Cody Rhodes Defeats Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 Night 2 with Help from The Undertaker – In a historic and chaotic main event at WWE WrestleMania XL Night Two, Cody Rhodes etched his name into the annals of wrestling history by dethroning Roman Reigns in a Bloodline Rules match to capture the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
Rhodes brought an end to Reigns’ remarkable reign, which spanned an astonishing 1,316 days, marking one of the longest title reigns in WWE history and the longest since 1988.
The match unfolded in a frenzy of action as Reigns and Rhodes engaged in an epic battle for supremacy. The presence of Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, and Solo Sikoa added to the chaos, with interference playing a significant role throughout the encounter. However, the tide turned with the dramatic return of John Cena, who made his presence felt by dismantling Sikoa and delivering an emphatic Attitude Adjustment to Reigns. The Rock also made a surprise appearance, engaging in a tense showdown with Cena before executing a thunderous Rock Bottom.
As the intensity reached its peak, the unexpected entrance of Seth Rollins briefly shifted the momentum, only for Reigns to thwart his former ally’s attempt to intervene. In a moment of sheer disbelief, the arena plunged into darkness, signaling the arrival of the legendary Undertaker. The Phenom unleashed his wrath upon The Rock with a bone-rattling chokeslam, clearing the path for Rhodes to capitalize. As the lights flickered back on, both The Rock and Undertaker were nowhere to be seen.
With the playing field leveled, Rhodes seized the opportunity, unleashing a barrage of Cross Rhodes maneuvers to secure the victory and etch his name in the annals of WWE history.
After the match, CM Punk and other WWE Superstars joined Cody in the ring, endorsing him as the leader of WWE’s new era. Cody fulfilled a promise to his mom, Michelle, by handing her the title, visibly moved by the moment.
Expressing gratitude, Cody invited Bruce Prichard and Triple H to the ring, reconciling past conflicts. Triple H raised Cody’s hand, symbolizing his ascent to the top of WWE.
Cody, lifted on the shoulders of his peers, shared moments with commentators and colleagues. He concluded by acknowledging Seth Rollins and Triple H, signifying unity.
As fireworks illuminated the stadium, Cody embraced his role as WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion, marking the dawn of a new era in professional wrestling.
