In the intricate landscape of WWE storylines, former head writer Vince Russo has cast his astute gaze towards a potential clash of titans: Cody Rhodes versus The Rock at SummerSlam.
The trajectory was set when the American Nightmare triumphed in the Royal Rumble, signaling his pursuit of Roman Reigns and the coveted WWE Universal Championship.
However, the narrative took a sudden turn with The Rock’s resolute return, declaring his intention to confront Roman in what could be the grandest WrestleMania main event ever.
In a recent segment on Legion of RAW, Russo expounded on WWE’s strategic groundwork for a showdown between The Rock and Cody at SummerSlam.
Noting the palpable tension between the two stars, exemplified by their physical altercation, Russo emphasized their pivotal roles in shaping the current WWE narrative. He discerned a clear trajectory towards a collision between the two icons, underscored by the compelling SmackDown promo.
“SummerSlam… Bro, this is getting set up, Rock and Cody. I mean, they are the ones slapping each other. I’m watching that promo on SmackDown and I’m like that’s where they’re going with this,”
Russo articulated during the discussion.
Addressing potential concerns about Cody facing The Rock, Russo posited that such a matchup would not only elevate Cody’s status but also cement his legacy as a formidable star.
Moreover, he speculated that The Rock’s interference during the main event of Night Two at WrestleMania could redirect the spotlight onto Cody, presenting Roman with a credible adversary post-Mania season.
As the speculation gains momentum, the stage is set for an electrifying clash on Night One of WrestleMania, where Cody and The Rock find themselves on opposing sides in a high-stakes tag team encounter, alongside Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns.
Amidst the fervent anticipation, the wrestling world eagerly awaits the unfolding chapters of this gripping saga, poised to witness the culmination of these larger-than-life personas at SummerSlam.
