Rhodes' road to WrestleMania has been quite a wild ride so far. He left fans speechless when he refused to challenge Roman Reigns to a 'Mania encounter last week. The WWE Universe has wanted to see him "finish the story" for a long time. Cody's replacement, The Rock, is being showered with boos, be it on live shows on social media.

Now that Rhodes has picked up another huge win, it remains to be seen what's next for him. It certainly won't sit well with fans if he doesn't get featured in the main event of WrestleMania 40.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
