Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes made his highly anticipated return to the ring during a WWE live event in Jacksonville, Florida, this week. In the main event, Rhodes triumphed over Kevin Owens in a steel cage match, exacting revenge on the self-proclaimed \"Real\" WWE Champion who had sidelined him for weeks.

Rhodes had been absent from in-ring action since WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14, where he controversially retained his title against Owens. Following the show, Owens attacked Rhodes, delivering a package piledriver that left The American Nightmare injured and written off TV. At the Jacksonville event, Rhodes made a dramatic entrance wearing a neck brace, which he removed before stepping inside the cage.
Owens has continued to assert himself as the \"Real\" WWE Champion, even carrying the classic Winged Eagle title as evidence of his claim. This has left fans speculating about a potential title-for-title clash, possibly at an upcoming Premium Live Event or WWE Raw\'s impending debut on Netflix. While a rematch between Rhodes and Owens has yet to be officially announced on television, it seems like a natural progression for WWE\'s action-packed start to the new year.
Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Cody Rhodes as the Undisputed WWE Champion is set on recreating his massive success in 2024 in the new year.
