WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes has opened up and revealed CM Punk as his dream match opponent.<\/a><\/p>\n

Following his win at WWE WrestleMania 42, fans saw Cody Rhodes in a segment with CM Punk on the April 20 episode of Monday Night RAW. The segment saw Punk tease a title match against Rhodes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recently speaking to ESPN, Rhodes opened up and named<\/a> himself vs. Punk as his dream match.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll-time dream match \u2013 I think fans think might happen, but I think is very hard to put together \u2013 I will use myself in this example, but a dream match that I\u2019d like to be part of is probably myself versus CM Punk,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

However, he further opened up and questioned the chances of WWE making the match happen. \u201cThe likelihood of it happening, who knows? Wrestling has gotten more\u2026 it\u2019s difficult. We\u2019re collaborators these days, so it\u2019s difficult. I don\u2019t know if he\u2019d want that, and I don\u2019t even know if I\u2019d want it. But I know it would just be really great and be very good for wrestling,\u201d he finished.<\/p>\n

At WrestleMania 42, while Rhodes retained his title over Randy Orton, fans saw Punk lose his World Heavyweight Championship to Roman Reigns in a highly acclaimed match. The buildup to the 2026 WrestleMania saw Punk and Rhodes interact several times, although it is still unknown if WWE plans to have them face each other.<\/p>\n
