Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL: Rhea Ripley Praises The American Nightmare’s Trait That Got Him the Main Event

Though not the main attraction, Rhea Ripley and other top WWE stars were present during the eventful WrestleMania 40 Kickoff event. In a recent interview with FightFul Select, Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley took a shot at Cody Rhodes. As a joke, Rhea Ripley poked fun at Cody Rhodes and a “trait” that may have potentially gotten him the main event. No, not his brawn, but on the contrary, his brain.

Sean Ross Sapp stated that he had interviewed Cody Rhodes and the topic of the size of his head had come up. Ripley smiled and responded, “Of course he did. Yeah, look, his head is a little bit bigger than normal. He’s got a lot of knowledge in there, unlike a lot of you.”

At WrestleMania 39, Ripley won, but Rhodes lost in the main event to Roman Reigns before the end of his story. Since he won the men’s Royal Rumble match in 2024, The American Nightmare seems to have another shot this year. Though this may be impeded by the involvement of Dwayne Johnson.
