The anticipation surrounding Cody Rhodes’s challenge for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL is palpable. As the countdown begins, Hall of Famer Booker T voiced concerns about the potential outcome, especially with Damian Priest lurking as a dark horse in the championship scenario. He expressed reservations on the Hall of Fame podcast, suggesting that a swift title change from Rhodes to Priest could deflate the excitement akin to a basketball losing air.
Rhodes, determined to conclude his narrative at WWE WrestleMania, is no stranger to championship aspirations. His previous bid to unseat Reigns at WrestleMania 39 was thwarted, setting the stage for a redemption arc at this year’s grand event. Despite past setbacks, Rhodes remains resolute in his quest for the coveted title, even promising to dedicate the victory to his mother in a heartfelt display of determination.

This matchup only serves to heighten the stakes for Rhodes, setting the stage for a whirlwind of action and uncertainty leading up to his pivotal clash with Reigns on the following night.
With the relentless unpredictability that defines WWE, the looming question of whether Damian Priest will capitalize on his Money in the Bank contract to target Rhodes adds an extra layer of suspense to the unfolding drama. As fans eagerly await the spectacle that WrestleMania XL promises to deliver, the intricate web of alliances, rivalries, and potential title changes sets the stage for a thrilling showdown that could redefine the terrain of WWE.
