What's Happening?
WWE is reportedly planning a potential match between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes, following their interactions during the men's WarGames match at Survivor Series. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling
Observer Newsletter, a title match between Reigns and Rhodes is expected, though it is not confirmed for WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas. Seth Rollins, who is recovering from a shoulder injury, may also be a factor if the Reigns vs. Rhodes match does not occur. Reigns and Rhodes were on the same WarGames team but faced a confrontation after their loss. Reigns expressed his desire to pursue a title, hinting at a future clash with Rhodes. Additionally, TNA is reportedly interested in having AJ Styles participate in a match for their debut episode on AMC, highlighting the ongoing collaboration between WWE and TNA.
Why It's Important?
The potential match between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 42 could be a major draw for WWE, given their history and the storyline tension between them. This match would continue the narrative established in previous WrestleManias, where each has secured a victory over the other, setting the stage for a decisive encounter. The involvement of Seth Rollins adds another layer of intrigue, as his return could shift the dynamics of the title picture. The collaboration between WWE and TNA, particularly involving a star like AJ Styles, underscores the evolving landscape of professional wrestling, where cross-promotional appearances are becoming more common. This could lead to increased viewership and fan interest across both brands.
