Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes aims to prove that he’s the workhorse of WWE by reaching a milestone number of matches this year. On X, a fan shared the number of matches some of WWE’s top Superstars have competed in in 2024, and Rhodes shared that he’s eager to hit triple digits.
Rhodes will add another match to his record this Saturday when he faces Kevin Owens at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. Their deeply personal feud has been brewing since Bad Blood, where Owens attacked Rhodes following the show. Owens has justified his actions, claiming Rhodes betrayed him by teaming with Roman Reigns at the PLE despite all that the Tribal Chief has done to both men.
Last year, Rhodes competed in 102 matches across WWE TV and live events, including his first WrestleMania main event. In 2022, Rhodes competed 23 times for WWE, though spent much of that year on the shelf due to his torn pectoral injury. Rhodes’ first match of 2023 would see him win the Men’s Royal Rumble match, his first of back-to-back wins in the contest.
Highlights of Rhodes’ 2024 so far include headlining both nights of WrestleMania 40, as well as several other PLE main event matches. Mere days ahead of his win in Philadelphia, Rhodes inked a new contract with WWE that’ll keep him competing for the company for years to come.
Rhodes’ impressive numbers come in stark contrast to his predecessor Roman Reigns, who competed just a handful of times during his final years as champion. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Cody Rhodes as the American Nightmare continues to set the standard as WWE’s top Superstar.
