The Undertaker said that Rhodes’ life, though he had already been busy while chasing Reigns and the Undisputed WWE Championship, has already changed. He said that Rhodes immediately became the face of the company with the victory. The WWE Hall of Famer is confident that Rhodes is going to be a “workhorse” with the championship, and defend it a lot.

“He is now the one that’s doing the late night shows. He’s the one that is the spokesman,” Undertaker said. “Life changes… he was already doing quite a bit of that kind of stuff as it was, but now, it just exponentially grows. His calendar definitely gets a lot fuller. I think knowing him and his connection with his audience is, he’s going to work a lot because he wants to.”

Rhodes’ first title defense will be at Backlash in Lyon, France on Saturday. Rhodes will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against veteran AJ Styles, who defeated LA Knight for a shot at “The American Nightmare.” The pair are set to have a face-to-face meeting, after their contract signing on last week’s episode of “WWE SmackDown,” on Friday.
