Since Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14th, fans have been waiting to know when Cody Rhodes will settle the score with Kevin Owens after things got really personal there. In the end, the match was as chaotic as it could have possibly been as Rhodes clung onto the Undisputed WWE Championship before Owens laid a brutal Package Piledriver on him, placing Rhodes on a stretcher really injured and Owens strutting off with the Winged Eagle title.
As the rivalry between Cody Rhodes and Owens hits its boiling point in the lead-up to WWE’s upcoming Netflix debut, here are three dramatic ways Cody could return to WWE.

3. Cody Rhodes Comes to the Rescue
Cody Rhodes could make his appearance during a segment where Kevin Owens is in the ring with another wrestler, or attacking another WWE star. This jumping in to save the day would instantly remind fans why he’s a hero and fuel Owens’ animosity. What if Rhodes rushed in to stop the attack and an intense face-off between him and Owens would follow? That would get fans cheering for Cody and his budding feud with Owens would be all the more exciting.
2. Surprise Assault on Kevin Owens Backstage
Rhodes could return to get his revenge on Owens on the final SmackDown of the year. Just imagine Owens bragging backstage or in his car about his “championship win” until Rhodes surprises him with a vicious attack. A fight between them would show Cody’s anger, and when officials step in, it would make their fight even bigger. That would open the door for what would be an epic rematch in 2025.
1. Announced for RAW’s Netflix Debut
The return of Cody Rhodes could be one of the highlights of WWE’s debut on Netflix on January 6, 2025. By announcing his return before he makes his comeback, it will only add to the excitement for the show as it’s being treated as a mini-Wrestlemania. Imagine Rhodes cutting a passionate promo, calling out Kevin Owens for his betrayal, and promising revenge. Rhodes’ return would bring even more star power to this big night with huge matches such as CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa already planned.
