Following The Rock’s electrifying return on WWE Raw Day 1, speculation about a potential showdown between him and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 has ignited. This surge in possibilities, however, has seemingly decreased the likelihood of Cody Rhodes securing a rematch against Roman at the grand Show of Shows. Instead, Rhodes finds himself at the center of discussions for two blockbuster matches slated for WrestleMania 40.
Bully Ray recently delved into the potential Roman Reigns vs. The Rock match at WrestleMania 40 on Busted Open Radio, suggesting that if this epic clash materializes, Cody Rhodes could step into the ring against Randy Orton for this premium live event. Bully Ray expressed,“With big superstars available—whether it’s Punk, Seth, or the recently returned Rock—then there’s also Roman and Cody. I can’t forget Randy Orton’s name, which is crucial because we could witness Cody vs. Randy, a personal storyline, as opposed to the Universal Championship narrative.”
Fans’ desires align with this sentiment, craving not just the showdown between Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and The Rock but also envisioning Cody Rhodes in a significant role at WrestleMania 40. Wrestling veteran Bill Apter also echoed these sentiments during Sportskeeda Wrestling’s UnSKripted podcast, proposing the concept of a triple threat match at WrestleMania.
Bill weighed in on the idea of Cody Rhodes joining the fray amid a potential Roman Reigns vs. The Rock clash, suggesting,
“Everyone’s buzzing about this scenario, and I have a thought. If The Rock and Roman Reigns collide at WrestleMania 40, I don’t foresee The Rock winning the title. Instead, Roman might assist in elevating The Rock’s status further. Or perhaps they could involve Cody Rhodes, where Cody asserts, ‘I’ve been waiting for this story to conclude, and you, Rock, entered the scene. Let’s make it a Triple Threat. Let’s settle this.'”
The anticipation surrounding potential WrestleMania 40 matchups, including the prospect of Roman Reigns vs. The Rock and the incorporation of Cody Rhodes into this high-stakes scenario, continues to fuel excitement among wrestling enthusiasts.
