The Rock Reportedly “100%” Facing Roman Reigns At WrestleMania 40 – The decision surrounding Cody Rhodes winning this year’s Men’s Royal Rumble Match has taken on new layers of complexity.
Despite initial impressions that Rhodes would challenge Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, recent developments have stirred controversy. The announcement of The Rock stepping into Rhodes’ spot has faced significant backlash from fans.
It was revealed that only a select few knew of The Rock’s agreement to participate in the match, a decision made as part of his involvement with the TKO Board of Directors. Even Triple H was not left out of the loop, contrary to speculation. Dave Meltzer clarified that Paul Levesque was fully aware of The Rock’s signing with the company and his match against Reigns when he booked the Rumble.
“My buddy Jay told me that since his tweets are private I probably should note that the idea that Paul Levesque didn’t know about Rock’s signing with the company and him wrestling Reigns when he booked the Rumble is clearly not the case. He knew exactly what he was doing.”
Pwinsider further solidified The Rock’s commitment to the match, stating that he is contractually locked in to perform at WrestleMania 40. Despite some speculation that negative fan feedback might alter plans, insiders assert that The Rock is set to face Reigns, barring any unforeseen circumstances like injury.
“The Rock is 100% performing in the ring at Wrestlemania 40, there is “no scenario” where Rock is not wrestling Reigns at Wrestlemania 40”
