10 New Directions For WWE In 2024
4. Cody Rhodes On Top
Some wrestling fans won't rest until Cody Rhodes pins Roman's shoulders to the mat to "finish the story" and become Undisputed WWE Champ. People were angry when Rhodes failed to do that at WrestleMania 39, and they'll be ready to riot if he's booked to lose again come 'Mania XL/40.
Prediction time: Rhodes will "finish the story", albeit not alone. There's a lot of chatter about The Rock butting in from Hollywood and wrestling Reigns in Philly. That could happen, of course, but Dwayne Johnson's schedule is busier than AEW's roster, and that might make WWE's dream match an impossibility.
Surely Rocky would be able to come in and help Cody beat Roman (if only to put Reigns, who considers himself head of the family, in his place)? Johnson wouldn't have to train for a match if so, and fans would get what they want. WWE too, because 'Mania would have a happy ending.
Then, if need be, Rock can always wrestle Roman in a grudge match when he has free time.
