WrestleMania 40 is generating unparalleled excitement as it gears up to be the biggest event in the history of the sport. Amidst the anticipation, there’s speculation whether Triple H, in orchestrating what promises to be the greatest main event in WrestleMania history, may have made a significant sacrifice involving a top WWE Superstar – Seth Rollins.
Seth Rollins has successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship for almost a year, triumphing over a series of formidable opponents on Monday Night RAW and various premium live events.
However, the dynamics shifted with The Rock’s return and Rollins challenging Cody Rhodes to face him. The verbal sparring between Roman Reigns and The Visionary has been intense, evident in their in-ring segment on WWE SmackDown and the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff Press Event.
After Cody Rhodes chose to face Roman Reigns, The Tribal Chief urged The American Nightmare to shift focus toward the ‘number 2’s’ or the ‘loser bracket,’ alluding to the World Heavyweight Champion. In the Press Event’s segment, Rollins stood on the sidelines while Reigns, The Rock, and Rhodes engaged in verbal jousting.
Triple H, in crafting a colossal narrative involving The Rock, Reigns, and Rhodes, may need to ensure Seth Rollins remains an active part of the storyline. Rollins’ alignment with Rhodes at the end of the Press Conference suggests he might play a significant role in the unfolding narrative.
The drama at the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff Press Event spilled backstage, escalating tensions between The Rock, Roman Reigns, and Triple H. Cody Rhodes’ claim that The Rock’s grandfather, the late Peter Maivia, would be ashamed of Reigns prompted The Rock to slap Rhodes, sparking chaos.
In a backstage conversation with Triple H after the event, The Rock voiced his dissatisfaction, stating, “If you don’t fix it, we will. Have him talk s**t about our family again, I’ll slap his f*****g teeth out of his mouth.”
The current main event for WrestleMania 40 is set, with Roman Reigns defending his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes. However, in the dynamic world of WWE, surprises are never off the table. As WrestleMania 40 approaches, the company is poised to deliver a groundbreaking event, capturing the essence of wrestling’s golden era.
