Cody Rhodes has held the Undisputed WWE Championship since WrestleMania XL. However, a wrestling veteran thinks he could lose the title to Solo Sikoa following interference from a returning legend.
The legend in question is none other than The Rock. The Final Boss had a heated feud with The American Nightmare heading into this year's Show of Shows. On Night One of WrestleMania XL, the Hollywood megastar pinned Rhodes to earn the victory for him and Roman Reigns over the current champion and Seth Rollins. Although he failed to help The Tribal Chief retain the title the following night, The People's Champion later confronted Rhodes on RAW and promised to go after him upon his return from hiatus.
Speaking on The Last Word, wrestling veteran Jonathan Coachman pointed out that The Rock has recently ended filming a movie, claiming the 52-year-old could be "around" heading into SummerSlam. The former Interim RAW General Manager urged WWE to sneak The Final Boss into the arena in Cleveland, stating that it would be a "big deal" if both The Rock and Reigns appeared at SummerSlam. Meanwhile, Coachman also addressed a fan's suggestion that The Rock could return to help Sikoa end Rhodes' title reign:
"[What if The Rock shows up at SummerSlam to aid Solo to win the Undisputed Title?] This could be the ultimate of all time," he said. [From 35:26 to 35:34]

Ex-WWE employee thinks The Rock's ego could lead him to return at SummerSlam
Jonathan Coachman's co-host, former WWE employee Tommy Carlucci, also commented on the possibility of The Rock returning at SummerSlam after finishing his Hollywood commitments. He claimed The Final Boss' ego would not allow him to miss the chance of appearing in front of 60,000 fans.
Carlucci, who spent over 30 years in the company, stated that Creative would re-write the whole show if The Rock told them he was returning:
"I'm like, okay, he finishes the movie. He's got time off. You don't think he wants to, especially with his little ego, not be in front of 60,000 fans? Give me a break. I mean, if he finished on Friday, he'd call Nick Khan saying, I'm coming,' they rewrite that f***ing show just for him, man," he said. [From 35:02 to 35:22]
While Carlucci is seemingly excited about the possibility of seeing The Rock back at SummerSlam, he has no doubts that Roman Reigns will return at the premium live event. It would be interesting to see if the two massive WWE Superstars will appear in Cleveland this Saturday.
