Cody Rhodes will not be finishing his story at WrestleMania 40.
In case you missed it — during the Feb. 2 episode of WWE SmackDown, WWE Champion, Roman Reigns made his way down to the ring to confront Cody Rhodes. The winner of the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble Match interrupted proceedings and asked the rest of ‘The Bloodline’ to leave the ring, so he could speak to Reigns man-to-man.
Rhodes said he still wants the WWE Championship and wants a piece of Reigns…but not at WrestleMania 40…and here comes The Rock. The future WWE Hall of Famer greeted Rhodes, who then left the ring before Rock and Reigns came face-to-face as the show went off the air with a RAUCOUS crowd in attendance showered both men with dueling, deafening chants.
In an update provided by PWInsider, no surprise twists and turns are planned for this story, and Cody Rhodes is set to challenge WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40.
The Rock and Roman Reigns are both set for a ‘WrestleMania XL Kickoff’ press conference on Thursday, Feb. 8.
