Rumor killer on The Rock vs Triple H potential match at WWE WrestleMania 40

WWE has been cooking a big storyline rivalry between Roman Reigns, The Rock, Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins for WrestleMania 40. The storyline peaked at WrestleMania 40 Kickoff Press Conference, where Rock turned heel, Cody made his decision and Rock asked Triple H backstage to fix things.

It was reported that Triple H vs Rock is also in the making as a part of the long term storytelling and clash of powers. However, a rumor killer regarding The Rock vs Triple H potential match at WrestleMania 40 has been released.

The Rock vs Triple H at WrestleMania 40?

Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported about an unaired segment which took place at the backstage of WrestleMania 40 Kickoff Press Conference regarding the power struggle storyline between The Rock & Triple H, their nose-to-nose face off leading to a potential WrestleMania 40 match.

Meltzer stated,

“At the Mania press conference on 2/8 in Las Vegas, Levesque talked about guys going into business for themselves, with the idea Rock was going against the planned script. Later they filmed a segment which didn’t air on television, but was all over social media, where Levesque and Rock went nose-to-nose and actually challenged each other for a match at Mania, although it was they would love to each other before a giant crowd at a WrestleMania without the idea it was this specific one.”

However, Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported that there is no truth about the faceoff idea being filmed, stating that it would never happen after Triple H’s heart issues.

Mike Johnson said,

“There is absolutely zero truth to the idea that it was even a film, much less that it’s going to happen. I’m not sure where that started but it seemed as if the alleged verbiage was actually from a faceoff the two had nearly a decade ago for a tease of a bout that never actually happened. There’s not a lot that I would say can never happen in WWE, but Paul Levesque returning for a main event level match after his heart issues – that one I absolutely do not see, especially if people are assuming it based on such a silly report.”
