Though everyone is happy for Sami Zayn, Cody Rhodes losing the Undisputed WWE title at Night of Champions 2026 seems like a mistake for major reasons. In this article, we will be looking at three reasons why.

#3. Kil*s the purpose of his feud with Randy Orton

Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes were engaged in a feud for WrestleMania this year. The Viper failed to dethrone the American Nightmare, but in the post-match, he destroyed Cody and stood tall.

Following this, Orton has been absent from WWE television and has yet to make his comeback. The whole point of Randy and Cody’s storyline was that the Apex Predator desires to become World Champion again.

They still have unfinished business, but now that Rhodes lost the Championship at the Saudi Arabia show, it ended the whole purpose of this feud.

If Randy returns to WWE in the forthcoming weeks, he will get nothing in return, even if he beats Cody Rhodes. Considering this, the Prodigal Son losing the Championship seems like a mistake.

#2. Sami Zayn’s reign isn’t going to last long

Sami Zayn’s World Champion storyline proves that dreams come true, but his title reign will not last long. It’s a harsh reality to admit that Zayn is merely a transitional Champion in the Stamford-based promotion.

The Undisputed WWE Champion is likely to lose the title soon, probably at Saturday Night’s Main Event. There is a hypothetical storyline in which Brock Lesnar or Gunther might challenge Sami for a match at the upcoming special event.

This will result in a title change, and Zayn will eventually drop the title. If this holds, then Cody Rhodes losing the title would be a mistake.

#1. Another underwhelming WWE reign

Sami Zayn’s title reign is expected to be another underwhelming reign in the Sports Entertainment juggernaut. The reign isn’t likely to have massive feuds or a high-profile storyline.

The only major story of Sami Zayn could be a feud with Kevin Owens. Meanwhile, the Prize Fighter is currently on hiatus from the company. Considering that Sami Zayn’s reign isn’t anticipated to be great, Cody Rhodes losing the title at Night of Champions appears to be a mistake.

Rest, it remains to be seen how the storyline progresses and what will happen with Sami Zayn as the Undisputed Champion.
