Lex Luger Prefers Cody Rhodes, Unsure If WWE Can Reject The Rock – Lex Luger recently shared his admiration for Cody Rhodes and expressed a desire to see Cody dethrone Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 40. However, Luger acknowledged the potential roadblock posed by The Rock’s return to WWE.
In the latest episode of his Lex Expressed podcast, Luger commented on The Rock’s potential return, noting that while he sees Cody as the ideal top babyface in WWE, the allure of having The Rock back in the wrestling ring might be too enticing for WWE to overlook.
“Cody, I think he’s so deserving of getting that shot again,” said Lex. “Maybe I am biased. I love Cody. I really love his work. I love everything about him. I think he’d be a great babyface Champion that could carry them for many years. Then again, with TKO now involved in the decision-making process, can you turn down The Rock?
“I think Cody should be the guy. Me personally, my personal preference, I think [Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns at WWE WrestleMania 40] would be an amazing matchup, rematch,” Lex continues. “If The Rock says he wants to come to WrestleMania and wrestle Roman, almost as a company — he’s a global superstar, not just in wrestling, but a global pop culture movie star. So, I can’t imagine the people in charge now saying, ‘Well, thanks but no thanks, Rock.’ So I think that it’s really going to be in The Rock’s hands almost when you think about it.”
Luger also mentioned The Rock’s age and the reality that he might not ever do this again because he doesn’t have to wrestle if he doesn’t want to.
“Depending on what he wants to do, if he wants to do one and get back in the ring because he’s not a spring chicken anymore. he’s past 50 now, right? He doesn’t have to wrestle anymore if he doesn’t want to. So, to get in shape, risk an injury, and do a bell-to-bell match when he hasn’t done that in such a long time. it’s a big deal for a guy like that. I know he likes everything to be tip-top. He’ll want to be in tip-top shape. So, if he wants to do it, I can’t see them saying no. It’s in his hands.”
