Gabe Kidd Dares Cody Rhodes to Defend WWE Title at Wrestle Dynasty

Gabe Kidd isn’t pulling any punches ahead of the monumental Wrestle Dynasty event at the Tokyo Dome on January 5. The NJPW standout has already stirred the pot by calling out Randy Orton, but now he’s taken things to the next level by challenging WWE’s top star, Cody Rhodes, to put his Undisputed WWE Championship on the line.

Kidd made waves on Twitter with a direct challenge to Orton, writing:
“.@RandyOrton WHAT YOU SAYING FAM SPEAK TO YOUR BOSS AND COME FIGHT ME YOU COULD NEVER DO WHAT I DO IF YOU DISAGREE, COME DO SOMETHING.”

But Orton wasn’t enough. Kidd turned his fire toward Rhodes, throwing down a bold and unapologetic demand for a WWE title match at Wrestle Dynasty. His words left little room for doubt:

“I’M PAST THE POINT OF CARING WHAT THESE MAN WHO’VE BEEN CHILLING IN THIS GAME FOR 20+ YEARS THINK. @CodyRhodes I’VE BEAT YOU CLEAN. IF YOU A REAL CHAMP, COME TO THE TOKYO DOME AND DEFEND THAT WWE TITLE AGAINST ME. WHAT YOU GOT TO LOSE, PUSSY. LET’S CHANGE THE GAME.”

With WWE increasingly sending its stars to promotions around the globe, including AJ Styles, IYO SKY, and Shinsuke Nakamura in Japan, a Rhodes-Kidd clash at Wrestle Dynasty isn’t outside the realm of possibility. The event promises to feature talent from NJPW, AEW, CMLL, STARDOM, and ROH, and a WWE Championship match would only amplify the excitement.

As of now, Cody Rhodes hasn’t responded to Kidd’s fiery words, but fans are already buzzing over the potential for this blockbuster showdown. Will the American Nightmare rise to the challenge, or will Kidd’s taunts go unanswered?
