WrestleMania 42 Main Event: Cody vs. Roman... Off the Table?!
According to the Wrestling Observer Radio's Dave Meltzer, the much-anticipated WrestleMania 42 showdown between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns is "probably not happening." This massive shift reportedly stems from the decision to award the WWE title to Drew McIntyre. Imagine the disappointment if this trilogy doesn't materialize! This comes as a surprise to many, especially given the history between Rhodes and Reigns. But here's where it gets controversial... could this be a swerve? A way to lower expectations before a surprise booking that sends the crowd into a frenzy? Or is this a genuine change of plans, paving the way for a different main event entirely? Who do you think should challenge Roman if not Cody? Chime in below!
