Cody Rhodes says The Rock is not needed at Wrestlemania – There was a lot of speculation about the return of the Rock at the Royal Rumble of WrestleMania 39. He was one of the top bets for WWE to dethrone Roman Reigns. However, nothing was concrete due to the Brahma Bull’s Hollywood commitments and busy schedule.
And now that Cody Rhodes has won the Royal Rumble and will now face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, there is less chance that the Rock will be seen at the grandest stage of them all.

In a recent interview, Cody Rhodes explained why the WWE doesn’t need the return of the Rock. He feels that the options WWE has on their current roster are better due to the storylines at the moment.
With all the respect in the world to one of the GOATs The Rock, it looks like the options we have here within the roster are even better because of the stories that are happening.
One story about finishing something that started in 1978 – seven years before I was even born – and another story of really the tragedy of being welcomed into the Bloodline and then what you saw unfolds.
I think with the amount of time between now and WrestleMania, it’s important I keep my eyes squarely fixed on WrestleMania, squarely wrestling for the WWE Undisputed Championship and as you hinted that may not be against Roman Reigns.
Now I don’t know if anyone can beat Roman Reigns, I truly don’t, but for me, it’s about picking up the chip. I love the melodrama,I love the heaviness in these stories that develop in our industry, but I am very simply a man who’s looking for a belt.
I’m looking for a championship title belt, the most important one in our world the biggest in all – not just in the WWE bubble but in all the bubbles – and be the first to say as a Rhodes I did it, and it wasn’t Dusty Rhodes and it wasn’t Dustin Rhodes it was Cody Rhodes.”
