Major update on WWE WrestleMania 40 plans; The Rock vs Roman Reigns; Cody Rhodes out of picture

Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns were involved in a rivalry for over a year and had a great match at WrestleMania 39, where Cody came short of dethroning Roman Reigns and becoming the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Cody didn’t receive the rematch and fought so hard to get near Roman Reigns.

Cody won the Royal Rumble match back to back and pointed out Roman and WrestleMania sign after winning to challenge him for the Championship rematch at WrestleMania 40. However, things changed within a week as Cody was taken away from the WrestleMania 40 main-event and Rock took his spot.

The Rock vs Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40

On the latest episode of SmackDown, Roman Reigns came out to the ring and teased Seth Rollins for being a work-horse and broke his knee. Roman made fun of Rollins stating that he is wearing Becky Lynch’s dress, showing up ten time more than him and still earn less than him. Roman claimed that he is the A-Champion and called out CodY.

Cody came to the ring and told Roman Reigns that he wants the title that Roman holds as it was the one Bruno Sammartino held and that his dad won at Madison Square Garden, but was taken away soon. Cody says that “finishing the story” not only means winning the title but also taking everything from Roman. He said that he is coming for Roman and the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, but not at WrestleMania 40.

As the fans got confused, Cody said that he had heard from his friends, family, and veterans about his decision. And finally heard from a special council, who knows Roman Reigns very well and it was found out to be The Rock.

Rock came out, shook hands with Cody, hugged him and had a deep stare with Roman. This is speculated to be the main event of WrestleMania 40, however WWE hasn’t announced it officially. Since, this being on the rumored card and based on Cody’s announcement most wonder what’s the future of Cody. Will he be challenging Seth Rollins at WrestleMania or will he be using his guaranteed title shot at Elimination Chamber 2024?
