According to the Wrestling Observer, Cody Rhodes is set to headline Night 1 of WrestleMania 42, where he will challenge Drew McIntyre for the title. Jacob Fatu could also be added to the contest, making it a Triple Threat Match in the process.

Rhodes and McIntyre have crossed paths on multiple occasions since 2025, with The American Nightmare successfully retaining the Undisputed WWE Championship against the current champion.

Cody Rhodes opened up about losing at the Allegiant Stadium at WrestleMania 41

Cody Rhodes lost to John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania 41, with Cena becoming a 17-time WWE World Champion.

Speaking on Grave Conversations, The American Nightmare reflected on his loss in Las Vegas last year. He said:

“Well, I mean, for me, the thing that’s always made me feel most alive and now more than ever, really just the fire is not even close to being out. I love pro wrestling. I love sports entertainment. I love WWE. The fact that we’re heading towards WrestleMania again in Las Vegas, and the idea that I lost at Allegiant Stadium. You’ve got 50 to 80,000 people at these events two nights in a row. To perform in stadiums as a wrestler who watched you I talking about my first match in front of maybe you know generously 60 people to be in front of stadiums,”

Cody Rhodes will have the opportunity to regain the Undisputed WWE Title at WrestleMania 42 if he challenges for it.
