Cody Rhodes is gearing up for his long-awaited showdown with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, but his journey on WWE RAW promises to be anything but smooth. While Rhodes has been building alliances on the brand, so too has Reigns, alongside his cousin The Rock.
Rhodes now finds himself facing not just Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, and Paul Heyman, but also The Rock, who has thrown his weight into the mix. Despite gaining support from Seth Rollins on RAW, Rhodes must contend with The Rock’s considerable influence, which extends even to former adversaries like Jinder Mahal.
Earlier this year, Dwayne Johnson returned to RAW and clashed with Mahal, with The Rock emerging victorious.
Despite their history, Mahal surprised many by declaring his allegiance to The Rock over Rhodes during an interview on Sony Sports Network’s Extraaa Dhamaal. This unexpected alliance could be leveraged by The Rock to his advantage.
In the upcoming episode of RAW, Rhodes and Rollins may address the audience, possibly discussing Rhodes’ recent challenge to The Rock. However, their segment could be interrupted by Mahal, who, under the orders of The Bloodline, may launch an attack on both Rhodes and Rollins.
Mahal might claim that The Rock and his family promised him a title shot or a chance to face Johnson at WrestleMania. This move would further highlight The Bloodline’s dominance and assert their influence over their adversaries.
