After WrestleMania 40, WWE teased a massive showdown between The Rock and Cody Rhodes, sparking widespread speculation. Many fans believe this highly anticipated match could happen at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas in April 2025.
Cody Rhodes is currently feuding with Kevin Owens, and the two will face off next week at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14. Since WrestleMania 40, Rhodes has clashed with AJ Styles, Logan Paul, Solo Sikoa, and now Kevin Owens.
Fans widely expect Rhodes to hold onto the WWE Undisputed Championship until WrestleMania 41. This could set the stage for a WWE Undisputed title match between Cody Rhodes and The Rock at the WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.
Recent reports revealed that WWE is moving forward with its creative plans assuming The Rock will not appear at WrestleMania 41. However, the promotion has kept the door open for The Final Boss’ involvement if he becomes available for the show.
A few months ago, The Rock declared that he would be at WrestleMania 41. Despite recent reports casting doubt on his appearance, rumblings suggest the match could still take place. Hints of this possibility surfaced during The Rock’s Moana 2 premiere, fueling excitement among fans.
The Rock & Cody Rhodes spark buzz at Moana 2 premiere
A few weeks ago, WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, and Becky Lynch attended the premiere of Moana 2. While Rhodes and Rollins, who faced The Rock at WrestleMania 40, did not appear alongside him at the event. Recent reports suggest a major update that hints at the possibility of a match between Rhodes and The Rock.
According to a Fightful Select behind paywall reports The Rock’s appearance at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event was primarily meant to get him on screen. However, it did not lead to any significant storyline developments. While he signaled “1-2-3” to Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and Jimmy Uso, nothing materialized from that moment since then.
Reports indicate that Rhodes and The Rock “filmed something” during the Moana 2 premiere, though it remains uncertain whether this footage will ever be released. However, this development has sparked speculations that it could mark the beginning of a feud, potentially leading into a match at WrestleMania 41 next year in Las Vegas.
