Cody Rhodes is gearing up for a busy weekend as he prepares to headline both nights of WrestleMania 40 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Before his matches against The Rock and Roman Reigns on Saturday, and against Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship on Sunday, Rhodes revealed a pre-match ritual he follows. He bites down on a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup in hopes of enhancing his appearance in the ring, although he admits it mostly just ends up getting stuck in his teeth.
Rhodes is seeking revenge against Reigns for his loss at WrestleMania 39, where a member of The Bloodline faction interfered in the match, allowing Reigns to retain his championship. Since then, Rhodes has faced and defeated several top competitors to earn his shot at Reigns’ title. He almost forfeited his opportunity to face Reigns again in favor of giving it to The Rock, but ultimately decided to stick with the match. If Rhodes and his partner Seth Rollins lose to The Rock and Reigns on Night 1, Sunday’s title match will be a Bloodline Rules match, where anything goes.
The road to WrestleMania 40 hasn’t been easy for Rhodes, as he has had to navigate through tough competitors and obstacles to earn his spot in the main event. His loyal fanbase played a significant role in helping him stay on course and maintain his focus on challenging Reigns for the championship. Despite facing formidable opponents such as Brock Lesnar, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Drew McIntyre, Rhodes persevered and emerged victorious to secure his shot at the title.
Rhodes’ upcoming match against Reigns is one of the most anticipated bouts of WrestleMania 40, with fans eagerly awaiting to see if he can finally claim the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship. The stakes are high, especially if Rhodes and Rollins fail to defeat The Rock and Reigns on Night 1, as it would lead to a no-holds-barred showdown on Sunday. With tensions running high and the pressure mounting, Rhodes will need to rely on his skills, determination, and the support of his fans to overcome the challenges ahead and emerge victorious in his quest for championship glory.
As Rhodes prepares to step into the ring for the biggest matches of his career, he remains focused on his goals and determined to make a statement at WrestleMania 40. With his unique pre-match ritual and unwavering determination, Rhodes is ready to put everything on the line to achieve his dream of becoming the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion. The stage is set, the anticipation is building, and all eyes will be on Rhodes as he prepares to headline the historic event and cement his legacy in the world of professional wrestling.
