WWE fans are in for an electrifying showdown as Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes are slated to collide on the upcoming episode of SmackDown, confirmed by WWE.
This sets the stage for the anticipated main event of Night Two at WrestleMania 40, where Rhodes will challenge Reigns for the coveted Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
However, the stakes for this colossal encounter will be determined by the outcome of a mega tag match the night before.
In this showdown, The American Nightmare and Seth Rollins will clash with The Great One and Reigns to determine the match conditions for the main event.
Cody’s path to this title shot was paved by his victory in the Royal Rumble, setting the stage for an epic clash with The Tribal Chief.
Fans eagerly anticipate Reigns’ return to WWE television after his absence from the recent show, where The Rock, the newest addition to The Bloodline, captivated the audience with a memorable concert, taking subtle jabs at Rhodes and Rollins.
Reflecting on WrestleMania 39, where Reigns defended his title against Rhodes in a thrilling main event, memories linger of Solo Sikoa’s interference with a Samoan Spike, enabling Reigns to retain his championship.
Since that heart-wrenching loss, Rhodes has been yearning to “finish the story” and possibly seize one last opportunity to do so in the coming weeks, if The Great One allows it.
On the other hand, Reigns aims to solidify his legacy with an extended reign as the dominant Universal Champion.
As anticipation builds for this clash of titans, fans eagerly await the next chapter in this gripping rivalry, set to unfold on the grand stage of SmackDown.
