Nick Aldis Confirms Cody Rhodes’ Next WWE Appearance
Cody Rhodes lost the Champion vs. Champion match against Seth Rollins at Crown Jewel.
The victory enabled the Visionary to establish himself as a dominant champion while also breaking the streak of three consecutive losses against The American Nightmare.
Since that defeat, there has been significant development in WWE. The Vision turned on Seth Rollins, and there is a chance that Rollins will vacate the title owing to a shoulder injury he sustained at Crown Jewel.
Cody Rhodes will address the situation on WWE SmackDown
On the upcoming episode of SmackDown on October 17th, 2025, Cody Rhodes will speak to the WWE Universe about suffering a loss at the hands of Seth Rollins and also what happened on WWE RAW.
General Manager Nick Aldis took to social media to confirm Rhodes’ appearance on SmackDown tonight.
Good evening everyone, it’s your SmackDown GM Nick Aldis. We are previewing tomorrow night’s SmackDown, coming to you live from beautiful, San Jose, California. And it’s unfamiliar territory for one Mr Cody Rhodes, because Cody, as great as he is, is not used to taking an L, and he took an L last weekend in South Australia against the great Seth Rollins in what was an epic match, an unbelievable match, but nonetheless, Cody came out on the wrong end of that, and he will be addressing that match. And I’m sure he’ll have something to say about the ensuing aftermath we saw on Monday Night on RAW.

Jacob Fatu had hinted at being Cody Rhodes’ next challenger after Seth Rollins. However, with The Samoan Werewolf injured, fans can expect a new challenger to rise on SmackDown.
