Multiple WWE Superstars expressed a preference for Roman Reigns facing off against The Rock rather than Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40.
The Brahma Bull made a recent return to the company, teasing a potential showdown with The Tribal Chief and assuming a position on the TKO board. Meanwhile, The American Nightmare secured his second consecutive Men’s Royal Rumble victory, setting his sights on a World Title opportunity at the grand event.
While many anticipate Rhodes seeking to dethrone Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title, some Superstars have voiced their preference for The Rock as Reigns’ opponent.
In an interview with ComicBook Nation, Zelina Vega, Akira Tozawa, and Omos weighed in on the matchup, unanimously advocating for The Great One to square off against his cousin, The Tribal Chief.
Despite acknowledging her admiration for Rhodes, Vega and her fellow Superstars highlighted their enthusiasm for The Rock’s return to the ring and his potential clash with Reigns.
Following his victory in the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match, Cody Rhodes shared a tense moment with the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns. The American Nightmare appeared resolute in his intention to challenge The Tribal Chief at WrestleMania.
However, Rhodes encountered World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins during the latest episode of RAW. Rollins encouraged the 38-year-old to consider challenging him instead of Reigns. While Rhodes remained noncommittal, stating he would contemplate the proposal.
