Cody Rhodes, the Undisputed WWE Champion, visited Good Morning Britain as part of WWE’s visit to the United Kingdom this week. In addition to promoting a live event at the O2 Arena tonight (April 19), Rhodes talked about his story and the completion of that tale while sharing anecdotes about his father, WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes.
Soon, the conversation turned to Hollywood and the wrestlers who have made their way to Tinseltown, such as Dave Batista, John Cena, and last but not least, The Rock, whose return to WWE is something the champ is looking forward to.
“He’s not my favorite person on Earth, The Rock,” said Rhodes. “But for me, it’s a sense where Hollywood kind of, I didn’t go to Hollywood, Hollywood has come to me in the form of The Rock Dwayne Johnson. And he’s got like, what we’d say… like a little obsession with me. So I await his return.”
On -WrestleMania episode of Raw, Rhodes and The Rock shared a tense moment in the ring where the Hollywood megastar said their story was just beginning. Rock added that even though he had to go away for a while to film a movie, upon completion, he would return to finish his business with Rhodes.
The American Nightmare was asked directly if that fight would happen. Rhodes said yes, but such a confrontation would probably be based on how well he performs as champion.
“I think it’ll really come down to, can I be a good champion, or, not even, a great champion. Roman Reigns was a great champion, and will that be enough to entice The Rock.”
Rhodes is confident that the momentum created by himself, Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley, and others could convince The Final Boss to return for another match. If it happens, it’s likely to occur next year. According to the news ticker on screen, Rhodes “could face rival ‘The Rock’ in 2025.”
