As seen on WWE SmackDown this week, Cody Rhodes appears to have stepped aside for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to face Roman Reigns at WWE Wrestlemania 40.
The Vince McMahon sex trafficking lawsuit, WWE canceling creative plans for Brock Lesnar, and CM Punk’s injury were all cited as reasons for the change in plans.
The Rock commented on his appearance on social media.
“There’s a word for this explosive, insane reaction – undeniable. No matter the era, the decade, or the city, the energy and connection between the People’s Champ and the People can never be broken and is truly an electrifying experience that creates chills every single time. Thank you Birmingham, Alabama, we made magical history in the ‘magic city’. Thank you WWE and thank you Cody for the love and the house (dream & soulman). Roman, there’s only one head of the table. I’ll see you in Vegas…Uso.”
The Rock is set to appear in Las Vegas on Thursday for the Wrestlemania 40 Kickoff event.
