Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes is hopeful to get back in the ring with The Rock, who he believes has more than enough left in the ‘tank.’
In his first match since 2016, The Rock teamed with Roman Reigns to defeat Cody and Seth Rollins during WrestleMania 40 (Night One) in April 2024.
On a recent edition of the “Insight” podcast, Cody spoke about his feud with the Final Boss and his hopes that they do battle again. He said,
“If he never comes back, he’s done it all. He really has. As much as I insulted him previously, it was an honor to be part of his last outing. But what I learned physically in the ring with him, it shouldn’t be his last outing. There’s more. There’s not just gas left in the tank, there might be multiple tanks. There’s more and I would like the WWE Universe or pro wrestling fans. I’d like them to see that.
“I think there’s a world where [he’s the] WWE Director of the Board, great. But I think there’s a world where WWE really benefits and this young audience being able to connect with him, they don’t know him as The People’s Champ they know him as The Final Boss. That offer stands whenever.”
The offer in question came at Elimination Chamber: Perth 2024 where Rhodes vowed he’d face The Rock one-on-one anytime, anyplace.
It has been reported that WWE intends for a one-on-one match at WrestleMania 41 in April 2025 though a match has yet to be publicly announced.
