In a shocking twist that would make even the most seasoned WWE fan’s eyebrows raise, The Rock appeared on the post-WrestleMania 40 edition of “Raw” and told Cody Rhodes, “Our story has just begun.” The American Nightmare’s first night as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion was supposed to be a moment of glory, but instead, he found himself verbally People’s Elbowed by Hollywood’s busiest man.
Now, in a scoop that could electrify the very foundation of sports entertainment, the esteemed Dave Meltzer of “Wrestling Observer Radio” revealed that plans are indeed in motion for Cody Rhodes to face off against The Rock at WrestleMania 41. Meltzer, ever the clairvoyant of the squared circle, confidently declared, “Cody Rhodes is going to be wrestling The Rock at WrestleMania.” That’s right, folks—if you smell what Dave Meltzer is cooking, this match could be the biggest blockbuster since, well, The Rock’s last movie!
Naturally, the internet wrestling community has been buzzing like a malfunctioning ring bell. Many speculated that Rhodes might find himself in a showdown with other rising stars like Jacob Fatu or even a rematch with Solo Sikoa. But according to Meltzer, Roman Reigns is more likely to clash with one of his Bloodline brethren in Vegas. “The heat’s still [with] Solo, but Jacob’s the one that’s protected the most,” Meltzer pondered, possibly while stroking an invisible beard of wisdom.
But let’s get back to the real main event—The Rock vs. Cody Rhodes. This dream match has been on fans’ wish lists since the build-up to WrestleMania 40, when rumors swirled that The Rock might use his new TKO Group Holdings power to “rock-bottom” Cody right out of the title picture. However, that plotline didn’t quite make it to the final script, leaving us all with a tag team encounter on Night One of WrestleMania 40, where The Rock didn’t just show up—he showed out, pinning Rhodes in the center of the ring like it was 1999 all over again.
The next night, in a 21-minute verbal smackdown, The Rock famously told Rhodes, “F*** your story,” which, of course, was a reference to Cody’s much-touted quest for redemption and legacy. The seeds for a future matchup were planted then, and now they’re about to sprout into what could be the most electrifying match in all of fantasy booking.
So, buckle up, WWE Universe. If this match happens, it’s going to be a battle for the ages—a WrestleMania moment that could shake the very pillars of the sports entertainment industry. Cody Rhodes vs. The Rock at WrestleMania 41? Just bring it!
