Triple H has officially confirmed that Cody Rhodes will be facing off against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
This announcement came during an electrifying opening segment on the February 9 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, where Triple H, who remains WWE's creative head, flanked by Raw and SmackDown general managers, Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis, respectively, talked about the outcomes of the recent WrestleMania Kickoff press conference. This declaration has ignited anticipation among WWE fans, promising a high-stakes rematch that has been brewing since last year's WrestleMania.
The press conference in Las Vegas had already set the stage for this monumental clash, with The Rock and Roman Reigns presenting a united front against Cody Rhodes. The tension escalated when The Rock, after discussing the deep-rooted connections between his and Reigns' families, openly slapped Rhodes. This act of defiance from Rhodes, challenging Reigns and questioning the family legacy, has led to the official booking of their WrestleMania 40 showdown in Philadelphia.
