Fresh off his victory over Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, Cody Rhodes is on top of the WWE world. However, a recent development might cast a shadow over his upcoming trip to Japan.
WWE is returning to Japan for a three-show tour in July, featuring stars like Rhodes, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Drew McIntyre. This is exciting news for fans, especially with the Undisputed WWE Champion scheduled to appear.
A cryptic threat from an NJPW Champion
NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion Gabe Kidd has recently become more vocal. Following his win over Eddie Kingston, Kidd took to Twitter with a surprising message for Cody Rhodes.
Kidd posted a clip from their 2017 WCPW match, where he defeated Rhodes and issued a warning. He threatened to “slap up” Rhodes and take his championship title.
This situation intrigues WWE’s upcoming Japan tour. It’s been five years since WWE held an event in the country, and Cody Rhodes’ presence is sure to generate buzz. While it’s unclear if Kidd’s threat is serious, it creates an interesting dynamic for the champion’s visit.
