The anticipation for this week’s WWE SmackDown in Glendale, Arizona, has escalated with reports suggesting that Cody Rhodes, a top superstar from Monday Night RAW, will be in attendance alongside the electrifying presence of The Rock.
According to a report by PWInsider Elite, Cody Rhodes is slated to make an appearance on Friday’s SmackDown, adding an intriguing dynamic to the show’s lineup.
Rhodes’ presence on SmackDown comes amidst his ongoing feud with The Rock, Roman Reigns, and their Bloodline faction. Ever since Rhodes challenged Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania 40, tensions have been running high between the two camps.
At the recent Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event (PLE), Rhodes openly challenged The Rock to a one-on-one bout, setting the stage for a potentially explosive showdown. With WrestleMania’s main event against Reigns looming, Rhodes is determined to carve his own path and honor the legacy of his late father, Dusty Rhodes.
Rhodes further intensified the rivalry by decimating Paul Heyman’s security on RAW, sending a clear message to The Rock and The Bloodline. If the reports hold true, Rhodes’ appearance on SmackDown promises to add further intrigue to the ongoing saga.
Fans eagerly await the possibility of Rhodes and The Rock crossing paths once again, especially after The People’s Champion’s memorable slap to Rhodes at a WrestleMania kick-off press event in Las Vegas.
As speculation mounts, the WWE Universe eagerly awaits SmackDown to witness whether Cody Rhodes will indeed make his presence felt and potentially come face-to-face with The Rock, setting the stage for an explosive confrontation.
