Cody Rhodes Thinks The Rock Still Needs To Wrestle Two Matches

Following the events of last year’s WrestleMania, many expected WWE Champion Cody Rhodes to head into this year’s show to take on The Rock. However, reports ruled him out of competing at WrestleMania 41, and although he would return to programming briefly for John Cena’s heel turn, he has seldom been mentioned on WWE TV. 

Rhodes doesn’t want to close the door on his chapter with The Rock just yet, nor on a potential match. Speaking on Pardon My Take, Rhodes stated that The Rock still needs to wrestle two matches. 

“Ah. He did [pin me]. I’m a bit of an ego-centric individual that wants his win back. I think he’s due for more than one match, and I would love to be penciled in on one of those. Obviously, that schedule is as intense as it gets, but he’s still so involved with WWE. He could have easily been the final boss and just kind of taken that as a customary title, but he has really gotten his hands involved in what we’re doing. Even though we may not like one another, the thing I do like about him is instantly, no matter what he’s done, record-breaking Disney movie, whatever he did that weekend and showed up, when you look at him, you can tell, oh, brother is a wrestler. It’s in there. It’s hitting the ropes and what the reaction you can get from doing wrestling moves in the ring and the promo and the interview. I really have enjoyed that connection with him. I’d like to be one of those. 

“I think he has two matches he has to do. I’m not putting any pressure on anyone, but I think he does — I’d love to see him and his cousin, Roman Reigns, ever have this encounter. Maybe it’s the greatest match we never get because timing or whatever it may be and I think we need to finish our own story with him and myself. We’ll see.”

Rhodes is set to defend the WWE Title at WrestleMania 41 against John Cena.
