The possibility of Reigns defending his Undisputed WWE Universal Title against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40 has been a hot topic. Cody, having triumphed in the Men’s Royal Rumble Match for the second consecutive time, made his intentions clear by pointing at Reigns, setting the stage for a WrestleMania 39 rematch at this year’s grand event.
Although the match is yet to be officially confirmed, fans are already envisioning the end of Reigns’ historic run with the championship at The Show of Shows. An X/Twitter user recently sparked a discussion, prompting viewers to share their predictions on the direction WWE might take with the Tribal Chief post his title reign.
Social media platforms erupted with diverse fan responses, reflecting the curiosity surrounding Reigns’ future without the Universal Championship. From retirement speculations to envisaging new storylines, the spectrum of opinions showcases the deep engagement of the WWE community in the unfolding narrative.
Amidst the speculations, Booker T, on his Hall of Fame podcast, weighed in on an intriguing possibility. The WWE legend discussed the potential involvement of another icon, The Rock, as a referee in the clash between Reigns and Rhodes at WrestleMania 40. While acknowledging it as a great idea to bring The Great One into the mix, Booker T expressed a personal reluctance to pursue that direction if he were in charge of the booking.
“I like that. I like that a lot. [Not a bad idea. It’s a way to get him involved.] Not a bad idea. Not a bad idea. I’m not gonna book it, but that would be a great idea,” remarked Booker T, offering his perspective on the electrifying scenario.
As fans eagerly await Cody Rhodes’ appearance on the upcoming WWE SmackDown episode, where he is expected to officially confirm the WrestleMania 40 match against Roman Reigns, the excitement surrounding the Tribal Chief’s potential post-title trajectory continues to escalate.
