The main event of the first night of WWE WrestleMania 40 was The Rock teaming up with Roman Reigns to take on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, which saw the heels go over. However, the next night, Rhodes managed to defeat Reigns and become the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
During Monday’s episode of RAW, WWE hinted at a future match between The Rock and Cody Rhodes. It is rumored that this match could take place at WrestleMania 41 next year.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer wrote the following,
“From what we’re told, this is very much a long-term thing. There is no planned date for Rock to return for a match, but it’s been talked about next year’s Mania. Originally he wanted to come back and work with Reigns, but obviously based on everything that went down, the singles title match with Rhodes is the bigger match right now. As things stand right now, he may work a match later this year but that is not a lock. He would prefer to work with Rhodes in the main event of next year’s Mania, and as we’ve seen, he is generally going to get what he wants.”
The Rock vs. Roman Reigns would figure to take place at WrestleMania 42, but that’s not locked in.
The wrestling world is abuzz with rumors and speculation about a potential dream match between two iconic superstars: The Rock and Cody Rhodes. According to the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, this match could potentially take place at WrestleMania 41 next year.
The Rock, known for his electrifying charisma and incredible in-ring skills, made a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 40, teaming up with Roman Reigns to take on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. The match ended with the heels, Rhodes and Rollins, emerging victorious. However, the following night on Monday’s episode of RAW, Rhodes managed to defeat Reigns and become the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
This unexpected turn of events has sparked speculation about a future match between The Rock and Cody Rhodes. Dave Meltzer, a reputable source in the wrestling industry, revealed that this potential showdown is a long-term plan. While there is no set date for The Rock’s return to the ring, WrestleMania 41 seems to be the target for this highly anticipated match.
Originally, The Rock had expressed his desire to work with Roman Reigns, but circumstances have changed. The singles title match between The Rock and Cody Rhodes is currently considered the bigger draw. As things stand now, The Rock may work a match later this year, although it is not confirmed. His preference is to face off against Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 41.
The Rock’s influence and star power within the industry make it likely that he will get what he wants. If all goes according to plan, fans can expect an epic clash between two wrestling legends at WrestleMania 41. However, it’s important to note that plans can change in the unpredictable world of professional wrestling.
While the potential match between The Rock and Cody Rhodes has generated excitement, it also raises questions about the previously speculated match between The Rock and Roman Reigns. Many fans were eagerly anticipating a showdown between these two powerhouse performers at WrestleMania 42. However, with the current developments, it seems that this match is not set in stone.
As with any wrestling storyline, it’s important to take these rumors with a grain of salt. Plans can change, and the wrestling landscape is constantly evolving. Nonetheless, the possibility of a match between The Rock and Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 is undoubtedly intriguing for fans around the world.
Only time will tell if this dream match will come to fruition. Until then, wrestling enthusiasts can continue to speculate and eagerly await further updates on the potential clash between The Rock and Cody Rhodes.
