Cody Rhodes wants his win back.
Much has been made of a potential future match between Cody Rhodes and The Rock, with many fans arguing that Rhodes deserves to face 'The Final Boss' in a singles contest given the events of the past year and a half.
As it turns out, Rhodes does want his win back from WrestleMania 40, where he was pinned by The Rock in a tag team match. Rhodes also believes that Rock is due for more than one match, including one against Roman Reigns.
“Ah. He did [pin me last year]. I’m a bit of an ego centric individual that wants his win back. I think he’s due for more than one match and I would love to be penciled in on one of those. Obviously that schedule is as intense as it gets, but he’s still so involved with WWE, he could have easily been the final boss and just kind of taken that as a customary title, but he has really gotten his hands involved in what we’re doing. Even though we may not like one another, the thing I do like about him is instantly, no matter what he’s done, record-breaking Disney movie, whatever he did that weekend and showed up, when you look at him you can tell — oh, brother is a wrestler. It’s in there. It’s hitting the ropes and what the reaction you can get from doing wrestling moves in the ring and the promo and the interview. I really have enjoyed that connection with him, I’d like to be one of those. I think he has two matches he has to do. I’m not putting any pressure on anyone, but I think he does — I’d love to see him and his cousin, Roman Reigns ever have this encounter. Maybe it’s the greatest match we never get because timing or whatever it may be and I think we need to finish our own story with him and myself. We’ll see.” Rhodes told Pardon My Take.
The Rock last appeared for WWE at the Elimination Chamber event in March, helping John Cena turn heel after his Elimination Chamber victory.
