Cody Rhodes’ WrestleMania prospects may become clear during WWE’s press event for The Show of Shows this Thursday, where The Rock and Roman Reigns are expected to confirm their main event clash.
Yet, amid growing fan support for The American Nightmare, speculation looms over his potential inclusion in the WWE Championship scene. Rhodes could still conclude his storyline at WrestleMania 40. However, such a move raises questions about Seth Rollins and the World Heavyweight Championship.
Rollins has persistently urged Rhodes to vie for his title at The Show of Shows, but Rhodes has remained noncommittal. Rollins faces potential disappointment if Rhodes opts for Reigns instead, leaving him directionless for WrestleMania.
This could catalyze a dramatic shift, possibly turning Rollins into a heel. He might publicly decry Rhodes’ choice on RAW, gradually spiraling into instability over feeling “snubbed.” While Drew McIntyre is a natural contender for the World Heavyweight Title, a heel Rollins necessitates a heroic challenger.
Enter Sami Zayn, who could attempt to reason with Rollins, only to suffer a vicious assault. Ultimately, Zayn could defy the odds, triumphing over Rollins and McIntyre to clinch the World Heavyweight Championship in a thrilling triple-threat match at WrestleMania 40.
Meanwhile, Rollins could embark on a compelling post-WrestleMania narrative, setting his sights on challenging Rhodes for his newly acquired title.
