Cody Rhodes
Despite losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre in their Three Stages of Hell battle during last Friday’s SmackDown, there is still a lot of intrigue for Femi to stir things up with Cody Rhodes. A title definitely does not need to be on the line for their feud to be legendary.
For starters, Femi and Rhodes didn’t get to finish what they started when they faced each other at Saturday Night’s Main Event in December 2025. Femi not only held his own against Rhodes but at times dominated the match, proving he is more than ready for a big-league feud. Because the bout did not end with a definitive winner, a rematch storyline would not be out of the question.
Rhodes has been heavily pushed as the top face of the WWE in recent years. Having Femi try to prove that it is he, rather than Rhodes, who should be the top superstar would be another interesting dynamic, as we don’t often see “face vs. face” rivalries.
Finally, if Femi manages to defeat Rhodes in a 1-on-1 match, it would be imposing, as “The American Nightmare” has only lost six times in televised singles matches since making his return in 2022, positioning Femi as a top dominant powerhouse.
