Seth Rollins Woos Cody Rhodes for WrestleMania 40 Clash
The WrestleMania 40 storyline takes an intriguing turn as WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins persistently courts Cody Rhodes, who recently earned the right to shape his destiny by winning the Men’s Royal Rumble match at the Royal Rumble PLE.
Cody Rhodes made history with his second consecutive Rumble win, joining the ranks of legendary figures like Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. This victory grants Rhodes the privilege of choosing which championship title to pursue at WrestleMania 40. Initially eyeing Roman Reigns, Rhodes now faces the allure of Seth Rollins, who is actively campaigning for a showdown at the grand event.
Rollins, undeterred by Rhodes’ sentimental attachment to the WWE Championship currently held by Reigns, has embarked on a psychological campaign since the Royal Rumble. Starting with an impassioned in-ring promo on WWE Raw, Rollins has taken his plea to social media, repeatedly sharing the promo video with Rhodes. In his latest attempt, Rollins encourages Rhodes to embrace a new era and continue building his empire.
“While the old guard crumbles, we have the chance to usher in a new era. You’ve built your empire by blazing trails…why stop now? @CodyRhodes”
Amid earlier speculation of a planned match against CM Punk, Rollins now awaits confirmation of his opponent for WrestleMania 40.
