NEW DELHI: Cody Rhodes's long-standing goal of headlining WrestleMania 40 and claiming the World Championship is now shrouded in uncertainty, as speculation about The Rock's potential return to the squared circle takes center stage. This development raises questions about Rhodes's presumed role as the opponent for Roman Reigns at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
Despite the swirling speculation, Cody Rhodes, known as The American Nightmare, has remained resolute and unfazed, expressing confidence that he will indeed be in the main event of WrestleMania 40 to bring his story to a conclusion.
However, according to sources cited by Sports Illustrated, multiple insiders close to WWE's Head of Creative, Paul "Triple H" Levesque, have indicated a different narrative. These sources suggest that Cody Rhodes will not be given the opportunity to headline this year's WrestleMania, casting doubt on his ability to culminate his storyline at the prestigious event.

The Rock's status for WrestleMania 40 has come under scrutiny following his appointment to TKO's Board of Directors, potentially impacting the overall landscape of the event.
