Cody Rhodes finished his story by defeating Roman Reigns in the main event of Wrestlemania 40. A day after the show, there was a tease of Cody facing The Rock at Wrestlemania 41 but that might not happen. The Rock is finally expected to face Reigns in a dream match, meaning Cody will have another challenger for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
Cody is likely to be part of the main event or the opening match of Wrestlemania 41. The fans will have to wait for a few more months to get an official word on Cody's opponent for the mega event. Here, we have a look at 3 WWE superstars who can face Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania 41 –
Randy Orton
Randy Orton is the biggest WWE superstar Cody Rhodes can face at Wrestlemania 41. The WWE legend has often teased a match against Cody but they haven't shared the screen for a while now. Randy, who hasn't had a world championship match for a long time now, could either win the Royal Rumble or the Elimination Chamber match to earn the right to challenge the American Nightmare.
Randy is a 14-time world champion and a win over Cody will see him win a world championship for the 15th time. Cody has been retaining his title since Wrestlemania 40.
Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes had a rivalry in 2022 after the American Nightmare made his return at Wrestlemania 38. Cody reigned supreme during their rivalry and defeated Rollins in three back-to-back premium live events.
Despite them not being on the same page, Rollins offered Cody a World Heavyweight Championship match for Wrestlemania 30. Rollins, who lost his title to Drew McIntyre, deserves a championship match and he could be the one challenging Cody.
CM Punk
Cody eliminated CM Punk from the 2024 Royal Rumble to win the 30-man match. They teased a rivalry early in 2024 but the fans haven't seen a match between them yet. Punk, who is now on a break from WWE, could be another strong contender to challenge Cody. Punk looks all but set to be part of a title match at Wrestlemania 41.
