John Cena was among the several others stars who came to the aid of Cody Rhodes when The Bloodline interfered in the match. He rushed down the ring to hit Roman Reigns with an AA. He also hit Solo Sikoa with an AA through the announce table. However, he went face to face with The Rock, who dropped him with a Rock Bottom.
Meanwhile, former WWE Co-CEO Stephanie McMahon made her return to the company and appeared at WWE WrestleMania 40 Night Two to hype up the crowd. This marked her first official appearance since she left the company in January 2023.
It has been noted that Stephanie McMahon had left WWE in early 2023 after her father former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon forced his way back onto the company’s board of directors.
Stephanie had previously announced a hiatus in 2022 only to return just a few short weeks later to take over as WWE Chairwoman and co-CEO following Vince McMahon’s short-lived retirement from the company in July of that year.
During the WrestleMania 40 Post-Show Press Conference, Triple H shared his thoughts on on Stephanie McMahon’s appearance on Sunday night.
“My wife looked good right? She hasn’t lost a step,” Triple H said. “So great to have her back home, right. I get her home all the time. But to have her back here, to see the doubt leave her by being here for the last few days, to see her confidence come back and to know that this is her home…all of you, all of us, all this business, it’s her home.
