On a recent edition of his “Tuesday with The Taskmaster” podcast, former WCW booker Kevin Sullivan discussed the ongoing WrestleMania 40 storyline between Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, and The Bloodline.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the dilemma on who Cody Rhodes can face next: “Now, they’ve done this so well, I know we’re going to be talking about this finish forever, but… who’s ready to take the next step to wrestle Cody? How do you go from that whole… year of the Bloodline, and getting people over and then still staying on top? It’s like to me, you’ve gone out, and you’ve had this magnificent meal… And the next day, you have a Subway sandwich.”
On the fans turning on The Rock: “The ‘Cody Crybabies,’ I think that helped out, but the fans were p***ed, and then you get to, the number one recognizable guy in the world comes out, cuts a hell of a promo as a babyface, and they boo him out of the building? …It has snowballed into a movement.”
Rhodes will challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 40 (Night Two).
On the inaugural night of WrestleMania XL, Rhodes and Rollins will battle Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Reigns.
The ongoing WrestleMania 40 storyline between Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, and The Bloodline has been a hot topic of discussion among wrestling fans. Former WCW booker Kevin Sullivan recently shared his thoughts on the storyline during an episode of his podcast, “Tuesday with The Taskmaster.” Let’s take a closer look at some of the highlights from the podcast.
One of the main points of discussion was the dilemma of who Cody Rhodes can face next after such a compelling storyline with The Bloodline. Sullivan expressed his admiration for how well the storyline has been executed but questioned how they could follow it up. He compared it to having a magnificent meal one day and then having a simple Subway sandwich the next. The challenge lies in finding a way to keep Rhodes on top and continue to engage the audience after such a captivating feud.
Another interesting aspect that Sullivan touched upon was the fans’ reaction to The Rock. Despite being one of the most recognizable figures in the world and delivering a powerful babyface promo, The Rock was met with boos from the crowd. Sullivan referred to the fans as “Cody Crybabies” and acknowledged that their negative reaction to The Rock has snowballed into a movement. This unexpected turn of events adds another layer of intrigue to the WrestleMania 40 storyline.
In the main event of WrestleMania 40 (Night Two), Cody Rhodes will challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. This highly anticipated match will undoubtedly be a highlight of the event. However, before that, on the inaugural night of WrestleMania XL, Rhodes and Rollins will team up to face Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Reigns in what promises to be an epic showdown.
As wrestling fans eagerly await WrestleMania 40, the ongoing storyline between Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, and The Bloodline continues to captivate their attention. With unexpected twists and turns, the anticipation for the event is at an all-time high. It remains to be seen how the storyline will unfold and who will come out on top, but one thing is for sure – WrestleMania 40 is shaping up to be an unforgettable event in the world of professional wrestling.
