WWE legend breaks silence on Cody Rhodes using previously banned move to defeat Logan Paul at King and Queen of the Ring PLE

Perfect technique. Hurricane on X

For those unversed, the Vertebreaker was the finishing move of The Hurricane back in 2002. However, due to the chances of permanent damage to the neck of the opponent, WWE decided to ban the move in 2004. Despite that, it has been executed several times in the other promotions thereafter. The Undisputed Champion brought back such an iconic move, which once again highlights the wave of a new era in WWE.

All in all, getting appreciation from the veteran must mean a lot to the 38-year-old star. Interestingly, Hurricane Helms was later revealed to be the producer of the main event bout. It will be interesting to see if Rhodes is going to use this move on several occasions or if it is going to work as the ‘Mangekyo Sharingan’ for the American Nightmare.

The King and Queen of the Ring PLE ended last night with Cody Rhodes celebrating the win with the Saudi Arabian crowd. It was a pretty wholesome moment to see the American Nightmare sharing his triumph with his fans at the Jeddah Superdome. Although the cameras were off, the Undisputed Champion had some choice of words for the fans and even for his opponent, Logan Paul.

Rhodes took to the microphone to express his love for his fans. He went on to appreciate the Maverick for such an incredible showing and a tough fight, while the crowd gave a round of applause to the Social Media Megastar. Nonetheless, the 38-year-old also praised the crowd in Jeddah for their enthusiasm and promised that he couldn’t wait to be back there.

Incredible showing by United States Champion Logan Paul. Well, this is it for now, I cannot wait until I see you all again. God bless you guys, thank you all very much. Take care of each other, have a goodnight, I love you all Cody Rhodes

The WWE Universe in Saudi Arabia was backing the two-time Royal Rumble winner throughout the match. It shows the superstardom Dusty Rhodes‘ son has achieved. Furthermore, it establishes him as a future Hall of Famer. However, that is the case for the future. Rhodes still has many hurdles to overcome, as he shared in his first reaction after the show.
