Reportedly, WWE is considering several major names to face Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. At WrestleMania 40, Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns, ending his record-breaking title reign of 1,316 days. After capturing the top prize in WWE, Rhodes became the face of the promotion. He has been involved in several major storylines, including classic matches with AJ Styles at Backlash and Clash at the Castle. Additionally, Rhodes has defended his title against the likes of Logan Paul, Solo Sikoa, and Kevin Owens.
Now holding the title for more than 250 days, Rhodes is currently embroiled in a heated rivalry with Kevin Owens. At WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Rhodes defeated Owens. However, after the match, Owens attacked him with a devastating piledriver, resulting in Rhodes being stretchered out of the arena.
As 2025 approaches and the WrestleMania 41 season begins, speculation has surfaced about who will face Rhodes at the event. Fans are wondering if Rhodes will have a rematch with Roman Reigns or face The Rock. The latter matchup comes after WWE teased a potential match between him and The Rock after WrestleMania 40. However, recent reports suggest several names for Rhodes’ opponent at WrestleMania 41, with John Cena and CM Punk among the potential contenders.
Cody Rhodes’ potential opponents list include John Cena, CM Punk & others
According to WrestleVotes Backstage Pass, Cody Rhodes may lose the title at some point in 2025. While no specific date has been set, WrestleMania 41 is being considered a potential turning point in his storyline. The report also mentions that WWE officials are looking at CM Punk, Roman Reigns, John Cena, and even The Rock as possible opponents for Rhodes in Las Vegas.
With these huge names being considered as potential opponents for Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, it will be impressive to see which direction the promotion takes in the coming months.
