Did WWE intentionally drop an easter egg about Cody Rhodes’ plans at WrestleMania 41? Exploring potential clue

WWE has recently released another video package for WrestleMania 41 featuring big names like Roman Reigns and John Cena. In addition, a poster for next year's Showcase of Immortals has also been revealed, which fans all over the internet love.

This poster features notable names, including Cody Rhodes, Cena, Reigns, Gunther, and Rhea Ripley. Amid this, it appears that WWE has intentionally dropped an Easter egg regarding the American Nightmare's plans at WrestleMania 41. In this poster, he is shown with the Undisputed WWE Championship around his waist, while the other current champions are not advertised with their titles.

This has led many to believe that the Stamford-based promotion hints that Rhodes could be the star who retains his championship until next year's 'Mania. Cody is set to clash against Gunther at Crown Jewel 2024 in the inaugural Crown Jewel Championship match. Afterward, Triple H and the creative team might resume his full-fledged feud against Kevin Owens at Survivor Series: WarGames.

Additionally, many consider that Randy Orton might soon show his true colors and turn his back on Rhodes, leading to a match. Despite all this, it could be an interesting choice if the company advertises Rhodes as a champion while not featuring the other current champions.

That said, merely being portrayed as a champion in a future premium live event poster does not signify concrete plans. Still, it could be an Easter egg hinting at Cody Rhodes walking into WrestleMania next year as your Undisputed WWE Champion.

Who is Cody Rhodes expected to face at WWE WrestleMania 41?

Although we are still quite far away from WrestleMania 41, one of the favored names for Cody Rhodes's opponent is The Rock. The Final Boss and the American Nightmare have unfinished business, as The People's Champion confronted Rhodes on RAW after WrestleMania this year.

Additionally, at Bad Blood 2024, The Rock confronts Reigns and Rhodes after their match regarding Bloodline 2.0. Considering this, the Hollywood star seems like a realistic choice for Rhodes's opponent at next year's Showcase of Immortals.

Besides this, Roman Reigns is an ideal candidate to face Rhodes in a trilogy at WrestleMania. However, this situation is only possible if Roman faces Solo Sikoa in a singles match before next year's Mania.
