The Rock's Involvement
Wrestling fans have had mixed reactions to The Rock's comeback. On one hand, his star power has brought attention to the event. On the other hand, his actions and comments have stirred controversy, particularly his personal attacks on Rhodes and his family. The Rock's dominance in the storyline has also made Reigns appear less relevant, raising concerns about the portrayal of WWE's top stars.
Cody Rhodes Needs To Win
For many fans, the ideal outcome is clear: Cody Rhodes should emerge victorious. Rhodes has worked hard and deserves to fulfill his dream and uphold his family's legacy after a protracted journey. Winning would mean more than just a personal victory for Rhodes; it would also bring much-needed stability to the WWE Universe, which has been yearning for an enduring champion who can be seen as an authentic representation of the brand.
As WrestleMania 40 approaches, the question remains: Will Cody Rhodes finally get his moment in the spotlight, or will The Rock's overshadowing presence alter the course of WWE history?
