Cody Rhodes Pitches Made For WWE Backlash

Cody Rhodes has not been seen since his crushing loss at WrestleMania 41, but could he really be back in WWE at Backlash?

At WrestleMania 41, John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes to win his historic 17th World Title. Cean didn’t win the match alone as Travis Scott distracted The American Nightmare just as he was closing in on victory. While Rhodes dropped Scott with a Cross Rhodes, the rap star recovered and pulled the referee out of the ring just as Cena looked beaten.

Rhodes was able to keep the upper hand, but his refusal to hit Cena with the title belt cost him when the veteran hit him with a low blow and nailed him with the belt to claim the win.

Cody Rhodes has not been seen since that loss but has been advertised to appear on the May 16 edition of SmackDown. However, some in WWE want The American Nightmare back before then.

Cody Rhodes To Appear At Backlash?

PWInsider has reported that there have been pitches made in WWE for Cody Rhodes to return at Backlash on May 10. It has not been confirmed if Rhodes will be at that show in St. Louis, but it’s certainly a topic of discussion in the company.

Backlash will see John Cena defend his WWE Championship against his old rival Randy Orton.
