Will WWE WrestleMania 40 live up to its hype?

The wrestling world is abuzz with anticipation as WWE WrestleMania 40 draws near, but with the event comes a wave of excitement, controversy, and uncertainty. The recent return of The Rock to WWE television has stirred both fervent anticipation and simmering frustration among fans. Skipping over fan-favorite Cody Rhodes to claim a match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s presence has ignited a storm of emotions within the WWE Universe.

The highly anticipated matchup between The Rock and Roman Reigns promises to be a clash of titans, with both superstars boasting impressive pedigrees and legacies. However, the decision to bypass Cody Rhodes, who has garnered significant support from fans, has left many feeling disillusioned and disenfranchised.

CM Punk out with torn triceps

Adding to the drama is the unfortunate injury suffered by CM Punk during the 2024 men’s Royal Rumble Match. The Straight Edge Superstar’s dreams of main-eventing WrestleMania have been dashed, at least for this year, leaving the WWE Universe dejected.

Despite undergoing surgery and making appearances backstage, Punk’s road to recovery remains uncertain. Reports suggest WWE may opt to utilize Punk in a commentary role until he is fit to return to the ring, but recent on-screen attacks by Drew McIntyre have raised doubts about this strategy.

Brock Lesnar is not going to appear at WrestleMania 40

The wrestling landscape has also been rocked by allegations of sex trafficking against Vince McMahon and WWE, casting a shadow over the company.

The fallout from these allegations has led to the removal of Brock Lesnar from upcoming releases and plans, with WWE distancing itself from the former champion amidst the controversy.

What will happen with Cody Rhodes?

However, despite the tumultuous backdrop, WrestleMania 40 is poised to deliver unforgettable moments. The clash between The Rock and Roman Reigns headlines a stacked card, with potential matches against Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre also on the horizon. Furthermore, the status of Cody Rhodes remains a central focus, with speculation running rampant about his role in the event.
