hall Of Fame ceremony, some wondered at that point if she actually
quit or not
A lot of fans also thought that Charlotte and Ronda ended up being stuck at a pretty
weird spot on the card.
They had to follow up Cody and Seth, as well as Bianca and Becky, and Stone Cold Steve
Austin was coming up after them, so it was tough
Another shock about the Ronda and Charlotte match is that Ronda actually lost
Yeah, Ronda had that moment of making Charlotte tap when the referee was down, but as far
as the actual match itself, Charlotte Flair retained her title in probably one of the
most shocking outcomes of the night
Ronda was one of the biggest favorites for night one and almost everyone expected her
to have her wrestlemania moment by becoming the new Smackdown women’s champion, but
it surprisingly didn’t happen
So is Ronda still sticking around?
Is she gonna win the title at Backlash?
That’s what we’ll have to wait on

It’s been rumored for months now that Cody Rhodes would be returning to WWE, like Cody
even joked about himself, it was the worst kept secret in wrestling
everyone knew that Cody would most likely be Seth’s opponent and it came true
Cody Rhodes kept his entire AEW presentation, from his entrance, to his ring gear, to his
theme, to his overall character…
they let him bring everything over to WWE
Cody had one of the greatest matches of the night with Seth Rollins, paid tribute to his
late father Dusty Rhodes and picked up the win
Cody Rhodes shared his thoughts on his WWE return through several interviews right after
the match went down
Cody said that when he was approached with the idea, even though it was something that
he thought he would never do, it was the easiest decision of his life
He also said that his late father, Dusty Rhodes, also played a part in his decision.
He wanted to come back to WWE to win the big one and dedicate it to his father because
something he always wanted to do was win the world title for Dusty
Cody said he wants to be where Brock and Roman is at right now, that’s what he wants to
compete for
Cody said that he believes that he’s the best wrestler in the world and the only way
to prove it is to be here in WWE and beat the absolute best
He also gave a lot of credit to Seth Rollins
He talked about how he was a part of Seth’s first dark match in WWE several years ago
and now seth is one of the greatest wrestlers on the planet
Then during an interview with Variety, Cody touched on the same ideas that be mentioned
during his WWE Interview
He said that the only reason why wanted to get into the ring as a kid was to win the
title his father never had and that was the main WWE world title
He wants what his father never had the chance to hold, that’ll be his way of honoring
Dusty Rhodes and that’s what he wants to get done in WWE
Cody also said that his AEW departure had nothing to do with money or creative control.
He mentioned how loved everyone there and wished them nothing but the best
Cody also confirmed that his American Nightmare persona will be sticking with him during this
WWE run
So it was a real emotional return for Cody Rhodes, but he made it quite clear what he’s
after and that’s the WWE world title
After Wrestlemania 38, there’s now only one world title in WWE, so Cody Rhodes would
have to work his way into contender-ship to make that dream come true for Dusty Rhodes
So it’s such a great story and he already laid out his clear objective as well, so it’ll
be fun to see how this all unfolds for Cody Rhodes
—————
As far as some other Night one events that went down, one of the big stories of the night
was that Sheamus and The New Day’s entire match was cut for time related reasons
That wasn’t the only thing cut, a Drew McIntyre special entrance was also cut for time related
reasons
But Sheamus seemed to be upset after the match cancellation, he posted the scissors emoji
on twitter, of course representing the fact that his match was cut
Kofi Kingston also posted a message on how this is just part of the business with all
the ups and downs
But likely for them, WWE moved the match to night two, so at least it wasn’t a full
cancellation like many fans first expected
Then in the Becky Lynch versus Bianca Belair matchup, the great storytelling continued
Bianca Belair defeated Becky Lynch at Wrestlemania, officially putting an end to Becky’s long
streak
Becky Lynch had appeared as a champion for every active day in WWE dating back to Wrestlemania
35, but that streak is now over after this loss to Bianca Belair
And Becky even said it way back in October.
She said that if Bianca and herself had a long match at Summerslam and Bianca loses,
nothing would really come from that, Bianca just lost
But if Bianca got robbed of the title, it plants a better story there and gets the fans
behind Bianca Belair and really root for her to succeed
6 months later, and everyone can now see the bigger picture of the story that last year’s
Summerslam was setting up
That embarrassing Summerslam loss ended up having a great long term payoff of this Wrestlemania
win for Bianca Belair
Bianca Belair is now undefeated at Wrestlemania with two wins and zero losses and those two
wins were back to back world title wins, so don’t look now, but Bianca Belair is starting
to create a nice little Wrestlemania streak here
Bianca has also defeated three out of the four horsewomen, Charlotte Flair is the only
one that remains, so we’ll most definitely take a deeper look at that potential matchup
in the coming days
