At the WWE WrestleMania XL Kickoff press conference, a shocking turn of events unfolded as The Rock, who had been teasing a WrestleMania 40 main event match against Roman Reigns, unexpectedly turned heel and aligned himself with Reigns. They declared their matchup as the biggest in WrestleMania history, bound by blood.
However, the twist in the tale came when Cody Rhodes, interrupting their family bonding, made a surprising decision that altered their plans. Instead of allowing The Rock to reclaim his WrestleMania main event spot, Cody chose to face Roman Reigns himself. This unexpected move led to chaos, with The Rock slapping Cody in the face.
The official confirmation of the new main event came from Triple H, who posted a graphic on social media, solidifying the matchup between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia on April 6 and April 7.
The situation has left fans with numerous unanswered questions, as The Rock and Seth Rollins are expected to play significant roles in the evolving story over the next two months. The power dynamics involving Corporate Rock could also complicate matters for Cody Rhodes.
As the storyline develops, there is anticipation for changes and further revelations. The upcoming episode of SmackDown on February 9 might provide some clues about the direction this narrative is heading.
For now, supporters of Cody Rhodes can celebrate his official entry into the main event of WrestleMania 40, where he aims to finish his story by challenging Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship.
