WrestleMania XL concluded with a bang, and fans witnessed ‘The American Nightmare’ Cody Rhodes finally finish his story. At the end of the night, Rhodes was able to defeat Roman Reigns, despite all the interferences. While Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Solo Sikoa, and Jimmy Uso tried to help Reigns, one name was missing from the scene.

Reigns, Johnson’s cousin, and former MLW wrestler Jacob Fatu were reported earlier that night to have signed a new deal with WWE. While it raised speculations about his WrestleMania debut, unfortunately, that did not happen. However, there seems to be some good news now.

In his Newsletter, Dave Meltzer recently reported that WWE has signed Jacob Fatu, and the former MLW wrestler might be in for a massive push down the road. However, it failed to mention if Fatu will start directly on the main-roster, or have a similar journey as Solo Sikoa.

Fatu showcases one of the most impressive indie careers, and it is to be seen how WWE decides to treat and push him. Reigns’ other cousin, Solo Sikoa, also entered WWE through the Indies and was bestowed with an incredible push early on in his career.

With Cody Rhodes as the champion now, fans are kept guessing what might be next for him. The Bloodline is now left without their tribal chief, and fans wonder what might be next for Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa.

Is WWE planning Cody Rhodes vs. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson at WrestleMania 41?

On Raw after ‘Mania, a major feud was teased between Rhodes and The Rock. In the opening segment of the show, The Rock would come out and confront Rhodes. However, instead of indulging in a heated battle, the two would exchange words.

The Brahma Bull of WWE would lay off Rhodes with a message. He would inform that when Johnson returns, whether he would be going after Rhodes, and if he has gold or not. Speaking on his podcast, Dave Meltzer suggested that this collision of the stars might take place at WrestleMania 41.

He further suggested that The Rock vs Roman Reigns could also take place at WrestleMania 42, depending on their health.
