#CodyMania’s success has led to Roman Reigns defending the Undisputed WWE Title against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL.
The backlash against The Rock for taking Rhodes’ spot has prompted WWE to revert to its original plan, providing The American Nightmare another chance to conclude the story. While this pleases Cody’s fans, it raises questions about The Rock’s role at WrestleMania.
The solution could lie in Seth “Freakin” Rollins, who currently lacks a Mania opponent, especially with CM Punk out of the mix. A match between Rollins and The Rock at WrestleMania XL could be a strategic move for WWE.
The WrestleMania XL Kickoff event heavily teased a showdown involving Rollins. Despite the focus on Rhodes, Reigns, and The Rock, Rollins made his presence felt, expressing interest in facing The Great One after the confrontation.

The World Heavyweight Title match at WrestleMania XL needs to regain its significance. The fiasco around Rhodes, Rock, and Reigns elevated the Undisputed WWE Title, leaving the World Heavyweight Championship as an afterthought.
Booking a high-profile bout like The Rock vs. Seth Rollins would restore prestige to the World Heavyweight Title.
Seth Rollins deserves a legitimate WrestleMania moment as a babyface. Despite significant victories in previous events, Rollins has often played second-fiddle to Roman Reigns.
As a top babyface with a growing fan base, Rollins should have a memorable high-profile Mania moment. A match against The Rock, who leans towards a heel character, would generate considerable buzz and could potentially headline WrestleMania XL: Night One.
This move would showcase Rollins in a prominent spot and provide fans with a compelling WrestleMania showdown.
