During a recent edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash commented on The Rock’s return to WWE and how it may impact Cody Rhodes getting a rematch with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the approach to Roman Reigns vs. The Rock: “Unless Roman f**king does the complete heel thing and tells him to get in line. He said, ‘Maybe I’ll sit at the head of the table.’ Didn’t say that Roman was gonna get up and play musical chairs and let him sit down. What if he cut a [promo], ‘F**k you, you part-time motherf**ker. I don’t give a f**k if we’re related, not related.’ Then f**king Rock could come back and say, ‘Sh*t, I only worked three less matches than you last year’ [laughs].”
On his belief that WWE wants Reigns to pass Hulk Hogan’s 1,474-day reign as WWE Champion: “Bottom line is, there’s four spots. I don’t see them taking the belt off of Seth, and I don’t see them taking the belt off of Roman. Don’t you think that they want Roman to pass the Hogan [record]? There’s no upside in having Dwayne go over. I think Dwayne would do the job. Much like Hogan did for Dwayne in Toronto, give him that monster f**king rub.”

The Rock’s Return to WWE and Its Potential Impact on Cody Rhodes’ Rematch with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40
In a recent episode of his podcast “Kliq This,” WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash discussed The Rock’s return to WWE and how it could affect Cody Rhodes’ chances of getting a rematch with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.
Nash speculated on the possible approach to the match between Reigns and The Rock, suggesting that unless Reigns takes a complete heel turn and tells The Rock to get in line, there may not be a rematch opportunity for Rhodes. Nash mentioned that Reigns could assert his dominance by saying he will sit at the head of the table, without actually giving up his spot. This scenario would leave Rhodes without a chance to challenge Reigns for the title.
Furthermore, Nash expressed his belief that WWE wants Reigns to surpass Hulk Hogan’s record of a 1,474-day reign as WWE Champion. He stated that there are only four top spots in WWE, and he doesn’t see the company taking the title off of Reigns or Seth Rollins. Nash argued that there is no upside in having The Rock defeat Reigns, as WWE would prefer to give Reigns the opportunity to break Hogan’s record. He compared it to Hogan putting over The Rock in Toronto, giving him a significant boost in his career.
The Rock’s return to WWE has generated excitement among fans, but it also raises questions about potential storylines and matchups. While many fans would love to see a rematch between Rhodes and Reigns at WrestleMania 40, Nash’s comments suggest that the focus may be on Reigns’ championship reign and his pursuit of breaking Hogan’s record.
It’s important to note that these comments are purely speculative, and WWE’s creative direction can change at any time. The company has a history of surprising fans with unexpected twists and turns, so it’s possible that Rhodes could still get his rematch with Reigns despite The Rock’s involvement.
