WrestleMania 28 Cody Rhodes v The Big Show < br > Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes will have to back up his words on April 1 in Miami . On that day , he ’ ll find out if Big Show truly is a WrestleMania bust - as he has professed time and time again - when he attempts to defend his illustrious title against the angry giant on The Grandest Stage of Them All . For weeks , Rhodes has taunted Big Show over his win / loss record at The Show of Shows . He dubbed the giant the “ Reverse Undertaker , ” going on to ridicule several of the former World Heavyweight Champion ' s matches . He mocked Show ' s Sumo Match loss to grand champion Akebono at WrestleMania 21 , as well as his defeat at the hands of Floyd “ Money ” Mayweather , one of the best pound - for - pound boxers in the world , at WrestleMania 24 . For the past two months , Big Show has been focused on regaining the World Heavyweight Championship that he held for 90 seconds at in December . Rhodes effectively ended The World ’ s Largest Athlete ’ s title hopes when he pinned the giant inside the Elimination Chamber . According to his outspoken adversary , Show blames him for not recapturing the championship gold . Rhodes , on the other hand , interpreted this event as saving Show from further floundering at The Showcase of the Immortals , fueling the fire for their impending showdown once SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long made it official on the Mar . 2 edition of SmackDown . The giant now has his sights set on teaching Rhodes a lesson in Miami . But , something heavier is weighing on Big Show ’ s mind as WrestleMania approaches . Although he holds countless accolades in his incredible WWE career , the larger - than - life Superstar only has three wins on The Grandest Stage of Them All – none of them in singles competition . That being said , April 1 could be his best chance at creating his ultimate WrestleMania moment , the singular image of him that will last through the ages . The giant has the opportunity to perhaps prove that his 3 - 8 record on The Grandest Stage of Them All is meaningless , that he should be judged by his entire body of work , which includes multiple World Championships , Tag Team Titles and , if he has his way , Rhodes ' Intercontinental Title . Rhodes also has his reasons for wanting to make Big Show look like an " April fool . " He celebrated day 200 as Intercontinental Champion with the coming of March , surpassing the iconic Shawn Michaels . The second - generation grappler has made it clear he wants to become the first Superstar to hold the Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Titles at the same time . If he can make it past The World ’ s Largest Athlete , he will be champion for 234 days and could be considered a top contender to face either Sheamus or Daniel Bryan after their WrestleMania clash comes to a close . In addition , he wants to add to his own legacy at The Show of Shows . Rhodes defeated Rey Mysterio last year , and a win over Big Show would be quite the notch in his belt . The Intercontinental Championship isn ’ t the only thing at stake at WrestleMania XXVIII . There are major implications for Big Show ’ s legacy and Cody Rhodes ’ quest for superstardom as they prepare for battle on April 1 in Miami . The World ’ s Largest Athlete will look to erase his past failures with a championship victory , while Rhodes will try to embarrass the giant once more and establish himself as a top Superstar . Who will have their name etched in history as a victor on The Grandest Stage of Them All ?
