According to Vince Russo, former head writer for WWE, there’s a compelling twist that could unfold at WrestleMania XL involving CM Punk and Cody Rhodes.
As fans gear up for the event, the anticipation is high for Rhodes’s challenge against Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, earned after his victory at the Royal Rumble earlier in the year.
However, Punk finds himself on the sidelines due to an injury sustained at the same event.
During the final moments of the men’s rumble match, Punk and Rhodes emerged as the last two contenders.
Russo, speaking on Legion of RAW, proposed an unexpected turn of events: Punk should seek retribution against Rhodes by interfering in his WrestleMania match against Reigns.
Russo outlined the scenario, suggesting,
“It’s something as simple as this: Cody has the match with freaking Reigns. Bro, have Punk screw Cody. Have Punk screw Cody and then that’s where I would do the Gunther thing. I would go to Reigns and Gunther next. I mean, I am interested in that bro. I am interested in that because I will be curious to see the way they book that. That’s all you have to do man.”
This proposed twist adds an intriguing dimension to the WrestleMania storyline, promising a dramatic showdown.
Furthermore, the anticipation extends to Night One of WrestleMania XL, where Rhodes and Reigns may feature in a tag team match against The Rock and Seth Rollins.
The challenge was issued by The Rock himself, setting the stage for an explosive encounter. With all four men scheduled to appear on WWE SmackDown this week, fans are eagerly awaiting further developments that will provide clarity on the unfolding drama.
As WrestleMania XL draws closer, the excitement builds, fueled by the potential for unexpected twists and turns in the ring.
The clash between Rhodes, Reigns, Punk, and The Rock promises to be a spectacle, leaving fans on the edge of their seats as they anticipate the outcome of these high-stakes encounters.
