Roman Reigns and The Rock made a dramatic exit from the WrestleMania 40 kickoff press conference, setting the stage for an intense confrontation with Cody Rhodes, in which Triple H also became entangled.
During the event, Rhodes provoked both Reigns and The Rock by suggesting that their grandfathers would be ashamed of them. This incendiary remark followed The Tribal Chief’s assertion that The American Nightmare, akin to Dusty Rhodes, was irrelevant.
During these proceedings, Rhodes invoked his right as the men’s Royal Rumble winner to challenge the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion at WrestleMania 40.
Triple H, stepping into the fray, officially sanctioned the match, confirming Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes for the grand event. However, both The Brahma Bull and The Tribal Chief departed the press conference visibly agitated with both Triple H and Cody Rhodes. This tense atmosphere within The Bloodline could be exploited by Triple H to fuel a feud between The Tribal Chief and Solo Sikoa.
A suggested narrative for WrestleMania 40 involves The Rock dispatching Solo Sikoa to assist The Tribal Chief during the main event, creating a sense that The Great One doubts Reigns’ ability to take down Rhodes single-handedly.
This strategic move could lead to The Enforcer taking orders from The Rock over Reigns and potentially looking down on Reigns, especially after The Great One intervened in the press conference confrontation.
Solo Sikoa, who has consistently followed Roman Reigns’ orders and earned the title of Tribal Heir, may find it unsettling to take commands from someone else, potentially sparking a long-anticipated feud between them. Conversely, Sikoa could be growing weary of executing Reigns’ directives and aspire to forge his own path outside The Bloodline, having been a loyal ally since his main roster debut.
As of the latest update, Roman Reigns stands at 999 victories in his WWE career, with the monumental 1000th victory within reach. With a confirmed main event between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, the Tribal Chief is poised to exert every effort to thwart Rhodes from concluding his narrative.
The question looms: Will WrestleMania 40 mark Roman’s 1000th career victory? The answer awaits in the culmination of this highly anticipated showdown.
