On night one of WrestleMania 40, Rhodes will team up with World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins to face The Rock and Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, before challenging Reigns for the title on night two.
Rhodes’ RAW promo included callbacks to a 2019 Dynamite promo he did while feuding with Chris Jericho, as shown below.
