Despite all the tricks and shenanigans Logan Paul tried to pull off in Saudi Arabia, Cody Rhodes tackled them all and picked up the win. This was his second successful title defense after winning the title at WrestleMania XL. After retaining his Undisputed WWE Title, The American Nightmare shared a wholesome message on social media.

Cody Rhodes took to X and talked about the special night he had in Saudi Arabia. He thanked all the fans who came to watch him wrestle. The 38-year-old star couldn’t wait to meet his family, especially his loving daughters. He dedicated the match to his wife, Brandi Rhodes , who had just undergone surgery.

After he finished his story and defeated Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL, many fans weren’t sure what to expect from Rhodes. However, in his feuds against both AJ Styles and Logan Paul, he proved that he could build an amazing rivalry and consistently put on spectacular matches. Ahead of his match against The Maverick, the former Stardust praised him and said he was way better than he had any right to be.

On the latest episode of SmackDown, the 38-year-old star had a small confrontation with his mentor, Randy Orton. Fans could have witnessed the long-awaited match between them at SummerSlam, but The Viper failed to defeat Gunther in the King of the Ring tournament final. The WWE Universe is eager to know who will be Rhodes’ next challenger for the gold.

Although The Maverick lost the match, he had no reason to be ashamed of his performance at all. He did everything he could to win, even coming prepared with extra brass knuckles. However, Rhodes’ in-ring experience was just too much for him to handle. Logan Paul broke his silence on social media after the heartbreaking loss.

The 29-year-old star took to X and stated how much fun he had during his match against The American Nightmare. He thanked his adversary for the title match and showed that despite all the differences between them, they respect each other professionally. While Rhodes was impressed by the improvement in his wrestling in such a short time, Paul also supported him during the whole WrestleMania XL saga.

Since becoming the United States Champion at Crown Jewel last year, Logan hasn’t defended his title much. It is speculated that he will defend his title at SummerSlam this year in his hometown, Cleaveland. Many fans are predicting that opponent to be LA Knight , as on the latest episode of SmackDown, both superstars crossed paths backstage. Only time will tell what the future holds for The Maverick.
