Amidst the culmination of the years-long storyline of The Bloodline and the rise of The Judgment Day, there's an ongoing saga that's as uniquely compelling.
It's a story that stretches back decades, involving a son's quest to reach a pinnacle his legendary father never did. It's the story of Cody Rhodes.
Ever since Cody returned to WWE at the beginning of the year and won the Royal Rumble, a haunting phrase has been a constant in his ears: "Finish the story." This mantra, once cryptic, was clarified by Rhodes in recent press interactions following the Money in the Bank event. https://youtu.be/KsKVBw0c3NM
It all circles back to Dusty Rhodes, Cody's late father, fondly remembered by fans as "The American Dream." Dusty never won WWE's top prize, a historical fact that has fuelled Cody's pursuit. Despite Dusty holding the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, Cody desires a title his father never clinched. This isn't merely about personal glory; it's a son's mission to accomplish what his father couldn't, to write a closing chapter that the Rhodes family story lacks.
The recent unveiling of the World Heavyweight Championship title, the main belt for the flagship show, 'Monday Night Raw,' ignited speculation. Could this be the title that will let Cody "finish the story?" The wrestling community wondered if it would be judicious for Rhodes to claim this particular title.
