The tensions between The Rock and his Bloodline against Cody Rhodes on the road to WrestleMania 40 was one of the most compelling narratives seen in WWE in recent memory. However, The Great One’s power and influence fell through as Rhodes dethroned his dominant cousin, Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 to become the new Undisputed Champion.
While The Rock congratulated Cody Rhodes on finishing his story the night after, he made it clear that he would return from his hiatus and go straight after The American Nightmare. The segment planted the seeds for a future one-on-one showdown between The Rock and Cody Rhodes on a major stage.
So here are three possible WWE PLEs for the Dream match to take place:
1. WrestleMania 41
The Rock endured an intense training camp for his in-ring return at WrestleMania 40 where he delivered a spectacular performance in his tag team match. With other commitments lined up, The Rock would need to go through another training regime for his match against Cody Rhodes. Moreover, according to a report, The Final Boss himself has expressed his desire to face Cody Rhodes next at WrestleMania. So it could befit this ongoing saga with The Rock facing Rhodes at the same stage he decimated his cousin’s legacy the year prior.
2. SummerSlam
Assuming that WWE decides to pencil the dream showdown between The Rock and Roman Reigns for next year’s stage, the next big stage for Rock vs Cody would be WWE SummerSlam. The biggest party of the summer is set to take place in Columbus, Ohio, and is expected to draw a huge audience. Moreover, if WWE announces The Rock and Cody Rhodes as the event’s headliner, it could possibly become the biggest SummerSlam edition for the company in terms of garnering huge business and numbers.
3. Crown Jewel
According to a report, The Rock might wrestle another match in 2024. Having said that, WWE could slate The Final Boss’ match for their next Saudi Arabia show later in the year. Being a highly important and strategic market for them, The Rock vs Cody Rhodes headlining their show could prove to be beneficial for their future relations with the rich culture and country of Saudi Arabia.
