Cody Rhodes continues his journey as Undisputed WWE Championship

Cody Rhodes has been on a dominant run as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion since capturing the title in the main event of WrestleMania 40. This monumental victory came after a year-long journey that saw him fall short against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. The win at WrestleMania 40 marked a significant moment in Cody's career as he became the champion that many had long hoped he would be.
His reign has been a strong one, with Cody proving time and time again that he's not only capable of holding the title, but also defending it against some of WWE’s toughest competitors. In his most recent defense at WWE Bash In Berlin 2024, Cody successfully retained his title against Kevin Owens, showcasing his resilience and ability to overcome high-profile challengers. Prior to that, he defended the championship against Solo Sikoa in an intense Steel Cage match on a recent episode of SmackDown. This match was particularly brutal, emphasizing Cody's determination and grit as a champion.
While Cody's reign is still ongoing, it’s been a remarkable journey so far, with the 190-day mark already in the rearview mirror. He’s fast approaching a major milestone: 200 days as champion. This would solidify his position among the most celebrated reigns in WWE history.
As it stands, Cody currently ranks as the 28th longest-reigning WWE Champion of all time, having surpassed many iconic names along the way. Right now, he sits just behind Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson), who held the title for 210 days, a reign that has long been remembered as one of the most impactful of the modern era.
For Cody, this reign not only solidifies his status as one of WWE's top stars but also continues his legacy as a leader in the industry. His story is one of perseverance, as he’s now surpassed the 190-day milestone, a feat few can claim. What’s even more impressive is that Cody is still very much in his prime, with plenty of potential defenses ahead, including the ongoing rivalry with Kevin Owens. Their feud, which continues to captivate fans, is poised to add even more depth to Cody’s reign and his legacy as champion.
As Cody approaches the 200-day mark, the question on everyone’s mind is how long he can maintain his hold on the title. With his current form, there’s no telling just how far he could go in WWE’s history books.
