Will Cody Rhodes Finish The Story At WrestleMania 40?

Cody Rhodes is on the brink of finishing his story, according to some recent hints surfacing online.

Cody Rhodes will challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40 Night Two. But the Night One results could have a major impact on Cody Rhodes' one-on-one match with Roman Reigns. Despite The Bloodline throwing everything at Cody Rhodes, like a true superhero, he might overcome the odds and finally finish the story. Here are a few reasons why:

WWE is reportedly creating new merchandise for Cody Rhodes that hints at his win

According to Xero News, Cody Rhodes will reportedly finish his story at WrestleMania 40. The hint for the win is apparently in Cody Rhodes' upcoming merchandise post-WrestleMania 40.

Cody Rhodes' win sets up Roman Reigns vs. The Rock

Apart from this, there are two more reasons why Cody Rhodes could finish his story. One is to set up Roman Reigns vs. The Rock at WrestleMania 41. This could happen if The Rock turns on his cousin Roman Reigns, eventually leading to WrestleMania 41 main event in 2025. 

This will be a rivalry based on personal emotions and does not need a title. The Rock and Roman Reigns had come face-to-face a few months ago, which gave us all a tease that the dream match between The Rock and Roman Reigns would finally happen. However, fans' love for Cody Rhodes forced WWE to go in different directions. Cody Rhodes winning at WrestleMania 40 could set it all back.

It helps Roman Reigns move on and explore new things

There are many rumors floating online that, for quite some time, Roman Reigns wanted to give up his championship, but WWE kept it on. With all the buzz around WrestleMania 40, this could be the perfect time for Roman Reigns to move on to new things by putting Cody Rhodes over.

This is Cody Rhodes' second crack at the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. It's do or die for Cody Rhodes come WrestleMania 40. If Cody Rhodes doesn't do it this time, we don't know how many more chances he will get.

The tag team main event match on Night One will play a huge role in the main event of Night Two. If Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins win on Night One, Cody Rhodes is the favorite to finish his story, if not, it will be a huge mountain for him to climb.
