Since becoming the Undisputed WWE Champion when he beat Roman Reigns in the main event of the second night of WWE WrestleMania XL, Cody Rhodes has been on a strong run.
Following Mania, Rhodes entered into a program with AJ Styles that included him retaining the title at Backlash France and then again at Clash at the Castle in an I Quit match. Rhodes teamed with Kevin Owens and Randy Orton to fall short to The Bloodline (Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa & Tama Tonga) at the Money in the Bank PLE.
Rhodes went over Sikoa to retain his title after Roman Reigns made his return to screw Sikoa out of the title in the headliner of SummerSlam. At Bash in Berlin, Rhodes retained the title against Kevin Owens.
Rhodes had a rematch with Sikoa on an episode of SmackDown inside of a steel cage and has now resumed his program with Owens. He will meet World Champion GUNTHER for the Crown Jewel Title at Crown Jewel next Saturday.
Rhodes has now reached 200 days as champion. He currently sits as the 28th longest WWE Champion in history, just behind Daniel Bryan at 210.
