The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and The Bloodline have had Cody Rhodes' number leading up to WrestleMania XL.
WCW veteran Konnan recently entertained the thought of former AEW World Champion MJF showing up in WWE this weekend at WrestleMania XL. Fans have been chewing over the possibility of The Salt of the Earth jumping ship to WWE since he was removed from AEW's official roster page.
Maxwell Jacob Friedman is currently nursing an injury, and the latest report appeared to have quashed any speculation of his AEW departure. Speaking on the Keepin' It 100 podcast, Konnan discussed the idea of MJF helping Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes fend off The Bloodline only to turn on his former mentor.
"It's a no DQ match, and they go in, and they're on Cody (Rhodes). All of a sudden, Jey (Uso) comes out. He hits one guy with like... a steel pipe. He hits the other guy, but the other two guys (Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu) get on him, okay. And that's when somebody comes in a hood or something, and, you know, helps Jey [sic] do a comeback on these two guys, and he takes off his hood, and it's MJF, and the guy says, 'Oh! That's MJF, that's Cody's protege. He followed him here to WWE.' When they shake hands, he hits him with something, MJF, and the last thing you see is Cody laying on the floor, with MJF smirking," Konnan said. [6:58 - 7:41]

The Salt of the Earth accused The Brahma Bull of copying his style of lashing The American Nightmare. He expressed disappointment over Dwayne Johnson trying to buy a customized painting from his ex-girlfriend, Naomi Rosenblum.
"First you steal my glorious idea to lash Cody. Now you try to cop art from my ex. I’m a fan. But please leave me be, Dewey," wrote MJF.
MJF's cheeky remarks against The Rock have fueled speculation of his potential appearance at WrestleMania XL.
