Cody Rhodes is stirring up echoes of ‘The Attitude Era’ in WWE by boldly challenging his boss, The Rock, in what has become one of the most captivating storylines of the current era, unfolding like a cinematic masterpiece.
Set to feature prominently in both nights of WrestleMania 40, Rhodes finds himself in the spotlight, with high-stakes matches on the horizon.
On Night 1, he teams up with Seth Rollins to take on The Bloodline’s Roman Reigns and The Rock in a tag team clash.
Sad & disappointed there wasn't enough time to see The Rhode Scholars & Bella's #Wrestlemania victory! But there's always #RAW tonight! B&N

The outcome of this bout will reverberate into Night 2, where Rhodes faces Reigns in a championship showdown, both matches serving as the main events of their respective evenings.
Despite his current high-profile position, Rhodes has faced disappointment in the past.
At WrestleMania 29, a planned eight-person tag team match featuring Rhodes alongside Damian Sandow and The Bella Twins was scrapped at the last minute due to other matches running overtime, particularly CM Punk vs. The Undertaker and Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar.
The stakes couldn’t be higher for Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, especially in the tag team encounter on Night 1.
The Rock’s frustration with Rhodes and Rollins for not yielding the spotlight to The Bloodline has led to a heated challenge, with implications for Night 2.
If Rhodes and Rollins emerge victorious, The Bloodline is barred from interfering in Night 2’s championship bout. However, should they falter, Night 2’s main event will fall under “The Bloodline’s rules.”
Adding to the intensity, The Rock has laid down an ultimatum for Rhodes: if he fails to dethrone Reigns at WrestleMania 40, he may never receive another opportunity at the title.
As anticipation builds and tensions escalate, Cody Rhodes finds himself at the center of a narrative that promises to redefine his legacy in WWE.
