WWE WrestleMania 38: Cody Rhodes defeats Seth Rollins in a shocking return; Bianca Belair beats Becky Lynch to win Raw Women's Championship

The return of the American Nightmare shocked Rollins, who wasn’t ready for Rhodes. Both men exchanged heavy blows to each other during the intense match. With Rollins’ consecutive strikes on Cody Rhodes, he aimed to win the match. Both wrestlers weren’t stopping as they left the fans stunned with a display of an incredible amount of strength.  

Former AEW star Cody Rhodes made a shocking return to WWE as Seth Rollins’ mystery opponent in WrestleMania 38 after Vince McMahon gave his word to Rollins for a WrestleMania match with an opponent of McMahon’s choice.

Following an impressive pyro display, Rhodes used his AEW theme music, entrance (trap door and all), and even his AEW ring gear.

Fans were delighted with Rhodes’ return and they gave him an overwhelmingly warm welcome, popping huge for his music and showering him with “Cody” chants throughout the match. Fans erupted into a loud standing ovation prior to the match even beginning.
