As the curtains rise on WrestleMania 40, fans eagerly anticipate a thrilling collision between two wrestling legends: The Rock and Roman Reigns, as they take on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in what promises to be a truly epic encounter.
Speculation runs rampant about a potential betrayal within the ring, with whispers suggesting that The Brahma Bull might turn against The Tribal Chief during the event.
However, contrary to these rumors, it may be Reigns, the nine-time champion, who shocks the world by betraying The Rock instead.

In recent weeks, The Rock’s return to the WWE stage has cast a shadow over Reigns, stealing the spotlight and leaving the former Big Dog hungry to reclaim his dominance.
Despite Reigns’ status as the current face of WWE, he finds himself eclipsed by The Great One’s presence, prompting him to seek redemption by asserting his authority over The Rock at the upcoming April spectacle.
Since his resurgence, Reigns has held the Universal Champion title since 2020, besting formidable opponents including John Cena, Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, and a slew of other wrestling titans.
Yet, even amongst these luminaries, The Rock stands as one of the most iconic figures in WWE history.
A decisive victory over him at WrestleMania 40 would solidify Reigns’ claim as the ultimate force in the wrestling world, showcasing his unparalleled dominance over the roster.
Furthermore, such a showdown would not only serve as a clash of titans but also potentially pave the way for a future dream match between The High Chief and The Tribal Chief.
While this year’s WrestleMania may not see the long-awaited showdown between Reigns and The Rock, a strategic move by Reigns to betray his adversary could lay the groundwork for an even more monumental battle down the line.
As fans around the globe eagerly await the spectacle that WrestleMania 40 promises to be, the stage is set for an unforgettable clash between two of wrestling’s greatest icons, with the potential for even greater battles yet to come.
