UPDATE ON CODY RHODES VS THE ROCK

Recent insights into Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's potential return to the WWE ring for WrestleMania have shed light on the intricacies of a long-term plan that could reshape the wrestling landscape.

According to a report from the Wrestling Observer, there is no set date for The Rock's return to the squared circle, but discussions have centered around a WrestleMania appearance next year.

Initially, The Rock expressed interest in facing Roman Reigns, but circumstances have shifted, making a singles title match against Cody Rhodes the more enticing option for now.

The prospect of The Rock working a match later this year is still possible but not guaranteed, since there's a preference for him to headline WrestleMania with Rhodes in the main event next year.

The Rock's influence within WWE suggests that his desires often shape the direction of storylines, potentially locking Rhodes in for a lengthy title reign.

There are currently no firm plans regarding the duration of Cody Rhodes' WWE Championship reign. The Rock left it open for their inevitable showdown to be a non-title match if necessary.

The Rock has also hinted at potentially defending the "people's belt", setting the stage for a belt vs. belt showdown between the two iconic figures.

The idea of a one-year build leading up to WrestleMania holds particular appeal for The Rock, reminiscent of the storyline leading into his match against John Cena. As well as a storyline he wanted to do with Brock Lesnar after Wrestlemania 29. However, unforeseen circumstances, including an injury and scheduling conflicts, derailed those plans.

As the storyline unfolds and negotiations progress, wrestling fans can expect a strategic and meticulously crafted buildup towards what promises to be a monumental clash between The Rock and Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania, reshaping the landscape of WWE for years to come.
