During Saturday’s WWE WrestleMania 38 (Night One) pay-per-view event, we saw the return of “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes to WWE following a six-year absence from the company.
Rhodes would go on to defeat Seth Rollins via pinfall after connecting with three Cross Rhodes and a Bionic Elbow, as a tribute to his father – the late “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes. An emotional Cody Rhodes celebrated his victory with the WWE Universe.
