3 ways The Rock can resume his rivalry with Cody Rhodes at WWE Royal Rumble 2025

The Rock and Cody Rhodes met again on WWE on this week's WWE RAW, but to the surprise of many, their interaction no longer had its previous intensity and hatred. However, this can just be The Final Boss' way of tricking The American Nightmare.

The Rock returned on WWE RAW's Netflix debut and gave his flowers to Cody Rhodes for what he did for the company in the past year. As per reports, The Final Boss seemingly turned face as he might not be able to participate at WrestleMania 41 due to reshoots for Moana. Still, nothing is set in stone and there's still the possibility the Hollywood star can make time for the festivities, possibly beginning at Royal Rumble 2025.

For this list, we will look at three ways The Rock can resume his rivalry with Cody Rhodes at WWE Royal Rumble 2025.

#3. The Rock can cause Cody Rhodes to lose the Undisputed WWE Championship

Cody will be busy at Royal Rumble as he is set to defend the Undisputed Championship against Kevin Owens in a Ladder match. Since superstars won't be disqualified from the match, anything can happen to the challenger and champion.

During the match, Dwayne Johnson can emerge and help The Prizefighter against The American Nightmare to win the Undisputed and Winged Eagle Championship. In this way, Rhodes won't have to put the title on standby during his feud against The Rock and Owens can keep defending it to other stars.

#2. The Rock tricks Cody Rhodes

The Final Boss' actions with Rhodes may have confused fans, but it can also be his strategic way of lowering Cody's guard once the time comes. Interestingly, that time may be during the 2025 Royal Rumble.

At the Premium Live Event, The Brahma Bull can come out and congratulate Rhodes while the latter is celebrating in the ring. However, instead of hugging and congratulating the Undisputed Champion, the Hollywood star would Rock Bottom him instead.

#1. Cody Rhodes faces more problems at the 2025 Royal Rumble

Many believe that Solo Sikoa's plan of taking over The Bloodline and becoming The Tribal Chief is not his sole idea but from The Final Boss himself. Interestingly, this theory can be proven at the upcoming Premium Live Event.

During the match, the New Bloodline can interrupt the match and help Kevin against Cody, like what Owens did for Solo on this week's RAW. The People's Champion can return and act as if he will be on Rhodes' side, but instead attack him as well.
