Cody Rhodes has achieved everything he has dreamt of in his spellbound second WWE stint. The American Nightmare took a U-turn from his lackluster AEW run back in 2022 to come back to his old wrestling home to chase off his childhood dream. Defeating Roman Reigns in the main event of Wrestlemania 40, Cody won the Universal championship and introduced himself to the psyched-up fans, patiently awaiting the surreal moment to descend. Following the match, the 39-year-old has retained his title many times and is now looking to defend it against the new Tribal Chief (Solo Sikoa) at SummerSlam. But despite all that, Cody has yet to settle scores with another beloved superstar in the business, R-Truth.

Cody Rhodes addressed issues with R-Truth

Cody Rhodes’ first run at the WWE was full of undermining bookings. Among many setbacks, R-Truth was the one to give him multiple blows in the house shows and weekly TV shows. The Stardust gimmick almost fizzled out when the comic heel repeatedly rubbed him the wrong way. The American Nightmare once noted how uncooperative Truth was to him once upon a time. Rhodes reminded of the offending incident of Truth turning his head when he gave him a Crossroads, leading him to fall.

However, Truth touched the trigger point when he hit John Cena’s comeback at the Royal Rumble. Rhodes couldn’t watch it without doing anything. He recalled the moment during a recent episode of the ‘What Do You Wanna Talk About‘ podcast, where he had a candid conversation with Truth himself.

Addressing the displeasure, the American Nightmare noted, “It’s not a thing that can happen. Because you’re a big-time fan favorite… If people want to see what Rock Bottom looks like, look at me watching you do John Cena’s comeback in the Royal Rumble. All I wanted to do was get in and break it up so bad from the first little tackle. I wanted to trip you. I wanted to just… And I had to sit there and watch it. It happened to me… I was where I always am in a situation with you, I was outsmarted.”

Now, given how the two of them were chatting in a fun demeanor, it’s safe to say that the dust have settled, and Rhodes was just recalling an old story.

Can R-Truth and Cody Rhodes form a new ally to tackle Bloodline? Explained

Cody Rhodes has currently been in the middle of an intense Bloodline scuffle. On the debut night of the Samoan Werewolf, Cody, alongside his allies, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens received a hard blow from Jacob Fatu and the team. However, the drama didn’t stop there. In the following weeks, the American Nightmare again came across the ruthless faction and was engulfed in another brawl.

Consequently, Randy Orton was brutally taken out when he tried to take a stand for Rhodes. Next week, Cody called out the Bloodline for their heinous treatment of The Viper but ended up getting another beat-down. Given Cody is slated to come face-to-face with Sikoa at SummerSlam, he is currently in need of support as the previous ones were all finished off by the Bloodline.

Can R-Truth be the one to side with him on the big stage? Only time will unveil the rest. What’s your take on Cody Rhodes opening up about his old issues with R-Truth? Let us know in the comments.
