One Big Thing
Brandi Rhodes publicly questioned GUNTHER’s comments about her daughter Liberty during the October 25th SmackDown, intensifying the personal nature of his upcoming Crown Jewel match with Cody Rhodes.
Why It Matters
The involvement of family members, particularly children, in wrestling storylines often signals a heightened level of tension and typically leads to more emotionally charged matches. This development adds another layer of complexity to the already anticipated champion vs. champion clash at Crown Jewel.
By The Numbers
• GUNTHER’s current Intercontinental Championship reign: 500+ days
• Cody Rhodes has mentioned Liberty in 3 separate promos this year
• Crown Jewel takes place in 7 days on November 2nd
Key Details
• Brandi’s response via Twitter: “Wait, what did he say about my daughter? I don’t usually be listening to him when he starts talking. Catch me up.”
• GUNTHER previously criticized Cody for mentioning Liberty during a promo in Columbia, NC
• This marks the first direct confrontation between Brandi and GUNTHER’s storyline
What’s Next
The personal nature of this feud sets up an intense showdown at Crown Jewel, where both GUNTHER’s Intercontinental Championship and Cody’s position as a top contender hang in the balance.
Peripheral Impact
Kevin Owens, originally part of Cody’s recent storylines, will now face Randy Orton at Crown Jewel following Orton’s direct request to Triple H during SmackDown.
