WWE hopes that the match between Cody Rhodes and The Rock happens when the latter returns to WWE, something the company has teased and is reportedly planning.
The Final Boss had previously mentioned his intention to come back and target Rhodes, regardless of whether he’s holding the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Many have speculated that the match will take place at WrestleMania 41.
Appearing on a recent edition of “The Masked Man Show,” Seven Bucks SVP Brian Gewirtz was asked whether he would have plans from January through April of next year, the same duration as WrestleMania season. He said,
“Nothing happens until they step through the curtain and it happens. There are so many variables, a lot of things can happen and not happen. There is stuff that is written in pencil and stuff people might want or not want. If we get to run it back for WrestleMania 41, I’d be thrilled. I’d love to do it and be part of it. It’d be great. I want to get back into it with Cody’s dog. People are like, ‘How can you say that. He’s a good boy.’ Of course he’s a good boy. Everyone knows he’s a good boy. He’s just a stupid dog, that’s all I’m saying. There are smart dogs and dogs that are not so bright. Pharoah is not so bright, but he’s certainly a good boy. I would love to get back into all that stuff. If that phone call happens and we’re thinking about the same person [The Rock], I’d be extremely thrilled to run it back.”
