WWE’s Current WrestleMania 41 Plan for Cody Rhodes

WWE is always gearing up for their next major event, and WrestleMania is never far from their sights. Cody Rhodes, who has been on a notable run as Undisputed WWE Champion, is expected to face a significant challenge at WrestleMania 41, and all signs point to a rematch with The Final Boss—The Rock.

With The Rock set to return for WrestleMania 41, his presence on WWE’s board of directors gives him substantial influence over his matches. Now that he’s firmly positioned in the company’s leadership, booking himself for the big event isn’t just speculation; it’s almost a certainty. After calling his shot against Cody Rhodes, a showdown seems inevitable.

During his Dirty Sheets podcast on Patreon, Billi Bhatti confirmed that WWE is still on track for a Cody Rhodes vs. The Rock match at WrestleMania 41, with only metrics potentially altering those plans.

“At the moment Cody Rhodes and The Rock is still the plan for WrestleMania. Now, people may be a little bit lukewarm on the Cody Rhodes title run, I know I am, but plans don’t change based on opinions on podcasts and social media, they change based on if metrics are not high enough, ratings are fine.”

Fans of Cody Rhodes, dubbed “Cody Crybabies” by some, were influential in WWE’s decision to change the WrestleMania 40 main event. Although The Rock wrestled at the event, his match with Roman Reigns was postponed, and that encounter may happen later, though not before his clash with Cody Rhodes.

As WrestleMania 41 approaches, anticipation is building for this showdown. The added element of WWE RAW being uncensored on Netflix by that time could also bring a new layer of intensity, with The Rock potentially taking full advantage of the platform’s looser restrictions. How fans will react remains to be seen, but this program is sure to capture attention.
