The road to WrestleMania 40 has taken a sharp turn with the unexpected alliance of The Rock and Roman Reigns, throwing the entire landscape into chaos.
Cody Rhodes, determined to finally settle his score with The Tribal Chief, stands firm, backed by Seth Rollins. But will another heavyweight enter the fight, throwing a wrench into this already explosive storyline?
The name that sparks speculation: Brock Lesnar. His 2002 SummerSlam victory over The Rock, marking his first WWE Championship win, remains etched in history. While Lesnar’s connection to Rhodes culminated in a “torch passing” moment after SummerSlam 2022, recent controversies seem to have nixed his return. Reports point towards scrapped WrestleMania plans for Lesnar, dimming the hopes of him joining the fray.
Yet, the question remains: will someone else stand with Rhodes against The Rock and Reigns? Rollins’ support is a start, but the odds against them appear daunting.

The situation is further complicated by The Rock’s recent social media taunts, mocking both Rhodes and his fans. He even declared, “You fu*ked around and found out quick, didn’t you boy?
You, your little friends, and all your crybabies have no idea what’s coming.” This raises the stakes even higher, with the upcoming SmackDown featuring both Rock and Reigns set to be a pivotal moment.
While Lesnar’s absence seems likely, his potential involvement highlights the allure of a surprise factor. The narrative possibilities are endless, keeping fans guessing and speculation running wild.
Ultimately, WrestleMania 40 promises an epic clash. Whether Rhodes stands solo, gets support from Rollins, or sees an unexpected ally emerge, one thing is certain: this unpredictable battle for supremacy will captivate the WWE Universe.
Will it be a triumphant victory for the American Nightmare, or will The Rock and Reigns’ dominance reign supreme? The answer lies within the squared circle,
