Cody Rhodes may have yet to hold the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, but he has become the People’s Champion, according to DDP.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, DDP threw his support behind Rhodes, who he feels should challenge Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. He said,
“The reason why this [the WrestleMania 40 main event] works for Cody [Rhodes] and Roman [Reigns] — it’s old-school. Everything about it is old-school. Let’s build to the big pay-per-view, which is doing the biggest business they’ve ever done as far as numbers are concerned … They’re doing the biggest business; that’s what it comes down to, and Cody [Rhodes] is a humungous reason for that … Now, he’s — the original ‘People’s Champion’ was Muhammad Ali. Dusty Rhodes. “Diamond” Dallas Page. The Rock. And now it’s Cody. That’s ‘The People’s Champion.’ They want it so bad.”
Rhodes failed to dethrone Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39 last April. In addition to Cody, there has been speculation that The Rock will challenge his cousin at WrestleMania 40.

Cody Rhodes: The People’s Champion
Cody Rhodes, the son of legendary wrestler Dusty Rhodes, may not have held the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship yet, but he has certainly become the People’s Champion. This sentiment was recently echoed by Diamond Dallas Page (DDP) on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, where he expressed his support for Rhodes and his belief that he should challenge Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.
DDP emphasized the old-school nature of this potential matchup, stating that it would be a build-up to the big pay-per-view event, which has been seeing record-breaking numbers. According to DDP, Cody Rhodes has played a significant role in the success of these events, making him a crucial figure in the wrestling world. DDP even compared Rhodes to iconic figures like Muhammad Ali, Dusty Rhodes, “Diamond” Dallas Page, and The Rock, who have all held the title of “The People’s Champion.”
However, Rhodes faced disappointment at WrestleMania 39 when he failed to dethrone Roman Reigns. Despite this setback, there is speculation that another challenger might step up to face Reigns at WrestleMania 40 – none other than The Rock, who happens to be Reigns’ cousin. The potential clash between these two wrestling icons would undoubtedly be a marquee event.
