Among the WWE’s top baby faces on the current roster is Cody Rhodes. By taking home the World Championship, he hopes to bring his story to a close. After winning the Rumble match the previous year, he unsuccessfully challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
But in order to reclaim his spot, Cody returned stronger and won the Rumble battle twice this year. Despite his original threats to forfeit his position for The Rock at WrestleMania 40, he actually showed up for the WrestleMania 40 Kick Off show.
A major change of events occurred when The People Champ joined forces with Roman Reigns in The Bloodline and turned on Cody by smacking him across the face. Before Cody Rhodes’ match with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, he challenged Rock to a bout and promised to exact revenge.
Since then, there have been a lot of discussions on the internet regarding the possibility of seeing Cody Rhodes and The Rock together once more. But according to a recent analysis, we are getting close to that.
Cody Rhodes in SmackDown this Friday
Cody Rhodes will make an appearance on this week’s (March 1, 2023) SmackDown program in Glendale, Arizona, according to a tip from PWInsider. where the SmackDown appearance of Roman Reigns and The Rock is already booked. This week, The Rock is anticipated to respond to Cody Rhodes’ challenge.
Nevertheless, the story may give away that they may argue or have a heated exchange while hinting at a match. The Wise Man, Paul Heyman, requested that Cody back out of his challenge against The Rock earlier this week on Raw.
Heyman attempted to intimidate Cody by bringing out three of his pals, but Cody used a steel chair to take down all three of them. He continued by sending a message to Rock and Roman in which he threatened to capture them and declared that he would pursue the Bloodline.
After that, Heyman gave Roman and Rock a call. This builds anticipation for the event and the food that will be served at the sold-out SmackDown show.
