The big topic of discussion on the road to WrestleMania 40 is which match should main event Night 2 – Roman Reigns vs. The Rock or Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes.
While the above two matches are obviously being discussed by WWE, the Wrestling Observer is reporting that another interesting match is being discussed as a possibility for the Night 2 main event: Roman Reigns vs. The Rock vs. Cody Rhodes in a Triple Threat Match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
As of this writing, plan for Roman isn’t locked.
During an interview with Sports Illustrated, AEW wrestler Dustin Rhodes said his half-brother Cody should headline the 40th anniversary of WrestleMania for the WWE Title:
“My dad, myself, and my brother, we’re three different men. But we all love the fans, we love the business, and we take a lot of pride in protecting the Rhodes name.
Cody is on fire. This is his time. I’m very happy for him. We’re carrying on the legacy, which is very special to us.
I hope Cody’s in the main event spot against Roman. Or it’s going to be The Rock. If it is The Rock, I’m pissed – this is Cody’s time. He is becoming the face of the company, and it’s paying off. But I get it.
If it is The Rock, it’s still good business. I understand that there are a lot of people who love seeing The Rock. But I still think it’s Cody’s moment.”
Speaking on this same topic, WCW Legend Diamond Dallas Page said Cody is the new People’s Champion:
“The reason why [the WrestleMania 40 main event] works for Cody and Roman — it’s old school. Everything about it is old school. Let’s build to the big pay-per-view, which is doing the biggest business they’ve ever done as far as numbers are concerned.
They’re doing the biggest business; that’s what it comes down to, and Cody is a humungous reason for that.
Now, he’s — the original ‘People’s Champion’ was Muhammad Ali. Dusty Rhodes. ‘Diamond’ Dallas Page. The Rock. And now it’s Cody. That’s ‘The People’s Champion’. They want it so bad.”
