Cody Rhodes suggested that the company is moving toward featuring him in the main event, expressing admiration for fellow WWE stars. As a seasoned WWE Champion familiar with rising to megastar status, adapting across promotions, and returning as top-tier talent, Rhodes has been a major highlight at three WrestleManias. His recent remarks hint that the SmackDown standout is on a path toward this pinnacle.
Rhodes expressed interest in meeting American singer-songwriter Jerry Roll, discussing their recent conversation about SummerSlam. Both praised wrestler Jacob Fatu, highlighting especially the impressive American Nightmare.
At SummerSlam, the Samoan wrestler Jacob Fatu lost to SoloSicore in a steel cage match for the US Championship due to interference from Sikoa’s MFT faction. However, it’s clear from booking decisions that bigger opportunities are planned for Fatu. Over the past year, the 35-year-old has naturally grown into a fan favorite, showcasing incredible athleticism and in-ring skills despite his 291-pound frame.
Despite the current crowded main event scene after SummerSlam, Fatu continues to dominate the midcard, having held the US title for 70 days. His next step might be stepping up to compete for world titles.
Paul Heyman, a key WWE figure both on-screen and behind the scenes, has worked closely with Fatu during the Bloodline 2.0 storyline and sees great potential in him. Speaking on the Ariel Helwani Show, Heyman predicted that Fatu is destined to become a top star, possibly the company’s long-term answer alongside Bron Breaker. Fatu recognizes the chance to make history as part of WWE’s prominent Samoan dynasty, recently a major focus in the promotion.
Fan Take: This development signals a significant shift in WWE’s landscape, as rising stars like Jacob Fatu gain momentum to challenge the established main eventers. For fans, it means fresh, exciting matchups and the evolution of new wrestling dynasties that could shape WWE’s future storylines.
