Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns are gearing up for their anticipated WrestleMania 40 rematch, but the drama intensifies on WWE RAW tonight. With Seth Rollins and The Rock added to the mix, the challengers may aim to ensure no further interference in their storyline.
Despite already facing the formidable challenge of Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes has thrown down the gauntlet for a singles match against The Rock.
Last week on SmackDown, Dwayne Johnson proposed a tag team bout featuring him and his cousin against Cody and Seth Rollins, suggesting it would elevate the stakes for WrestleMania 40.

On WWE RAW, Cody and Seth might respond to The Great One’s counteroffer, setting their own conditions for the challenge.
During the upcoming Monday show, the duo could acknowledge The Rock’s proposal and establish their own stipulations. They might accept the challenge, contingent on The Bloodline members not being present at ringside.
Any interference from The Bloodline would result in automatic disqualification for Johnson and Reigns.
This stipulation mirrors The Rock’s conditions last week, where he specified that if Cody and Seth win, The Bloodline won’t be ringside during Roman Reigns’ Championship match.
Conversely, if the outcome favors The Bloodline, Reigns vs. Rhodes will be a Bloodline Rules match.
Two Superstars at the top of their game, with everything to gain… you already know this is going to be one hell of a match.

Cody and Seth’s proposed stipulation could serve to ensure an interference-free Undisputed Championship match, allowing the superstars to focus solely on their showdown. However, the group might permit this stipulation for another significant reason.
Rumors suggest that former NJPW star Tama Tonga is making his way to WWE, potentially aligning with The Bloodline. Despite lacking a blood relation, the group reportedly considers him part of the family.
If these reports are accurate, The Rock and Roman may agree to Cody and Seth’s terms. Even if Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, and Paul Heyman are restricted, Tama Tonga could emerge as the wildcard to assert his loyalty to the group.
In addition to the evolving Cody Rhodes saga, tonight’s WWE RAW features two announced matches: Jey Uso versus Drew McIntyre and Becky Lynch facing Nia Jax. Cody’s response to The Rock and Roman Reigns’ challenge promises to be a pivotal moment in the ongoing storyline.
