Cody Rhodes captured the ROH World Championship from Christopher Daniels at last night’s Best in the World Pay Per View.
This marks the first World Title to be held by a Rhodes family member in 31 years (that of course being legend Dusty Rhodes). Cody now makes his way to the New Japan Pro Wrestling G1 Specials in July against IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada….Cody has been promising fans that he will be a double World Champion, could it happen?
