At WrestleMania 38, Seth Rollins had no chance to know who he was facing. He had an opponent hand picked by Vince McMahon himself, and it was Cody Rhodes – fresh off major a run in AEW. Rhodes helped to build a new wrestling empire, but now is back to claim the WWE Championship. However now, Rollins has had a chance to figure out this new and improved version of Rhodes, and has called for a rematch. Rhodes accepted, and they will look to steal the show once again.

Rollins was cocky after a few wins early here, and Rhodes would fire up and look to beat him down. Rhodes would get a few strikes in, before Rollins ran Rhodes from the ring. Rollins would see Rhodes on the apron, and was able to nail a big running knee strike. On the floor, a lariat from Rollins kept Rhodes down, before in the ring he’d apply a neck crank.
Rhodes was able to fight free, and would go for a delayed suplex, dropping Rollins face first before nailing Disaster Kick. Rollins would beg off, but Rhodes would respond with punches to the head. Disaster Kick was set up a second time, but Rollins blocked and shoved Rhodes to the floor.
