Things around the Wrestlemania 40 main event segment were stirred up during a press conference, a week ago. There have been controversies regarding the decision made by Triple H regarding the headliner match of the show and it was further addressed after the Chief Content Officer in the WWE appeared on Smackdown to re-affirm the match.
Triple H informed the WWE Universe that the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match winner Cody Rhodes will be challenging the WWE Champion Roman Reigns in the main event of Wrestlemania 40 despite The Rock wanting to be a part of the match. It was also revealed that Seth Rollins’ WrestleMania 40 challenger will be determined in the Elimination Chamber PLE in Australia on February 24 via a series of qualifying matches.
However, The Rock wanted to be a part of the Wrestlemania 40 headliner match and essentially wanted Triple H to fix things up. The big news is that the WWE Champion Roman Reigns and The Rock will also be appearing on the February 16 episode of WWE Smackdown in a rare scene in a WWE ring.
