In the aftermath of last week’s SmackDown, Cody’s WrestleMania journey has become the topic of conversation among wrestling enthusiasts. Social media platforms are overflowing with posts and comments featuring the ‘WeWantCody’ hashtag. This fervor has even spilled over into live arenas and shows, as evidenced by the ‘Rocky Sucks’ chants on the most recent episode of Raw.
During the latest edition of Monday Night Raw, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion took the opportunity to seek some answers. However, the segment was hijacked by the crowd’s incessant ‘Rocky Sucks’ chants, preventing both superstars from expressing their thoughts. The Visionary responded in a lighthearted manner, expressing his surprise at being booed by wrestling fans.
After Cody emerged victorious in the Royal Rumble, it became evident that he desired a showdown with for the Undisputed Title at WrestleMania. However, during last week’s episode of Raw, Rollins made an appearance and attempted to persuade Cody to challenge him instead of Roman. Eventually, Cody decided against facing Rollins, allowing The Rock to go after The Tribal Chief, much to the disappointment of the fans.

The fans are taking this matter very seriously and are clamoring for Cody to be given his rightful place at WrestleMania. This situation bears a striking resemblance to the ‘s YES movement, where the WWE Universe compelled the Authority, both on and off screen, to grant him an opportunity to compete for the title. Consequently, this led to one of the most memorable moments of his career at The Grandest Stage of Them All. It remains to be seen whether history will repeat itself this year.
Seth Rollins attempted to convince Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes to challenge him instead of Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. He took multiple jabs at The Tribal Chief, asserting that he is no longer the top guy and even dismissing his championship as a mere facade. Former WWE manager shared his thoughts on Rollins’ promo, stating that it lacked coherence.
During his podcast ‘Cornette’s Drive-Thru’, he emphasized that Rollins’ criticism of Roman was unfounded. He further argued that Seth was trying to convince people that he was a superior champion to his former teammate, which is simply not the case.
However, it should be noted that Roman also took the opportunity to mock Rollins on SmackDown last week. Therefore, fans can anticipate the rivalry between the two to unfold in the future. The upcoming weeks will undoubtedly be filled with intrigue and anticipation.
