As WrestleMania 40 approaches, the WWE Universe is buzzing with anticipation for what’s expected to be an epochal clash between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Amidst the grandeur and high stakes, one question looms large: who will stand in Cody Rhodes’ corner to ensure a fair fight against The Tribal Chief and his formidable Bloodline?
While Seth Rollins’ presence as an ally to Rhodes has been speculated, their tumultuous past and unresolved issues from their heated 2022 feud cast a shadow of doubt over this alliance. This opens the door to exploring other WWE Superstars who could provide Rhodes with the support he needs at The Grandest Stage of Them All.
Sami Zayn: The Underdog Who Could Tip the Scales
Sami Zayn’s intricate history with The Bloodline positions him as a compelling figure to be in Rhodes’ corner at WrestleMania 40. Having been both a part of and against The Bloodline, Zayn’s deep understanding of the faction’s dynamics and his own unresolved ambitions to dethrone Reigns could add an intriguing layer to the storyline. Zayn’s alignment with Rhodes would not only reignite his quest for vindication but also solidify an alliance that has shown flashes of camaraderie in their shared battles against The Head of the Table.

Jey Uso: From Within The Enemy’s Camp
The narrative of Jey Uso switching sides to support Cody Rhodes against his own kin is the stuff of wrestling lore. The potential involvement of Jey, especially considering his tumultuous relationship with The Bloodline and his personal connection to Rhodes, could offer a dramatic twist in the tale. This move would symbolize not just a stand against The Bloodline’s dominance but also a testament to the respect and bond formed between Rhodes and Jey at WrestleMania 40.
Randy Orton: The Viper Strikes Back
Randy Orton’s storied career and his history with both Rhodes and The Bloodline make him an intriguing candidate to stand by Rhodes’ side. Their shared legacy, mutual respect, and Orton’s own vendetta against Reigns and his allies provide a narrative rich with history and potential redemption. The Apex Predator’s knack for delivering unexpected RKO’s could prove to be the ace up Rhodes’ sleeve.
CM Punk: The Wild Card at WrestleMania 40
As WrestleMania 40 draws near, the speculation around who will stand in Cody Rhodes’ corner adds an exciting dimension to what is already a highly anticipated match.
The inclusion of CM Punk in Rhodes’ corner would be a wildcard that could unsettle The Bloodline’s strategies. Punk’s historical grievances with Reigns and his affiliation with Paul Heyman at WrestleMania 40 add layers of intrigue and potential for psychological warfare. Punk’s unpredictable nature and his prowess both in and out of the ring could be the disruptor that Rhodes needs to tilt the balance in his favor.
