As per Wrestle Features, the 2023 Royal Rumble winner Rhodes has participated in 1499 WWE matches thus far in his career. Therefore, whenever he enters the ring to wrestle in his next fight, it will mark his 1500th career match. It will be a big milestone in Rhodes' growing list of achievements.

In the main event of WrestleMania 39, Rhodes had lost to Roman Reigns who successfully defended his Undisputed WWE Universal Champion title. However, Reigns' win was mired in controversy as he received assistance from The Bloodline members namely The Usos and Solo Sikoa during the title fight. Just before the climax of the match, Sikoa interfered and hit Rhodes with a Samoan spike which was not seen by the referee. It proved to be a major turning point as Reigns then hit The American Nightmare with a spear and pinned him to the count of three, thus winning the match.

Recently, Brock Lesnar got added to the list of Rhodes' rivals after The Beast Incarnate mercilessly beat him at the start of their tag team match against Reigns and Sikoa on Monday night Raw.
