Roman Reigns Favored in Potential WrestleMania 42 Match with Cody Rhodes – With WWE Survivor Series now behind us, attention has fully shifted toward the long build to WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. One of the biggest topics emerging from the fallout is the likelihood of a third WrestleMania showdown between Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. Early signs suggest that WWE may be moving in that direction, and the betting markets are already reflecting that possibility.
The seeds for a trilogy were planted before Survivor Series, when Reigns stated that one of the world titles held by Rhodes or CM Punk would look good on his shoulder. At WarGames on November 29, Reigns shook Punk’s hand following their team’s loss, acknowledging him with a rare sign of respect. Rhodes, however, received a different response. Reigns walked right past him and made it clear that WarGames 2025 would be the last time they would ever stand on the same side. Many fans interpreted the remark as a pointed message aimed directly at “The American Nightmare,” hinting at unfinished business between the two.
Following the event, BetOnline opened an early betting line for a potential WrestleMania 42 match between Rhodes and Reigns. If the match takes place, Reigns is the early favorite to win and reclaim the Undisputed WWE Championship, carrying a 66.7% implied probability. Rhodes sits at +150, while Reigns comes in at -200. BetOnline specifies that the match must occur at WrestleMania for the action to stand.
Opening line:
Cody Rhodes (c) +150 (3/2)
Roman Reigns -200 (1/2)
Reigns also leads the early odds for the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble match. Winning the Rumble would once again give him the right to challenge for any championship at WrestleMania. Bron Breakker and Seth Rollins currently follow him in the odds.
WrestleMania 42 will take place across two nights, April 18 and April 19, in Las Vegas.
