The Road to WrestleMania just got bumpier for Cody Rhodes. As he sets foot in Australia for the Elimination Chamber event, he won’t be wrestling, but he’ll be facing a different kind of challenge – the venomous barbs of Grayson Waller.
This year’s WrestleMania promises a repeat main event: Cody versus Roman Reigns, a rematch of their Clash at the Castle showdown. While this excites many, not everyone seems impressed. Enter Grayson Waller, the SmackDown star whose talk show, “The Grayson Waller Effect,” has become a platform for bold statements and even bolder guests.
Waller, known for his sharp wit and brash persona, took a shot at Cody during his flight to Australia. “At least someone in WWE can finish a story,” he quipped, referencing Cody’s rocky journey to securing his WrestleMania spot.
This is more than just a playful jab; it’s a deliberate provocation, setting the stage for a fiery exchange on Waller’s show during Elimination Chamber.

But Cody won’t be alone facing the heat. Joining him will be another superstar with unfinished business: Seth Rollins. Still recovering from injury, Rollins aims to return before WrestleMania, potentially setting up a tag team clash against The Rock and Roman Reigns – adding another twist to the already dramatic storyline.
So, while Rhodes doesn’t have a match in Perth, his presence is felt through Waller’s taunts and the looming possibility of a tag team alliance with Rollins. Here are some potential outcomes of this complex scenario:
- Rhodes silences Waller with a verbal beatdown: He uses his experience and wit to deflect Waller’s attacks, solidifying his status as a top contender.
- Waller exposes a chink in Rhodes’ armor: He manages to provoke an emotional response from Rhodes, raising doubts about his readiness for WrestleMania.
- Rollins and Rhodes confirm their tag team alliance: They create a united front against The Rock and Reigns, raising the stakes for WrestleMania.
- Waller becomes part of the equation: He throws his own hat into the ring, seeking an opportunity amidst the chaos.
No matter what unfolds, one thing’s for sure: Elimination Chamber will be a pivotal moment in the Road to WrestleMania. Cody Rhodes might not be wrestling, but his presence will ignite verbal fireworks and potentially alter the course of the main event.
So, tune in to witness the drama unfold, because this story is far from over.
