Cody Rhodes has revealed on Good Morning Britain that he is confident that he will have a one-on-one match against WWE legend The Rock in the future.
In an interview with GMB on Friday, Rhodes said he believes they will face each other down the road, revealing what it would take to lure The Rock back into action.

The pair were involved in a rivalry going into WrestleMania 40, with The Rock pinning Rhodes on night one in a tag team match which also involved Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins

When asked if a match with the Hollywood actor will take place, Rhodes said: ‘I want to say yes. I think what it will come down to, can I be a good champion or a great champion.
‘Roman Reigns was a great champion and will that be enough to entice The Rock because that’s what’s happening here.
‘Rock will tell you he made wrestling cool again. Rock maybe made wrestling cool in the first place but this run it’s a whole new generation, a whole new locker room.
‘Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, myself, Rhea Ripley, all these people. The more we keep this the better we do, the more chances, it lures The Rock back into the fray.’
The WWE is currently on a tour of the United Kingdom in which Rhodes has been in action.
Following a victory over Shinsuke Nakamura in Birmingham on Wednesday, Rhodes repeated previous calls from John Cena for Wrestlemania to take place in the United Kingdom in the future.
He said: ‘ “Tonight [in Birmingham], sold out; Cardiff, sold out; Belfast, sold out; London, sold out.
“If anybody deserves anything, I’m going to echo John Cena saying the United Kingdom deserves a WrestleMania.’

The WWE will be holding Clash at the Castle in Scotland in June, following the success of the premium live event when it was held in Cardiff two years ago.
Before then, Rhodes will be facing the winner out of a match involving AJ Styles and LA Knight at Backlash which takes place in France next month.
