Just like that, the Brahma Bull is heading horn first into WrestleMania 40 against the Head of the Table.
The much-anticipated clash between Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Roman Reigns seems all but confirmed. This potential blockbuster confrontation has been brewing for some time, with recent events on WWE SmackDown adding fuel to the speculative fire that fans and insiders alike have been stoking.
On a recent episode of WWE SmackDown, Cody Rhodes, the reigning Royal Rumble winner, made a significant announcement that instead of choosing to face Roman Reigns in April for the Undisputed Universal Championship at WrestleMania, he hinted at a different matchup. The segment culminated in Rhodes revealing he had sought advice from someone very close to Reigns, leading to The Rock's dramatic entrance. The Rock, a WWE legend and Hollywood superstar, shared a brief but poignant moment with Rhodes before turning his attention to a familiar face in Reigns. Blood relatives in real life, the show concluded with a tense stare-down between The Rock and Reigns, without a word exchanged, setting the stage for a potential showdown at WrestleMania 40.
The Rock's involvement in WWE has been a topic of intense speculation and excitement. His recent appearance on SmackDown, coupled with his new role on the board of directors for TKO Group Holdings, the company resulting from the WWE-UFC merger, has only intensified discussions about his return to the ring. Despite no official match announcement during the SmackDown segment, the implication is clear - it's The Rock vs The Reigns in either Night 1 or Night 2 of WrestleMania 40.
