In a stunning turn of events, the world of professional wrestling has been rocked by the return of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to WWE. The Hollywood actor made a surprise comeback on a recent episode of SmackDown, sparking widespread speculation about his future in the squared circle. While many believed that The Rock’s return would lead to an epic showdown with Roman Reigns, the current Universal Champion, the WWE landscape has taken an unexpected twist.
Reports have indicated that The Rock indeed has his sights set on Roman Reigns and the coveted championship title. In fact, The Rock himself hinted at a colossal clash with “The Tribal Chief” at next year’s WrestleMania. The mere thought of these two wrestling icons colliding in the ring sent shockwaves through the WWE universe. However, despite this electrifying potential matchup, WWE appears to have different plans for these two juggernauts.
Surprisingly, WWE seems hesitant to involve The Rock and Reigns in a storyline together, despite the immense anticipation from fans. Instead, it has come to light that WWE’s priority for Roman Reigns’ title defense is none other than Cody Rhodes. Wrestling fans will remember their epic encounter at WrestleMania 39 earlier this year in April, where Rhodes valiantly faced Reigns but fell short of capturing the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship.

Now, it appears that Cody Rhodes is gearing up for another opportunity to dethrone Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. The prospect of Rhodes getting a second shot at the championship has created a buzz among fans, as they eagerly await this potentially epic rematch.
However, the plot thickens with The Rock’s unexpected announcement. The 51-year-old legend has expressed his willingness to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. He even revealed that he was initially slated to go head-to-head with Reigns at this year’s WrestleMania, but those plans ultimately fell through. Now, The Rock’s return has added a new layer of intrigue to WWE’s future storylines, leaving fans speculating about the ultimate showdown between the Brahma Bull and the Tribal Chief.
As WWE continues to unfold its plans for its biggest event of the year, WrestleMania, the wrestling world remains captivated by the potential matchups and rivalries that lie ahead.
