This week’s Raw marked the first stop on the Road to WrestleMania. It was a hard-hitting show featuring stars like CM Punk, Jey Uso, and Gunther. The highlight of the show was The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes. He was on the show to address his WrestleMania implications. However, he was unexpectedly interrupted by Seth Rollins.

The Visionary attempted to persuade Rhodes to choose him as his WrestleMania opponent. He went on to call out Roman Reigns’ reign as lackluster. The World Heavyweight Champion stated that The Tribal Chief’s title reign is political, while his reign revolves around being a workhorse. Rollins even went on to describe his reign as Dusty Rhodes’ nature of being a talent.

The interaction between Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes led to The American Nightmare reconsidering his decision to face The Tribal Chief. Although the Royal Rumble winner looked reluctant to face The Visionary as well, the two stars have a rich history together and have been involved in one of the greatest WWE matches of all time.

However, The Head of the Table and The American Nightmare are the main characters of the story. It is all about Rhodes going up against all odds to defeat the most dominant champion in sports entertainment. Only time will tell who Cody is going to pick. Although it is likely that Cody will go for the Needle Mover at WrestleMania in Philadelphia.

Why Cody Rhodes should consider facing Seth Rollins at WrestleMania?

Cody Rhodes has raised the subtle possibility of facing Seth Rollins at WrestleMania this week on Raw. The two stars have faced each other in the past. Overall, many fans think that this match can be a good option rather than doing a rematch for the Undisputed Title. Both Cody and Seth bring out the best in each other. Their showdown at WrestleMania was one of a kind, and the same was true for the match at Hell in a Cell in 2022.

However, if Cody chooses Rollins, he has far more chances of finishing his story than against the Roman Reigns. He would have a straight path to the Show of Shows without any distractions. Besides, rumors of The Rock adding himself to the main event at WrestleMania are also on the rise.

Furthermore, The Visionary also has no opponent for WrestleMania after the injury of CM Punk. Therefore, WWE might move towards a plan for Rhodes vs. Rollins. Only time will tell if this match happens. However, it is going to be interesting to see the road to WrestleMania from here on out.
