The majority of the WWE Universe hopes to see Cody Rhodes finish his story at WrestleMania 40. Jonathan Coachman also believes that The American Nightmare is in a must-win situation.
Last year, The American Nightmare won the Royal Rumble match by entering at number 30. But he failed to defeat Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. This year, Cody Rhodes entered at number 15 and managed to win the Rumble yet again. Now, Rhodes will be yet again challenging The Tribal Chief at the grandest stage of them all.
During a recent episode of the Busted Open Radio podcast, Jonathan Coachman shared that Rhodes must dethrone Reigns and it should be done at WrestleMania 40.
“I say yes, he has to,” Coachman said. “There’s a lot of people that say ‘Wins and losses don’t matter.’ I’ve said at times ‘It’s all about the stories. Wins and losses don’t matter.’ For this story, and the fact that he came back in a redemption story, and you lead up for two full years? That’s a long time when you’re doing TV every single week. People talk about Hulkster back in the day and all those guys, they weren’t on TV every single week. So to me, at some point, you’ve got to pay it off. And you pay it off at a big win.
“If you don’t do that, and he does it at, say, SummerSlam?” Coachman said. “To me, it’s kind of ‘whah whah whah’ moment, because everything leads up to WrestleMania. So my answer, to you, would be yes, he needs to [win].” [H/T Wrestling Inc.]
