Rhodes vs. Rollins II is set for WWE WrestleMania Backlash.
Cody Rhodes has agreed to run it back with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania Backlash and this time, Seth Rollins says he will have the advantage because Cody will not have the element of surprise.
Cody Rhodes returned to WWE for the first time in six years at WrestleMania 38 and defeated Seth Rollins, who was frothing at the mouth, looking for a WrestleMania match. This time, Seth Rollins says Cody Rhodes won't have an advantage because there is no longer any shock value to Cody Rhodes being his opponent. Cody Rhodes, who believes that Seth Rollins and he have a great relationship built on respect, is looking forward to another barnburner match.
From WWE:
After making his earth-shattering return to WWE at WrestleMania, Cody Rhodes will once again go head-to-head with “The Visionary” Seth Rollins in a highly anticipated rematch at WrestleMania Backlash.
It was an (American) Dream Match we never knew was coming. At WrestleMania 38, WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon named Rollins’ surprise opponent for The Grandest Stage of Them All to be none other than the returning Rhodes! What followed was a classic showdown between two of the best in the business, with The American Nightmare emerging from the fray with the victory.
The mutual respect between the two Superstars was equal to their mutual skill inside the squared circle, so much so that Rhodes joined “Miz TV” on the April 11 edition of Raw and made it clear he would give The Architect a rematch any time he desired. Later that night, Rollins emerged to throw down the challenge for WrestleMania Backlash, and Rhodes wasted little time accepting.
Don’t miss what is sure to be an instant classic rematch at WrestleMania Backlash, streaming live, Sunday, May 8, at 8 ET/5 PT on Peacock in the United States and WWE Network everything else.
