Cody Rhodes Targeted: WWE Star’s Ambush Adds Intrigue to Knoxville Showdown
In a surprising twist at a recent live event in Knoxville, TN, Cody Rhodes, famously known as the American Nightmare, found himself in the crosshairs of a fellow WWE star following a heated match. The incident unfolded during the main event of the February 3 Road to WrestleMania, where Rhodes faced off against his familiar foe, Shinsuke Nakamura, in an intense Street Fight.
Despite Rhodes emerging victorious in their on-screen rivalry, Nakamura was not content to let him walk away unscathed. WWE cameras captured the dramatic moment as Rhodes, heading backstage at the Knoxville Civic Coliseum, was ambushed by Nakamura wielding his trademark red poison mist.

The motives behind Nakamura’s surprise ambush remain shrouded in mystery, prompting speculation about potential on-screen conflicts between the two wrestlers in the near future. Both competitors have consistently delivered intense performances on WWE’s live event circuit over the past six weeks.
