As WrestleMania XL approaches, anticipation mounts over the clash between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
However, Hall of Famer Booker T sparked speculation on the Hall of Fame podcast, raising the prospect of Damian Priest potentially cashing in his Money in the Bank contract seconds after Rhodes secures the title.
Expressing his thoughts, Booker T voiced concerns about the potential outcome, suggesting it could be a deflating moment for Rhodes and the audience:
“[I feel like Damian Priest is the dark horse in all of this. Could there be a repeat of the title being taken like it happened with Dusty Rhodes?] It does have a good ring to it. It actually smells pretty good. But, you know, I think that would be such a letdown, you know. Of course with Dusty, you know, it was a letdown, but I think that would be like deflating a freaking basketball if that happened to Cody Rhodes,”
he shared.
Reflecting on past events, Rhodes’s pursuit of the championship has been fraught with challenges.
Last year’s WrestleMania saw him fall short against Reigns due to interference, fueling his determination to script a different ending at this year’s Show of Shows.
In a poignant moment on RAW, Rhodes conveyed his determination, promising to win the championship and dedicate it to his mother.
Ahead of his title bout with Reigns, Rhodes is slated to team up with World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins for a monumental tag team match against The Rock and Reigns on night one of WrestleMania.
As speculation swirls regarding the potential cash-in by Priest, WWE fans await eagerly to witness the culmination of Rhodes’s journey and the unfolding drama at WrestleMania XL.
