Cody Rhodes might get enticed by The Rock's offer and choose to accept it at the WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 event.
Cody Rhodes has been a remarkable, Undisputed WWE Champion for almost a year. It has been noticed by every member of the WWE Universe, but unknown to all until now, The Rock was also paying close attention to his title reign. This led to The Final Boss returning to SmackDown last week and extending a lucrative offer to become his champion and take his career to the same level as The Rock.
With Cody Rhodes asked to deliver his answer to The Rock at the WWE Elimination Chamber 2025, here are the three reasons Cody Rhodes would be enticed to accept his offer:

3. Cody Rhodes has already shown signs of a heel

The WWE Universe might have missed it, but the babyface and fan favorite Cody Rhodes has already dropped multiple signs of a heel turn over the last few months. The first was witnessed at the WWE Saturday Night's Main Event in December 2024 in his match against Kevin Owens when he picked up a controversial win by delivering the Cross Rhodes on him on a steel chair. He showed his remorseful side even in their ladder match at the Royal Rumble 2025 PLE and had no sympathy for beating down KO. This could have been the early signs of his heel turn, which would have been triggered by his accepting The Rock's offer at Elimination Chamber.

2. Greed to reach bigger heights of success

As The Rock mentioned, Cody Rhodes has achieved immense success in his WWE career. But it is nowhere close to the worldwide fame commanded by The Final Boss. The Rock made it clear that Rhodes can have those same opportunities if he sells his soul to him. In the greed to claim more success and, as The Rock said, secure the future of his family, Cody Rhodes might just accept his offer.

1. Homelander vs Cenation Leader storyline for WrestleMania 41

It is heavily rumored that John Cena is set to win the 2025 Men's Elimination Chamber match. In doing so, he will earn the opportunity to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41. With Cena on his farewell tour, he has been garnering huge positive reactions. This makes it a perfect scenario for Cody Rhodes to turn heel in their feud by becoming The Rock's Corporate Champion against the babyface Cena, making it more intriguing on the road to Las Vegas.
