Cody Rhodes recently threw down the gauntlet, challenging The Rock to a one-on-one showdown. However, the wrestling legend opted for a different route, suggesting a tag team clash involving Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.
On a recent episode of Tonight with Jimmy Fallon, another wrestling icon, John Cena, hinted at the possibility of facing off against The Great One.
Anticipation is mounting as The Rock is slated to grace the next two episodes of WWE SmackDown on the road to WrestleMania 40. It seems he’ll be teaming up with Roman Reigns to take on the formidable duo of Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
The stakes are high: if Rhodes and Rollins emerge victorious, there’ll be no interference from the Bloodline during Night Two’s main event.
Conversely, a win for Roman and The Rock would set the stage for a Bloodline rules match, though the specifics of such a match remain shrouded in mystery.
During his appearance on Tonight with Jimmy Fallon, John Cena kept the suspense alive, initially claiming ignorance about the prospect of a third match against The Rock, much to the chagrin of the audience. However, he subtly hinted at his availability for WrestleMania 40.
“WrestleMania 40 – They’re going to keep talking until it happens, we don’t know yet. That was not satisfactory. We just took the wind out of here. Do you want me to make a promise I can’t keep? You want me to write a cheque I can’t cash?”
He then dropped a tantalizing hint, indicating his availability on the days of WrestleMania 40.
“I know exactly where it is. I’m free that day. I’m just saying.”

This sets the stage for an electrifying showdown, with both Cody Rhodes and The Rock sharing the spotlight on WWE SmackDown. It marks the first time they’ll be in the same arena since the WrestleMania XL Kickoff press event in Las Vegas.
While Rhodes and Rollins have yet to formally respond to The Rock’s challenge, they’re set to confront The Bloodline on WWE SmackDown, fully aware of the odds stacked against them.
Despite facing the daunting numbers game, Rhodes and Rollins remain undeterred. Fans eagerly anticipate the official announcement of the Night One main event for WrestleMania 40, expected to unfold during this week’s WWE SmackDown.
