The prospect of The Rock aligning with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL has sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe, leaving Cody Rhodes’ path to victory seemingly precarious.
This has sparked widespread fan speculation, urging Rhodes to seek aid from another iconic name: John Cena.
Last week’s Raw saw Seth Rollins offer himself as Rhodes’ “Shield” against the formidable Bloodline, now bolstered by The Rock’s presence. But with Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, and Paul Heyman standing alongside The Great One, many fans believe more firepower is needed.
A recent comment on Rhodes’ Instagram story perfectly encapsulates this sentiment: “Cody needs more help, Roman and The Rock will have more than just themselves.”
This sentiment resonates with many, who perceive Rhodes and Rollins as an impressive duo, but potentially outmatched against the expanded Bloodline.
Enter John Cena, a logical choice for several reasons. Their past interactions reveal mutual respect and admiration. Cena raised Rhodes’ hand last year, publicly endorsing him.
Additionally, Cena boasts a history with The Bloodline, having battled both Roman Reigns and The Rock in high-profile WrestleMania matches. He even faced Solo Sikoa at Crown Jewel last year.
Fans believe Cena wouldn’t hesitate to answer Rhodes’ call, forming a dream team dubbed “The New Shield.” This potential alliance would not only offer strategic and physical advantages but also ignite the WWE Universe.
Imagining Cena standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Rhodes and Rollins against The Rock and The Bloodline conjures visions of an epic WrestleMania moment.
Furthermore, Rhodes has reason to seek reinforcements. Solo Sikoa’s interference at WrestleMania 39 cost him the victory against Reigns.
Now, The Rock vows to ensure his loss at WrestleMania XL. While Rhodes and Rollins are formidable, facing an amped-up Bloodline requires more than just a “Shield.”
Adding Cena to the equation not only bolsters their chances but also creates a compelling narrative. Two generations of icons, Cena and The Rock, locking horns with the present-day dominant force in Roman Reigns, would be a WrestleMania main event for the ages.
Whether Rhodes heeds the fan demands and seeks Cena’s help remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: the potential for a dream team against The Bloodline has captured the imagination of the WWE Universe.
The prospect of Cena joining forces with Rhodes and Rollins to create a “New Shield” and challenge the seemingly unstoppable Bloodline is a storyline brimming with intrigue and potential for a WrestleMania main event unlike any other.
