Cody Rhodes Sends Out Challenge For 8/23 WWE SmackDown

WWE is gearing up for a major SmackDown at the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC, with Cody Rhodes set to appear as the Undisputed WWE Champion. This week, Rhodes has his sights on one of the WWE Universe’s most notorious trolls, Grayson Waller.

Grayson Waller is known for his ability to get under people’s skin and isn’t shy about standing up for the pro wrestling business when necessary. However, he has a knack for stirring the pot whenever he gets the chance.

Grayson Waller took to social media to provoke fans, suggesting that Cody Rhodes has always been the villain in his own story. He posted on Twitter, aiming directly at Rhodes with the message.

“I can’t wait for the day people wake up and realise that Cody Rhodes has always been the bad guy in the ‘story.’”

A few hours later, Rhodes responded, challenging Waller to meet him on SmackDown to see just how much of a “bad guy” he can be. Rhodes tweeted out to make this point, so fans will have to wait and see how WWE books this confrontation.

“Interesting take @GraysonWWE, how about we have a chat tomorrow on #SmackDown and I can show you how much of a ‘bad guy’ I can be.”

WWE is currently in one of its most successful periods, and Cody Rhodes plays a significant role as one of the company’s top draws. His status as a fan-favorite babyface will likely be reinforced if he confronts Waller on SmackDown.

Looking ahead, Cody Rhodes is set to defend the WWE Undisputed Title against Kevin Owens at Bash in Berlin on August 31. The storyline has been compelling, with Owens questioning whether he deserves the title shot. Waller and his A-Town Down Under partner, Austin Theory, have been taunting Owens since this storyline began, and it seems Cody is ready to step in.
