The WWE universe is abuzz with speculation surrounding Cody Rhodes’ hold on the Undisputed WWE Championship. Fresh from a successful title defense against AJ Styles at BackLash, Rhodes’ next opponent remains a mystery. However, rumors of a potential showdown with The Rock continue to dominate the conversation. The question on everyone’s mind is: can Rhodes hold onto the title until the next WrestleMania?
Dave Meltzer, in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, cast doubt on the certainty of The Rock vs. Cody Rhodes match, citing the fluid nature of WWE plans. With almost a year to go until WrestleMania, it’s difficult to predict whether Rhodes will still be champion by then. The exchange of mysterious items between The Rock and Cody on RAW after WrestleMania XL only adds fuel to the fire, hinting at a larger story yet to unfold.
Rhodes’ recent title defense against Styles marked his first successful PLE title defense, cementing his position as a formidable champion. Despite this, the door is still open for a rematch between the two, with many fans eager to see if Styles can dethrone the American Nightmare. The upcoming King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event later this month may provide the perfect opportunity for a sequel to their epic battle.
Meanwhile, the WWE brass will be keeping a close eye on the situation, going through the complexities of their planned storylines while keeping fans engaged and guessing. As the terrain of the WWE continues to evolve, one thing is certain – Cody Rhodes’ grip on the Undisputed WWE Championship is under scrutiny like never before. Will he be able to fend off the challenges and maintain his title reign, or will The Rock or another contender emerge to dethrone him? Only time will tell.
