At WrestleMania 40, Cody Rhodes finally finished the story and ended the 1,316-day reign of Roman Reigns to become Undisputed WWE Champion. Emotions ran high, as heard from Samantha Irvin, as the show went off the air, but Rhodes has promised something even bigger for next year’s show.
While speaking to The Schmo, Cody was asked about plans for WrestleMania 41, which will take place on April 19, and 20, from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. While the American Nightmare was unsurprisingly hush-hush on specifics, Rhodes promised that the show would eclipse what fans saw this year in Philadelphia.
“The goal is always to top the year before. WrestleMania is like our Super Bowl—it’s the beginning and the end of WWE’s calendar year. It’s the start, the reset, everything. With WrestleMania 40, we finished the story, so now going into WrestleMania 41, we have to raise the bar. Here’s what I’ll say without giving too much away: I think what happens at WrestleMania 41 won’t align with a lot of the rumors out there. It’ll be more unexpected and, without a doubt, it will top WrestleMania 40.”
Details remain secret for WrestleMania 41, though Rhodes recently weighed in on rumors of a triple-threat match with The Rock and Roman Reigns. Fans will just have to wait and see what comes next April in Sin City, but Rhodes certainly has high hopes for the Showcase of the Immortals.
