After reigning as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion for almost four years, there’s a growing sentiment within the entertainment sphere that Roman Reigns should relinquish his title at WrestleMania XL.
The emergence of rising star Cody Rhodes has fueled this hope. Despite not clinching a world title in his WWE tenure, Rhodes’ journey has captivated longtime fans of the sport.
Many fans believe that if The Tribal Chief were to surrender the belt, it would pave the way for numerous other superstars to vie for the championship, including seasoned veterans like AJ Styles, who appear to be nearing the twilight of their careers.
Styles recently expressed his desire to secure the WWE championship at least one more time before retiring, sparking discussions about whether The Phenomenal One’s era in the limelight is drawing to a close.
The WWE Universe has also chimed in, contemplating the prospect of Styles reclaiming a world title after a five-year hiatus.
The anticipation surrounding these developments has elicited a flurry of fan reactions.
Some envision Styles making a move to RAW and potentially clinching the World Heavyweight Championship, while others speculate that he could legitimately challenge Cody Rhodes should Rhodes unseat Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
Furthermore, Styles’ recent actions have stirred the pot. His attack on LA Knight during the Men’s Elimination Chamber match has left fans speculating about a potential showdown between the two at WrestleMania XL.
Styles shed light on his motives during an appearance on the Johnjay & Rich: After Words podcast, expressing his disdain for Knight and his involvement in Styles’ absence from the Chamber match.
While a one-on-one match between Styles and Knight seems probable, rumors suggest that a multi-man United States Championship bout could also be in the cards for The Showcase of Immortals. As speculation swirls, fans eagerly await official confirmation of these matchups.
