As the anticipation builds for the grandest wrestling event of the year, WrestleMania 40 is set to take place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on April 6 and 7. This year’s edition promises to bring an old-school vibe with some intense matchups and long-standing rivalries.
The Rock has made a sensational return to WWE programming, aligning himself with The Bloodline to face off against the formidable team of Cody Rhodes and the reigning world heavyweight champion, Seth Rollins. Night 1’s headline bout sees The Rock and universal champion Roman Reigns joining forces against Rhodes and Rollins in a tag team showdown with significant implications for Night 2.
If Rhodes and Rollins emerge victorious on Night 1, The Bloodline will be barred from interfering in Rhodes’ title match against Reigns on Night 2. However, if The Rock and Reigns secure the win, The Bloodline will have free rein to disrupt the main event on Sunday.
