The road to WrestleMania 39 continues, and with the buzzworthy show only two weeks away, WWE announced that "The American Nightmare" will appear live on the March 17 episode of WWE SmackDown. Rhodes continues to feud with The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, The Usos & Solo Sikoa) as he is set to challenge Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39.
From WWE:
Two weeks from the biggest match of Cody Rhodes’ career, the WWE Universe will hear from The American Nightmare tonight on SmackDown.
Between his upcoming WrestleMania showdown with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, which seemingly gets more personal by the day, and his recent interactions with fellow Bloodline rivals Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, there’s no shortage of topics for Rhodes to address.
