Cody Rhodes just teased brining in a major guest to join him at Wrestlemania, so we’ll
see what’s the latest there.
We’ll also check out what’s going on with Becky Lynch, Bayley, and more
Let’s start things off with Cody Rhodes
Cody’s 2023 WWE return has been off to an electric start
He returned at the Royal Rumble, entered at number 30, and ended up winning the whole
match to earn himself an opportunity to face the undisputed universal champion at the main
event of Wrestlemania 39
And even with Wrestlemania still being several weeks away, Cody Rhodes has been putting on
great segments to keep his story going
He’s already had great encounters with both Paul Heyman and Sami Zayn
And fans assume that we’ll most definitely get some face to face moments between both
Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns down the line as well
And one of the biggest challenges that Cody Rhodes will have to deal with is the same
exact challenge all of Roman’s other opponents had to go through… and that’s the massive
disadvantage of the numbers game
Roman and The Bloodline just outnumber anyone they came across
You may sign up for a one on one match with Roman Reigns, but it’s almost like a guarantee
that The Usos, Paul Heyman, or Solo Sikoa will get involved in someway if things start
looking bad for Roman Reigns
Prior to this upcoming match with Cody Rhodes, the last time Roman’s title reign felt truly
at risk was back at Clash At The Castle against Drew McIntyre
That was a scary matchup for Roman Reigns, but he survived because of Solo Sikoa
And it basically goes back to what Sami Zayn was saying as well, Roman and The Bloodline
just always find a way to survive and come out on top
Well Cody Rhodes recently spoke with Peter Rosenberg on Cheap Heat and they were going
over the possibility of Brandi Rhodes entering the fray
Cody Rhodes had this to say about what Brandi Rhodes has accomplished and the possibility
of her joining his side in WWE, quote:
“As far as Brandi is concerned.
I never know.
Like my dad, when Brandi got in, I went, ‘You have to do your own thing and be your own
self.’
I’m so proud.
When I talk about what we built [AEW], there is a reason why I name everybody in it.
Without Matt, Nick, Kenny, Tony Khan, Bernie, Brandi, Dana, it would have never happened.
All of those names have to be included because it was so fragile.
I’m so proud of what she did and her contributions to it.
If I’m Roman Reigns, I’m not necessarily scared of Brandi Rhodes.
If I’m Mr. Heyman, I would be scared of what could happen.
She’s really enjoying watching this.
My whole family, not that they’ve come out of the woodwork, they’ve always been big
supporters, but for Mania, because I’ve never been in this situation before, I’ve
gotten everything really organized in advance.”
End quote
So it’s an interesting teaser by Cody Rhodes
Obviously, no one wants to see a screwy finish, especially not for a Wrestlemania main event,
but if the Bloodline starts things off with their usual tactics, it would be interesting
if that’s when Brandi Rhodes could make her presence felt just to even put the odds
a bit and get things back to a fair ground
It’s not like she’s going to physically take down every single one of The Bloodline
members by herself, but even just a simple distraction will go a long way for Cody Rhodes
if Roman Reigns and The Bloodline are up to their usual shenanigans
So whatever the plan is, Cody appears to have everything already in place for his entire
family to be present for his Wrestlemania main event match
And the story is far from over, so it’s going to be very interesting to see what direction
this story goes in as we get closer to Wrestlemania
They already made it even more personal right away with Heyman and Cody’s first encounter
They kicked this feud off by saying that Roman Reigns was a creation of Dusty Rhodes and
how Dusty preferred Roman over his own sons
it doesn’t get more personal than that start right there, so be on the look out for every
little detail that’s going on with Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes
———————————
It looks like Becky Lynch’s Wrestlemania 39 story is a bit similar to Seth Rollins’
Wrestlemania story from 2022
Wrestlemania has been a very successful spot for Becky Lynch over the last few years
You look at Wrestlemania 35, Becky Lynch wins the undisputed women’s title by defeating
both Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in the main event of Wrestlemania
Then you look at Wrestlemania 36, Becky Lynch walks into the show as Raw women’s champion
and successfully defends her title against the big new threat at the time of Shayna Baszler
Then she missed Wrestlemania 37 due to her pregnancy, but she came right back at Wrestlemania
38 by walking into the show as Raw women’s champion
So for the past three Wrestlemania events that Becky Lynch competed at, she was either
winning the title, defending the title, or walking in as champion…
just all time great success
But the problem with 2023 is that Becky Lynch’s path to Wrestlemania 39 isn’t as clear as
her last three Wrestlemania appearances
And this is what Becky Lynch was talking about in her promo from Raw
She said that she’s been so occupied and distracted with Bayley and Damage Control
that she may miss out on Wrestlemania
That led to Bianca Belair and Bayley coming out to speak with Adam Pearce and Becky Lynch
Then it’s announced that Becky, Bayley, and Bianca will face each other in a triple
threat match with high stakes
If Becky or Bayley won, they get added to the Elimination Chamber match.
If Bianca won, Becky and Bayley both stay out
So it was almost like a last chance opportunity for Becky or Bayley to slip into the elimination
chamber to book their road to Wrestlemania by becoming the new number one contender for
the Raw women’s title
But the issue was that Bianca Belair ended up winning that triple threat match, so Becky
and Bayley lose that potential path to Wrestlemania
Following the conclusion to the women’s elimination chamber match, both women’s
titles matches at Wrestlemania will be booked
Bianca Belair versus the chamber winner, and Charlotte Flair versus Rhea Ripley
So unless they do something where Bianca’s Wrestlemania match turns into a triple threat,
it looks like contending for that title is out of the question for Becky Lynch
And you can see how disappointed Becky Lynch was when she wasn’t able to get the job
done on Raw
It sort of relates back to Seth Rollins’ Wrestlemania story in 2022 where he got more
crazy and desperate since he had no clear path to Wrestlemania, but of course Seth ended
up facing the returning Cody Rhodes and they had one of the greatest feuds of the year,
so that ended up working out just fine
But it looks like that will be Becky’s direction and story at least for the next few weeks
She’ll be desperately looking for her way onto the Wrestlemania 39 card
And Becky Lynch probably won’t be the only one, Bayley is sort of in the same boat
Maybe Damage Control will defend the women’s tag team titles at Wrestlemania, but it still
leaves Bayley without a match and significant role on the show
And it is very tough.
If you’re not a champion or a Royal Rumble winner, chances are that your road to Wrestlemania
could look a bit foggy and uncertain
So we have to see how this story turns out for Becky Lynch
It turned out extremely well when they did it for Seth Rollins, so does this story also
a great Wrestlemania ending for Becky Lynch?
Chances are that it will be a non-title match, so does Becky Lynch possibly face Bayley one
more time at Wrestlemania or does she move onto another new opponent?
It’ll be interesting to see what Becky Lynch’s Wrestlemania plans turn out to be
But what are your thoughts on today’s stories with Cody Rhodes and Becky Lynch?
