Could WrestleMania 40 go off the air with Cody Rhodes holding both the World Heavyweight Championship and the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship?
While it\'s known that Cody will challenge for a World Championship at WrestleMania 40, there has been plenty of speculation as to which champion he\'ll face. Ever since his loss at WrestleMania 39, it was expected that Cody would face Roman Reigns this year and get his win back, ending the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion\'s historic run in the process. When The Rock returned during the Day 1 Raw, he teased coming for Reigns\' spot as Head of the Table.
CM Punk\'s Injury
During the 2024 Men\'s Royal Rumble, CM Punk suffered a torn triceps. Punk has confirmed that he will miss WrestleMania 40, leaving World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins without an opponent. On this week\'s Raw, Rollins encouraged Rhodes to challenge him at WrestleMania 40. After Rhodes told Rollins he\'d think about it, the Architect continued his campaign on social media. A Rhodes-Rollins match would in theory leave Reigns free to face his cousin.
Winner Takes All?
While it\'s expected that Rhodes could challenge for one championship in Philadelphia, the American Nightmare wouldn\'t say no to leaving with both titles. When a fan on Twitter suggested a \'Winner Takes All\' stipulation featuring Reigns, Rollins, and Rhodes, Cody made it clear he was interested in the idea.
