The Royal Rumble Winner’s Decision
The anticipation for WrestleMania 40 reached a fever pitch as Cody Rhodes, the 2024 Royal Rumble victor, made a monumental announcement. Amidst fervent fan support and the trending #WeWantCody movement on social media, Rhodes seized the spotlight to reveal his WrestleMania 40 opponent.
Rhodes’ Bold Declaration
In a bold move that reverberated through the wrestling world, Cody Rhodes interrupted the proceedings at the WrestleMania XL Kickoff Press Show. Despite the looming clash between The Rock and Roman Reigns, Rhodes unapologetically declared his intentions. With unwavering resolve, he chose to face the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns, at WrestleMania 40.
The Rock’s Reaction
While Rhodes’ decision stirred excitement among fans, it wasn’t without its repercussions. The Rock, initially slated to battle Reigns at WrestleMania 40, expressed his displeasure backstage.

Amidst the buzz surrounding Rhodes’ clash with Reigns, controversy brewed within WWE circles. Reports emerged of discontent surrounding the reshuffling of WrestleMania 40’s headline match. Despite WWE’s insistence on maintaining The Rock vs. Reigns as the main event, Rhodes’ bold maneuver threatens to disrupt their plans.
Uncertain Future
As tensions escalate and backstage drama unfolds, the landscape of WrestleMania 40 remains uncertain. While Rhodes vs. Reigns is now set in stone, lingering animosity and conflicting agendas cast a shadow over the event’s marquee matchups. With The Rock’s involvement hanging in the balance, WrestleMania 40 promises to be a spectacle filled with surprises and high-stakes drama.
