In a shocking twist to the 2024 WWE WrestleMania storylines, it appears that the highly anticipated third match between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes has been put on the backburner. According to a WWE insider, the company has decided to scale back plans for another title bout between the two superstars, at least for the time being.
Reigns vs. Rhodes 3 Delayed
Sources close to Cody Rhodes revealed that the wrestling giant had initially been penciled in for a third match against Roman Reigns, with rumors circulating that he could even be crowned WWE Universal Champion. However, it seems that fate has other plans, and Cody’s next move will not be a direct challenge to the Tribal Chief’s throne.
“Roman and Cody have had an incredible trilogy so far, but the creative team has decided to take a step back and reassess their plans for WrestleMania,” a WWE insider explained. “While Cody will still be a part of the event, his role has been significantly scaled back, and it’s unclear at this point what path he’ll take.”
Cody Rhodes Heel Turn on Hold
Furthermore, rumors of a Cody Rhodes heel turn have also been put on hold, at least for the foreseeable future. According to a source within WWE, Cody had been pushing for a darker, more aggressive character, but the creative team is hesitant to commit to such a drastic change.
“Cody’s been working on some incredible promos, and he’s really been pushing the boundaries of his character,” a source revealed. “However, the powers that be are still on the fence about whether or not to go full-on heel with him. They’re worried that it might be a step too far for the audience.”
What’s Next for Cody Rhodes?
With his title aspirations and heel turn plans on hold, Cody Rhodes will have to look elsewhere for his next move. Sources close to the star hint that he may be exploring other options, including a potential feud with a high-profile opponent.
“Cody’s got a lot of irons in the fire, and he’s been talking to several people about potential matches and storylines,” a source revealed. “He’s got a lot of creative control, and he’s not afraid to take risks. Whatever he decides to do next, it’s sure to be big.”
What’s Next for Roman Reigns?
Meanwhile, Roman Reigns’ road to WrestleMania is looking stronger than ever. With Cody Rhodes out of the picture, at least for now, the Tribal Chief is free to focus on his own plans for the event.
“Roman’s feeling great about his position in the company right now,” a source revealed. “He’s got a lot of momentum behind him, and he’s confident that he’ll be at the top of the mountain come WrestleMania.”
