The WWE United States Championship will be contested in a fatal four-way match as champion Jacob Fatu defends against Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, and Damian Priest. The superstar at the center of these return rumors is none other than "The American Nightmare," Cody Rhodes.

PWInsider reports that there's been at least one pitch behind the scenes for Cody Rhodes to launch his comeback at Backlash 2025 this weekend. The ex- WWE Champion, who has been the company's top babyface for years now, hasn't been seen since dropping the top belt to John Cena on night two at WrestleMania 41.
