On the February twenty first episode of Smackdown, The Rock confirmed up and spoke with Cody Rhodes. Throughout their section, he informed Cody that he desires his ‘Soul’ and he desires his reply on the Elimination Chamber PPV.
I’m an enormous fan of The Rock however this was a bizarre section. I really feel like he might need forgotten a few of his strains? I’m not 100% positive but it surely was positively a complicated promo and never his finest work on the mic.
It did go away followers with intrigue although for what’s coming subsequent on this storyline. So mission achieved from that standpoint.
I believe that many followers are questioning what this implies and what this storyline might be resulting in. I figured that I might give my predictions.
We acquired a touch on the press convention after Smackdown from The Rock. He mentioned one thing alongside the strains that his character and Cody Rhodes are in a singular place the place it doesn’t essentially must culminate right into a match.
The Rock could be mendacity right here (as that is pro-wrestling) however I’m going to take him at his phrase for now. I don’t assume they’ll do Cody Rhodes vs The Rock at Wrestlemania 41. It doesn’t actually make sense except the Rock goes to place himself into the Elimination Chamber match after which win it. I don’t actually see that occuring. If Cody and The Rock are going to face off, it in all probability gained’t be till Wrestlemania 42 subsequent 12 months, the place they’ve extra time to construct.
For my predictions, I need to begin with the short-term, which is Cody’s choice on the Elimination Chamber.
I believe that Cody goes to say no the supply from The Rock on the PPV. In the event that they have been going to do company Cody or that sort of storyline, I believe they’d have finished extra of a shock reveal. If he simply walks into the PPV, says he accepts the supply, it could really feel a bit bizarre to me.
The query is, what’s going to be the long-term implications of Cody turning this down?
My prediction for this storyline is that Cody will not be going to promote his soul to the Rock however anyone will. Somebody goes to take The Rock up on his supply and promote their soul to him. This particular person will turn out to be The Rock’s company Champion.
This may result in that particular person successful the title from Cody, seemingly after some assist from the Rock to do it. That seems like the way in which that that is going. Cody says no however another person says sure and that particular person wins the title.
There are lots of fascinating choices for the place this might go and who the particular person shall be that accepts the supply.
John Cena is unquestionably essentially the most fascinating route that they’ll go in my view. A determined John Cena, who desires to win his seventeenth Championship, turns heel and aligns with the Rock. Cena turning heel and aligning with the Rock can be a significant twist and make for a memorable second.
I don’t assume it is going to be Cena although as that seems like it could be a long term storyline. And If Cena is retiring over the following 12 months, I’m not positive that they’ll go that route. He additionally by no means turned heel in his entire profession, so I don’t assume he’ll achieve this on the very finish. I’m not going to put in writing it off utterly and I might love for this to occur, however I’m not going to predict it.
My present prediction is it is going to be CM Punk who takes up the Rock on his supply. I believe Punk will win the Elimination Chamber match after which settle for the Rock’s supply, which ends up in Punk successful the title at Wrestlemania 41 (seemingly with The Rock’s assist).
I believe this makes essentially the most sense from a storyline standpoint. Punk sells out as a way to get the primary occasion match at Wrestlemania that he has all the time needed.
I believe it could be an thrilling second and parallel again within the day when Stone Chilly shook fingers with Mr. McMahon.
Lengthy-term, this might result in: Cody Rhodes vs The Rock at Wrestlemania 42 subsequent 12 months. It may additionally result in CM Punk vs Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 42 subsequent 12 months.
What do you guys assume will occur? I additionally posted a video on this, so please test that out as properly.
