2 Reasons Why Seth Rollins Is Not the True Partner Cody Rhodes Is Looking for at WrestleMania XL

WWE is known for all it’s twists and turns. One such twist that fans have been anticipating for a long time is Seth Rollins turning on Cody Rhodes. In case you missed it, Rollins has decided to team up with Rhodes to fight Roman Reigns and Dwayne Johnson at WrestleMania XL. The two will be facing the Samoan Stars in a tag team match on Night 1 which will decide the faith and future of Cody Rhodes in WWE.

However, one question everyone has been asking is whether Seth Rollins is worthy of being trusted. We have two reasons why Seth Rollins might not be the partner Cody Rhodes is looking for.

A history riddled with betrayal

In recent memory, fans have viewed The Visionary as a face. However, his past is riddled with betrayals. The most infamous of his betrayals is from 2014 when he turned on his stablemates, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. Before the three went their separate ways and Roman Reigns became the Undisputed Champion, they were the most dominant faction in wrestling history, The Shield.

While the trio started as heels, they quickly ended up becoming fan favorites and were declared as faces. However, everything changed on the June 2, 2014 episode of Raw. Rollins decided to turn on his brothers and attacked Reigns and Ambrose with a steel chair and sided with the Authority.

While he had betrayed other stars in the past, this betrayal had scarred WWE fans for life as this was something that no one saw coming. Due to this, while he might have good intentions with Rhodes, fans are still doubtful about whether he might double-cross Rhodes in the future or not.

However, his history might not be enough to explain why he might betray him. A few words said by Rollins about American Nightmare might give us a glimpse of what is yet to come.

Seth Rollins might not be fond of Cody Rhodes

After he returned to WWE at WrestleMania 38, the first WWE star Rhodes faced was Rollins. He was introduced as a surprise opponent and everyone including Rollins was shocked. However, in January 2023, Rollins opened up about how he felt about Cody Rhodes’ return. He said, “The only disrespect I had for Cody Rhodes was that he tried to come in and steal my spotlight. I shouldn’t say ‘tried to steal it.’ He tried to use my spotlight to catapult himself to where he wanted to go.”

After accusing him of stealing his spotlight, he called Rhodes a selfish S.O.B. While these views may have evolved, there might be a selfish reason as to why he decided to side with Rhodes since WrestleMania XL Kick-Off. Is it in a bid to take out Roman Reigns to become the ultimate champion? Who knows? Share with us in the comments below whether you think Seth Rollins will betray Cody Rhodes.
