WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes wanted a WrestleMania rematch with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia on April 6 and 7, 2024. However, Dwayne Johnson, aka “The Rock,” has also expressed interest in facing Reigns. On the other hand, The American Nightmare is looking to avenge his WrestleMania 39 loss and complete his storyline against The Big Dog.
Hence, fans are confused about the showdown they will see at WM 40. Roman Reigns currently surpasses Cody Rhodes on a unique list. WrestleMania in Philadelphia could be the ideal arena for their showdown, and fans are eager for this matchup.
Roman Reigns tops Cody Rhodes in unique list
While Dwayne Johnson is WWE superstar, Cody Rhodes also has impressive ratings and fan support. This sets the stage for an exciting showdown as WWE’s best minute-for-minute ratings are revealed and Cody Rhodes takes second place while Roman Reigns tops the list. This creates more opportunities for the two top players to face each other in the upcoming WrestleMania.
In WWE, certain stars attract more viewers than others. According to Dave Meltzer, the top minute-by-minute ratings draws for WWE are Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and John Cena. Roman Reigns has been WWE’s top star for years and holds the undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Cody Rhodes is a top fan favorite, and John Cena boosts ratings every time he returns to WWE TV.
It’s no surprise that the Tribal Chief is at the top of the list, as he is the only person capable of attracting more than 3 million viewers on US TV these days. Nevertheless, Roman’s fans are highly satisfied that their hero is undefeated and on track to potentially become a legendary wrestler very soon.
Reigns vs Rhodes potentially planned for WM 40
Fans have been speculating that The Rock will face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. The Rock’s recent comments raised doubts about Cody Rhodes completing his story, but the sports entertainer industry prioritizes ratings and viewership. Considering viewership, Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 seems most likely to happen.
According to the Wrestling Observer, Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes are WWE’s top minute-for-minute ratings leaders, meaning they have attracted the most viewers on WWE TV recently. If these two appear together on screen, especially at an event like WrestleMania 40 next year, it could significantly boost WWE ratings.
Furthermore, as per Fightful reports, Cody has achieved something extraordinary – his merchandise is outselling typical WWE merchandise, with the exception of the Big Dog, which is quite unusual.
