Cody Rhodes, the Undisputed WWE Champion, has had successful title defenses against formidable opponents AJ Styles and Logan Paul. His recent appearance on NXT has sparked excitement and speculation about potential feuds. Here are four NXT Superstars who could face off with Rhodes for the top prize:
Ethan Page, a former Ring of Honor star and All Elite Wrestling alumnus, joined WWE and has been making an impact on NXT. Page and Rhodes share a history, as they were tag team champions together. A match between these two would be a nod to their past and might be WWE’s way of acknowledging their previous accomplishments. The two were recently on NXT together, which could signify a potential feud brewing.
Wes Lee, an exceptionally talented wrestler, has a history of impressive performances on WWE shows. After recovering from a severe back injury, Lee returned to the ring with the same skill and agility that garnered attention. A match between Lee and Rhodes would showcase both of their skills and might be a preview of future main events.

Oba Femi, a rising star on NXT, has quickly climbed the ranks and has yet to meet his match. Femi has defeated all opponents, including holding the NXT North American Championship. Rhodes, who is known for accepting challenges, might find his match in the formidable Femi. A feud between these two would undoubtedly be a historic encounter for the Undisputed WWE Title.
Trick Williams, a popular figure on the NXT roster, had an intense exchange with Rhodes recently. With the crowd backing the idea, it’s possible that Ava or Shawn Michaels could arrange a title match between Rhodes and Williams. As a result, the potential match has piqued the audience’s interest and could be a historic encounter for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
