The Rock Could Cost Former WWE World Champion a Win at Elimination Chamber

Seth Rollins confronted Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes on Monday’s RAW regarding The Rock’s recent offer. The former World Heavyweight Champion emphasized his past sacrifices to help Rhodes become champion at WrestleMania XL.

During the segment, Rollins positioned himself as the ideal winner of the upcoming Men’s Elimination Chamber match in Toronto. He expressed his desire to face Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, but specifically stated he wants to compete against the version of Rhodes who defeated him multiple times in 2022, not “a soulless shell” of the champion.

Rollins attempted to influence Rhodes’ decision by reminding him of the slap The Rock delivered during last year’s WrestleMania XL Kickoff event. This direct reference to their previous confrontation could potentially impact how Rhodes responds to The Final Boss’s proposition.

The exchange establishes a potential storyline direction where The Rock might interfere in Saturday’s Men’s Elimination Chamber match. Given Rollins’ critical remarks, The Final Boss could potentially cost him the opportunity by playing a role in his elimination.

This high-stakes chamber match features other prominent competitors including CM Punk and John Cena, with the winner earning a championship match against Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. Rhodes must provide his answer to The Rock’s offer at the same premium live event.

The developing tension between Rollins and The Rock adds another layer of intrigue to the already significant Elimination Chamber premium live event and subsequent road to WrestleMania.
