Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes is currently on a short hiatus from WWE programming as he films his role as Guile in the upcoming Street Fighter movie.
Initially, reports suggested that Rhodes’ status for WrestlePalooza on Saturday, September 20th, was uncertain. However, Dave Meltzer noted on a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that Rhodes will indeed return in time to participate in the show and defend his championship against Drew McIntyre.
Adding to that, Paul “Triple H” Levesque appeared on The Pat McAfee Show this week and directly confirmed Rhodes’ participation at WrestlePalooza.
WrestlePalooza is scheduled for Saturday, September 20th, at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. The event will mark the debut of WWE’s premium live events (PLEs) on ESPN’s new app. Notably, the show will run the same weekend as AEW All Out, which has shifted its start time to 3 PM ET to avoid direct head-to-head competition.
