Cody Rhodes won 2024 WWE Royal Rumble. Ever since then it was assumed that Cody Rhodes versus Roman Reigns is confirmed, but shockingly Cody Rhodes says he will be coming after Roman Reigns but not at WrestleMania 40.
Cody Rhodes introduces someone familiar to Roman Reigns, that was none other than Roman’ cousin Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. It seems like WWE are going for The Rock vs Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.
Roman Reigns and The Rock had a staredown. They did not say anything to each other. It would be interesting to see who Cody Rhodes will face. Even after winning the Rumble he’s not able to choose his opponent.
CM Punk is injured, Brock might not return anytime soon or maybe never, and also lots of large media outlets are covering allegations against Vince McMahon. So WWE might not have had any other options than Rock vs Roman Reigns.
