Cody Rhodes won this year’s 30-Man Royal Rumble match on Saturday night in Tampa, FL, and strongly indicated that he plans to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal title at WrestleMania 40.
The Rock
Heading into the PLE, there was speculation about what WWE would do with Reigns as they’re trying to get Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to return to do the bout with Reigns, something The Rock is said to be interested in doing.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted WWE is going forward with Rhodes vs. Reigns, but they’re also still planning to do The Rock vs. Roman Reigns at some point in 2024. It’s unclear what that exactly means for WrestleMania, as there has been speculation each match could take place on each night, with Reigns working back-to-back nights.
The plan
“It is going to be Cody and Roman Reigns in a singles match, and Dwayne is coming. Dwayne-Roman Reigns match, whenever it is, it is still happening. I just don’t know where, and Bryan, you may know where because you probably know discussions that I may know too, and I can’t talk about them. But anyway, the point is that it is still happening,” Meltzer stated.
