WWE is putting all the effort into making Wrestlemania 40 a show that will be remembered for a long time. Coming out of the previously stagnant Vince McMahon-regime, things are very different in the management, right now.
Roman Reigns has reached new heights with his incredible Undisputed WWE Championship reign over the past couple of years. Since his return to the company at Summerslam 2020, The Head of the Table has captivated the WWE like nothing else and the gimmick was solidified with amazing victories and challenges in his career. So, he’s rightly main-eventing Wrestlemania 40.
In a rematch from last year, Roman Reigns will be challenged by Cody Rhodes in the headliner match for the WWE Championship on Night Two. But before this match, Roman will also team up with The Rock on the Night One main event of Wrestlemania 40 to take on the team of Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
Wrestlemania 40 Main-Eventer Signs New Contract Ahead Of WWE PLE
There are huge possibilities that Rhodes will eventually win the WWE and finish his story but that might end the era of the Tribal Chief. WWE recently released the A&E Biography: WWE Legends episode for Roman Reigns where he hinted at retirement following his loss at Wrestlemania 40.
The Tribal Chief stated that he wouldn’t stay any longer in the WWE if he wasn’t the top guy in the company with the title around his shoulder. Also in the interview, he appealed to the fans to cherish the beautiful moments as a champion because he might not continue his WWE run after losing the title at Wrestlemania 40,
“You guys better cherish these moments cause once I lose the WWE Undisputed championship, I’m calling it quits.”
