Cody Rhodes vs Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson: Positive Update for Fans as New WWE Champion Teases “Singles Match”

Dwayne Johnson teased a potential match against Cody Rhodes at Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania XL during a promo. Before parting ways with the promotion and going on a hiatus once again, The Rock delivered one last promo to keep the new Undisputed WWE Champion in check. The WWE legend claimed that the story between Rhodes and him has just begun.

The former AEW EVP recently sat down in an interview where he was asked about the possibility of him wrestling against the “Final Boss” soon. And his answer is surely going to make fans’ day.

Cody Rhodes wants to face Dwayne Johnson

The American Nightmare faced The Rock in a tag team match during the first night of WrestleMania XL. This helped him become more confident in facing the rather intimidating Samoan superstar. Now, following the teaser for their potential feud, Rhodes says that he wishes to face the legend one day. “I’d like to see it, we’ve had one tag match together, the singles match is definitely something fans looking forward to seeing,” confessed Cody Rhodes in the interview with Good Morning Britain.

To entice the TKO board member, Cody Rhodes believes that he would have to be a good champion if not a great one. He added to this point by saying, “I think the more we keep this, the better we do, the more chances it lures [The] Rock back in the play.” The rumors regarding a potential future bout between the two started after The Brahma Bull handed Cody Rhodes something mysterious and demanded he never break his heart again. This was in the same promo in which Johnson revealed that their story had just begun.

Even after the Hollywood superstar left the promotion, he remains in competition with the Undisputed Universal Champion.

Dwayne Johnson is profiting more than the new champion

Even though Johnson left WWE following Raw after Mania, his fame didn’t pack up from the WWE shop. The impact that the WWE legend has on fans’ hearts got them spending several bucks on a T-shirt that has “Final Boss” written all over it. While Johnson’s merch is on the top among the best sellers in the WWE Shop, Cody Rhodes’ champion tees are behind at number three.

This shows that even though the 38-year-old has recently ruled the headlines, he still has a long way to go before he can cross his legendary rival. Moreover, this also denotes that the feud between them has already begun in a way.
