No one could have won the Royal Rumble, but the returning fated hero, Cody Rhodes. From the early return announcement to the #30 spot in the match, the Royal Rumble was for the American Nightmare to win. But the question now is, can he live up to it?
While Dusty Rhodes, his father, was a big name in the industry, he could never break into the main event. The story of his brother, Goldust, or Dustin Rhodes in WWE is different altogether. Nonetheless, the Rhodes family has shown that their imprint is crucial in the industry. So, it is amazing that Cody is not only able to get the fans behind him, but also the people backstage.

Cody Rhodes almost committed a mishap after winning Royal Rumble
On The Bump, Cody Rhodes was talking about his victory at the Royal Rumble. While he was also talking about the victory itself, they were talking about pointing. So, it is an unwritten rule or ritual in WWE that if someone wins the Rumble; they have to point to the WrestleMania sign on the top opposite the entrance.
He mentioned, “You know something I noticed with all this pointing that’s going on lately? This is literally just a technical note. Is the WrestleMania sign this year genuinely way bigger? It’s like the whole side of the arena. Can’t miss it. I actually, at the moment, right after Gunther went over the top rope, had a weird technical fear of, I don’t wanna miss it. How could I ever miss that sign?”

Everyone was waiting for this moment from the very start when Cody returned to WWE at last year’s WrestleMania. Despite the cheers after his win, the people on Twitter didn’t really enjoy seeing Cody win. The fans were quick to react on social media as they made it known how they felt through their words.
