Roman Reigns has undeniably held the mantle of WWE’s top star for the past 1249 days, asserting his dominance with hardly a challenge to his reign. However, there’s speculation that his era may soon be succeeded by a ten-time champion.
The individual in question is The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes. Rhodes has recently risen to prominence, becoming the first superstar in 26 years to win the Royal Rumble twice. He has openly declared his intention to confront Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.
Rhodes’s ascension couldn’t have come at a more opportune moment for WWE. With the company seemingly building toward WrestleMania with the narrative of Rhodes needing to fulfill his family legacy by capturing the Undisputed Universal Championship, there’s anticipation among fans for his redemption after his previous WrestleMania defeat.
Consequently, what better way to anoint the new “face of WWE” than by having him dethrone the longest-reigning champion of the 21st century?
Such a move would mark a significant transition to a new era for WWE. Moreover, with rumors swirling of a potential clash between The Rock and Reigns in the future, passing the torch to another superstar seems logical.
Currently, the most prominent star without a major title to his name is none other than Cody Rhodes. However, it’s important to note that this is all speculation, and the future remains uncertain.
