Cody Rhodes, a prominent figure since his 2022 WWE return, won the 2024 Royal Rumble to face Reigns. Despite past setbacks, Cody’s determination prevailed, earning him a title shot. However, a twist unfolded when Dwayne Johnson intervened, requesting Rhodes to step aside for a WrestleMania main event against Reigns. Rhodes agreed, making The Rock vs. Reigns match official.
While Rhodes received support for his decision to give the spotlight to The Rock, some fans and celebrities advocated for him to main-event WrestleMania instead. Numerous WWE celebrities have joined fans in expressing their support for Rhodes and his title shot with the ‘We Want Cody Rhodes’ campaign.
Ex-WWE wrestler Matt Cardona was clear that he wants Cody Rhodes to go and fight in WrestleMania 40 instead of The Rock.
