World Wrestling Entertainment is eagerly anticipating a potential match-up involving Cody Rhodes and The Rock. The backroom chatter suggests that this duel could happen once The Rock graces the WWE stage again, something the production house has been teasing and reportedly strategizing around.
In earlier comments, The Final Boss had expressed his fervor to target Rhodes, with the title of Undisputed WWE Universal Championship unexpectedly being an irrelevant factor in the situation. There are across-the-board predictions indicating that this showdown might occur at WrestleMania 41, a possibility recently tossed in the rumor mill.
The Rock shared his thoughts on this imminent chapter with Mike Coppinger of ESPN, stating:
“I have never in my entire career felt more pressure and more heat to deliver than I did during this run. Number one the idea of coming back and what that means … and then being granted complete ownership of ‘The Rock’ and that entire trademark and everything with it, there’s that pressure. Then the pressure of pivoting on a storyline that had been brewing for two years quietly and privately. We always knew we had the mega match with Roman and I in our back pocket. It feels incredibly gratifying … to be able to deliver the way that we did as a team is the most gratifying thing about this entire journey.”
