Cody Rhodes' first title defense is under his belt.
Who will be next?
"The American Nightmare" spoke about a certain "Mega Star" possibly being the next challenger for his WWE Universal Championship after defeating AJ Styles in the main event of Saturday's WWE Backlash: France premium live event.
While talking at the WWE Backlash: France post-show press conference, Rhodes mentioned LA Knight as someone he could see standing across the ring from him soon.
"LA Knight is somebody that I look at because, I get it, ‘it’s two good guys,'" Cody said when talking about his next potential challenger for the WWE Universal Championship."
Rhodes continued, "I understand that. There is a flavor there. There is something about it. When you have that fever, you want to know. ‘I’m the man.’ ‘No, I’m the man.’ All that macho toxic alpha stuff that I still have a bit of, I suppose."
