Seth Rollins Sparks Doubt in WrestleMania 40 Plans for WWE Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns
On the latest episode of WWE Raw, Cody Rhodes basked in the glory of his unprecedented back-to-back Royal Rumble victories, only to be rudely interrupted by Seth Rollins.
The reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion had urgent words for Rhodes, eager to share a proposition that couldn’t wait.
Amidst the cheers and a supportive ‘You deserve it!’ chant from the crowd, Rollins joined Rhodes in the ring. Rather than challenging Roman Reigns for WrestleMania 40, as planned after his Royal Rumble success, Rollins suggested Cody should set his sights on Rollins’ own championship.
Rollins not only congratulated Cody but also provided compelling reasons why the Raw-specific WWE World Heavyweight Championship held more significance than the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. He even labeled Reigns’ title as the ‘Hollywood title,’ suggesting it lacked the hard-earned prestige of the World Heavyweight Championship.
Referring to his own championship as the ‘Dusty Rhodes Championship,’ Rollins urged Cody to contemplate which title truly held more value. Cody seemed visibly swayed by Rollins’ arguments, concluding the segment by expressing he would ‘think about it.’
