WWE 2K26 Dream Matches Episode 5 keeps the series rolling with another major CPU vs CPU showdown, this time featuring The Rock vs Cody Rhodes. After the legendary feel of Episode 4, this match brought the series back into a modern marquee-style clash with one of WWE’s biggest current stars facing one of the most iconic names in wrestling history.
From the opening stretch, the match felt tense and competitive. Cody Rhodes had to deal with The Rock’s strength, timing, and experience, while The Rock had to answer for Cody’s speed, counters, and ability to stay in the fight. The turning point looked like it came when Cody landed Cross Rhodes, but The Rock survived and kept the match alive.
That kickout changed the mood immediately. Instead of ending there, the fight pushed deeper into the final stretch and eventually reached a controversial conclusion. That kind of finish actually works well for a Dream Matches series because it gives viewers something to debate after the match is over. It was not just about who won. It became about whether the result settled anything at all.
Episode 5 fits the series well because it expands beyond the Bloodline-heavy opening episodes while keeping the same big-fight feel. The Rock vs Cody Rhodes feels like a natural Dream Match pairing and leaves room for future rematches or related matchups later in the playlist.
Winner: Cody Rhodes
Match theme: CPU vs CPU Dream Match with a controversial finish
If this one gets a rematch later, it could become one of the most interesting recurring matchups in the series.
