Cody Rhodes Possibly Replaced by 4-Time Champ on RAW for Reigns Match

The stage is set for the main event of WrestleMania 40, where Cody Rhodes will face Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Having secured a title shot by winning the Royal Rumble, Rhodes is now poised to possibly shift to SmackDown, leaving a vacancy on RAW that could be filled by a major star. However, the decision to move a big name to RAW might be postponed until after the Elimination Chamber to see how things unfold.

The men’s Elimination Chamber match is a significant event as it will determine who will challenge Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40. With the inclusion of at least one SmackDown star, Randy Orton, who earned his spot by defeating Sami Zayn, the stakes are high. Should Orton win in Perth, he would step into Cody Rhodes’ role as a leading babyface on RAW. A potential rivalry with Seth Rollins could be on the horizon, recalling their previous encounter at WrestleMania in 2015.

However, Randy Orton’s path to becoming a 15-time world champion is not without its hurdles. Drew McIntyre’s possible interference could change the dynamics of the feud. WWE might benefit from keeping Orton and Rhodes apart for now, ensuring that when they do clash, it feels novel and exhilarating. With the prospect of Reigns vs. Rhodes and Rollins vs. Orton headlining WrestleMania 40, and the potential involvement of McIntyre, the event promises to be an extraordinary spectacle, further bolstered by the likes of IYO SKY, Bayley, Rhea Ripley, Gunther, and possibly The Rock.

The question on everyone’s mind is whether Cody Rhodes will be able to unseat Roman Reigns and claim the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. For Rhodes, it’s a pivotal moment, as a victory at WrestleMania 40 is crucial for his narrative and standing within the company. A loss to Reigns, especially if it’s a second consecutive defeat at the event, could spell the end of Rhodes’ aspirations to topple The Tribal Chief. With Reigns potentially setting his sights on a rivalry with The Rock after the event, there couldn’t be a more opportune time for Rhodes to triumph.

Wrestling fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome of WrestleMania 40, and many are speculating about the potential victor in the clash between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. The result of this match could have far-reaching implications for the WWE landscape and the future trajectories of both superstars. Fans are encouraged to share their predictions and join the conversation about this highly anticipated event.
