Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns have clashed in two high-profile singles matches, with the score tied 1-1.
Roman was victorious in the first outing, where he retained his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, with Cody coming back to bag the belt at the following year's WrestleMania XL.
A third 'rubber match' between the two might seem like a natural conclusion, but Rhodes - who would be interested in wrestling Reigns once again - doesn't think it's likely to happen.
Discussing the possibility with the SI Media Podcast, The American Nightmare said:
"I'm very happy with what we put out there. I always try to wax poetic about him, anytime I've ever said something a little snarky, I guess it's been more for entertainment. But I can tell you, that's probably a very hard match to have happen.
"But I could see it being very significant, it happening again. And for the fans who really make this all up… for that, you can't just have two, you know? We split it. So that third exists. And a lot of times, sometimes matches can go in the file of the greatest match that never happened. I'm certainly not adverse to it. I don't know what his outlook on it is. We're different than we were. And again, not adverse to it, because we're split. He won one, I won the other."
One stumbling block might be that The Tribal Chief (who works a part-time schedule) only plans on wrestling until 2028 at the longest.
