Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns' WrestleMania 41 opponents predicted by WWE veteran if they don't clash for the 3rd time

WWE Superstars Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns have locked horns in the main event of Night Two of the last two WrestleManias. There has been speculation about a potential third match between them. However, the legendary Bully Ray has predicted alternative opponents for The American Nightmare and the Original Tribal Chief if Rhodes vs. Reigns III doesn't materialize.

In the 39th edition of The Showcase of The Immortals, Reigns retained his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against the 39-year-old star. However, Rhodes climbed the mountain top again and finished his story by defeating the erstwhile Big Dog for the coveted title at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia.

During a promo package on the Road to Bad Blood 2024, The OTC told The American Nightmare that once he was finished with The Bloodline business, he would set his sights on the Undisputed WWE Title.

In the most recent episode of the Busted Open podcast, the 53-year-old legend addressed fan theories about a potential Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes III match at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.

However, if The American Nightmare does not face The OTC for the third time, Bully Ray predicted that Reigns could face Solo Sikoa for The Head of The Table spot, and Rhodes' opponent could be Jacob Fatu.

"If I were to agree with some people's opinion that Cody [vs.] Roman III would be too soon for 'Mania, and somebody asked me, 'Well, what's your opinion? What do we go with?' Roman and Solo [for] The Head of The Table, [and] Cody [vs.] Jacob Fatu," Ray said. [From 10:51 to 11:09]

Cody Rhodes recently gave Jacob Fatu his first singles pinfall loss in WWE

Ever since The Samoan Werewolf debuted in the Stamford-based promotion, he has been involved only in tag team action on TV. This past week, after Monday Night RAW went off the air, Jacob Fatu faced The American Nightmare in a one-on-one match.

Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa's Enforcer clashed for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in a Philly Street Fight. Despite Fatu's valiant efforts, the 39-year-old star successfully defended his title by nailing three Cross Rhodes on his opponent.

Fans have already witnessed Cody Rhodes vs. Jacob Fatu in a non-televised match. It remains to be seen if WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray's prediction for WrestleMania 41 will come true.
