In WWE speculation, former superstar D’Lo Brown offers a candid perspective on Cody Rhodes’ trajectory within the Stamford-based promotion.
Since his re-entry into World Wrestling Entertainment in 2022, Rhodes has ascended as a prominent figure, eliciting comparisons to iconic figures like John Cena.
Amidst fervent fan anticipation, there’s a prevailing belief that Rhodes could culminate his journey by unseating Roman Reigns as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion at WrestleMania XL.
In a recent discussion on Sirius XM Busted Open, D’Lo Brown shared his nuanced viewpoint. While acknowledging the company’s concerted efforts to propel Rhodes into the upper echelons, Brown remains skeptical about Rhodes attaining the pinnacle status within WWE. He remarked,
“He’s going to be the guy because that’s the direction they are going… I’ve never seen that top-tier echelon guy.”
Despite his reservations, Brown acknowledges the narrative thrust behind Rhodes’ elevation, acknowledging his role as the central figure in WWE’s storytelling.
Expanding on his analysis, Brown underscores the narrative imperative for WWE to crown Rhodes at WrestleMania XL.
Expressing doubts about the sustainability of Rhodes’ character arc should he falter against Reigns yet again, Brown highlights the challenge of sustaining fan engagement over prolonged periods.
He articulates,
“You have to because I don’t know if his character could go another 365 days… It’s even more difficult to do it for two years, damn near impossible to keep it up for a third year to finish the story.”
As the anticipation mounts for WrestleMania XL, the clash between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns looms large, promising an electrifying showdown for WWE enthusiasts worldwide.
