Undisputed WWE Champion

In a recent episode of “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” Smith talked about how happy he was about Cody Rhodes’ historic WWE Championship victory over Roman Reigns.

Because Rhodes is the son of wrestling veteran Dusty Rhodes, Smith acknowledged the lineage he holds and congratulated Rhodes for his tenacity during his two-year journey to win the title.

“I think Cody Rhodes is great. I’m relieved that he has at last captured this championship; it had eluded him for a while. The Thursday morning before this event, I had an interview with him while working during the day. I have a lot of affection for this man. I really enjoy him.

He is Dusty Rhodes’ son—the embodiment of the American Dream. Recall that. The NWA era and everything. Cody Rhodes is a major player.

“I like him when he competed for the heavyweight title in the main event on Sunday. I really enjoy him. I’m relieved that he attained his goal. He had been waiting for this and really wanted it. Finished it, and in my opinion, it’s not just about your wrestling prowess—you also need to be a master smack talker.”

The rise of Cody Rhodes to the title of Undisputed WWE Champion is evidence of his extraordinary talent, unwavering work ethic, and his family’s longstanding influence in the professional wrestling industry.

Rhodes’s journey serves as a source of encouragement for both fans and aspiring wrestlers as they honor this momentous occasion.
