On February 8, 2024, the WWE is set to host a crucial press event in Las Vegas, Nevada, marking the kickoff for WrestleMania 40. This event holds significant importance as it promises to provide clarity on the status of marquee stars, including Roman Reigns, The Rock, Cody Rhodes, and Seth Rollins.
The recent face-off between The Rock and Roman Reigns on SmackDown stirred controversy, with fans expressing dissatisfaction over The Rock potentially taking Cody Rhodes’ main event spot at WrestleMania 40. To address these concerns, WWE clarified that Cody Rhodes has yet to choose an opponent, and the press event in Las Vegas will likely provide insight into Roman Reigns’ status for the upcoming event.
Seth Rollins, the current World Heavyweight Champion, has also garnered attention from Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes. The press event could shed light on Rollins’ WrestleMania 40 plans and reveal who he will defend his title against.
Moreover, the press event is anticipated to offer more clarity on the overall WrestleMania 40 card, potentially unveiling main events for both nights and announcing additional matches involving marquee superstars. This strategic move aims to generate excitement among fans and set the stage for engaging storylines leading up to the grand event.
Dave Meltzer, in a recent Wrestling Observer Radio podcast, hinted that the press event’s conclusion would provide answers regarding WrestleMania 40, with the status of Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and The Rock becoming crystal clear. While he dismissed the possibility of a Triple Threat Match, Meltzer suggested that Roman Reigns might wrestle on both nights.
The anticipation surrounding the press event is high, as both The Rock and Roman Reigns have touched down in Las Vegas. The Rock hinted that the press conference would be talked about for a long time, emphasizing his long-term perspective.
Meanwhile, The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, asserted that the arrival of the only significant player had taken place. The press event is poised to set the stage for an exciting and eventful Road to WrestleMania 40.
