Cody Rhodes and The Rock are set to make waves on WWE SmackDown in the upcoming episodes, including tonight’s show and the following two editions. Their presence adds an extra layer of anticipation as WrestleMania 40 draws nearer.
For those out of the loop, the American Nightmare is slated to take on Roman Reigns at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
The involvement of The People’s Champion in this feud occurred when he sided with Reigns and delivered a slap to the challenger during the WrestleMania Kickoff press event.
With both icons gracing the same stage, let’s delve into three bold predictions for Rock and Rhodes during their stint on SmackDown.

Firstly, The Rock might lay down a special condition for Cody Rhodes. It’s conceivable that The People’s Champion accepts Rhodes’ challenge but insists that their match takes place on Night 1 of WrestleMania 40.
This condition could heighten the stakes, leaving Rhodes at a disadvantage against Reigns on Night 2.
Secondly, tensions could escalate into a heated brawl between Team Cody and the Bloodline. Fans might witness an explosive altercation as Seth Rollins, Jey Uso, and Cody Rhodes team up to take on the Samoan faction.
The catalyst for this showdown could stem from Jimmy Uso’s recent actions, costing his brother an Intercontinental Championship match.

Lastly, an announcement of Cody Rhodes’ double duty at WrestleMania 40 could be on the cards. Speculation suggests a surprise tag team match, pitting Rhodes and Rollins against Reigns and The Rock on Night 1.
However, this prediction hinges on the outcome of a potential singles match between Rhodes and The Rock, which may or may not materialize.
As the drama unfolds on WWE SmackDown, fans eagerly await these bold predictions to play out, adding intrigue to the road to WrestleMania 40.
