The highly anticipated match between The Rock and Roman Reigns was originally planned for WrestleMania 39, but logistical challenges due to The Rock’s busy schedule delayed the showdown. However, it now appears nearly confirmed for this year’s WrestleMania, with The Rock putting forth a compelling case for why this match should headline the grand event.
In a recent episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Cody Rhodes voluntarily relinquished his WrestleMania 40 main event match to The Rock. This decision stirred discontent among fans, sparking a movement that is gaining momentum each day.
The Rock actively lobbied for a WrestleMania 40 clash with Roman Reigns, driven by a desire to elevate the event into a truly significant and lucrative spectacle, emphasizing its potential as a big-money affair.
During an appearance on the Pat McAfee show, The Rock articulated a persuasive argument for why he and Roman Reigns should face off at WrestleMania 40, claiming it would be the biggest main event in the history of the showcase.
“At the end of the day, I know it, you know it, we know it, Roman knows it, Cody knows it, his fans know it, that at the end of the day, The Rock vs Roman Reigns is the, capital T, capital H, capital E, biggest main event in the history of #WrestleMania, The Rock & Roman Reigns & I’ll end it there, they all know it.”
Cody Rhodes’ sister Teil Rhodes also took to Twitter and took a massive shot at The Rock.
