The Wrestlemania 40 situation has been amped up in the presence of The Rock over the past several months. The WWE Legend returned to the WWE to challenge his cousin Roman Reigns in a dream matchup of all time.

The Rock then went on to align himself with The Bloodline to gang up against Cody Rhodes while Seth Rollins also joined the scene putting his differences aside with Rhodes to join forces with him so that the heel faction could be handled well en route to Wrestlemania 40.
