WWE finished Cody Rhodes‘ story at WrestleMania XL, although he could have started another one in the process. Cody Rhodes is finally the WWE Universal champion, but he was defeated by The Rock on the first day of the showcase of the Immortals to make the part to glory a lot more harder. Despite Rhodes’ victory, there is still that open wound between the two competitors.
Something that was reinforced on the Monday Night Raw show after WrestleMania XL. As the Rock gave a mystery gift to Rhodes before promising that he would return. From that point on, there has been speculation about what could happen in the main event of the next edition. If a match between Cody Rhodes and The Rock for the Undisputed WWE Championship could be in the blueprint. However, it is also possible that another fight with the best chance of taking place is the fight between The Rock and Roman Reigns.
On the way to WrestleMania, The Rock and Roman Reigns had an intense confrontation on SmackDown after Cody Rhodes ceded the position of contender for the Undisputed Universal title to The Rock. This action caused a rejection effect among the public. And the WWE was forced to return to the original plan. That was, the match between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. But now, the guys at the Busted Open Podcast have revealed their thoughts on the matter. And they have stated why they believe a fight between Rock and Reigns would make the most sense.
In the latest edition of the Busted Open Podcast, Dave LaGreca was joined by pro wrestling veterans Bully Ray and Mark Henry. The trio discussed AEW’s latest Forbidden Door PPV and everything else that took place in the pro wrestling universe. And it was during this conversation that they came across the topic of the big fight that is yet to happen. One between the biggest name from the attitude era and the biggest face in current WWE.
The trio discussed how the fight is inevitable as the Brahma Bull is the final boss that the Tribal Chief will have to face eventually. They said, “I mean, now does Rock and Roman happen at this year’s WrestleMania or does Rock and Roman happen at next year’s WrestleMania? But the end of this story is going to be Rock and Roman. Vegas. What’s more important than Vegas? Dave, it’s got to be Vegas. Hollywood is right there, down the street.”
They further added, “Don’t forget, we all thought that we’re going to see Rock and Roman at LA over a year ago, and that didn’t happen. Then we thought we were going to see it in Philadelphia, and that didn’t happen. When it comes to the bloodline, guys, in my opinion, I don’t think anything is guaranteed. I really don’t think anything is guaranteed. You think that they can’t fly by the seat of their pants? The whole Vegas aura is perfect for Rock and Roman, I truly believe.”
The WWE could not bring the match to fruition this year as according to reports, WWE’s creative team thought that stretching the story beyond the 40th edition of the great event would have damaged the eventual victory of Rhodes. Whom they profiled as the man who would carry the company on his shoulders in later years. The viral campaign #WeWantCody was a final push to convince both parties to move forward with the idea of The American Nightmare lifting the title at WrestleMania. So what do you think? Will the WWE book a fight between Reigns and The Rock at this WrestleMania? Let us know in the comments.
