Cody Rhodes Keeps Challenge Alive for Possible Match with The Rock

Cody Rhodes solidified his status as the next face of WWE at WrestleMania 40 when he defeated Roman Reigns and captured the Undisputed WWE Championship in one of the most memorable nights in the history of WWE.

However, the following night on RAW, he was confronted by Reigns’ iconic cousin, The Rock who proclaimed that despite him going away for a while, he will be back and the story between himself and Rhodes was just getting started.

Since that night, there has been wide speculation regarding a potential showdown between Cody Rhodes and The Rock at some point. During a recent interview on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, The American Nightmare stated that the offer still stands for the match.

Rhodes also mentioned that even if The Rock chose never to compete again, he would be content and was honoured to be a part of his last run. However, competing against him on WrestleMania 40 Night 1 made Rhodes realise that The Final Boss has much more left than gas in the tank, being optimistic about their impending match.

“The offer still stands. And again, if he never comes back, he’s done at all. He really has. And as much as I insulted him previously, it was an honor to be part of his last outing. But what I learned physically in the ring with him. It shouldn’t be his last outing. There’s more. There’s not just gas left in the tank. There might be multiple tanks. There’s more, and I would like the WWE Universe or pro wrestling fans, I’d like them to see that. I think there’s a world where WWE Director of the Board is great, but I think there’s a world WWE really benefits and this young audience being able to connect with him. They don’t know him as the People’s Champ. They know him as the Final Boss. I’m that offer stands whenever.”

With The Rock currently involved in his endeavours outside WWE at the moment, we will have to wait and see if The Great One chooses to come back and battle Cody Rhodes as said during his last appearance on the RAW after WrestleMania 40.

Do you think The Rock would return for a match against Cody Rhodes? Will the dream showdown finally happen in the near future? Sound off in the comments!
