As revealed by Dwayne Johnson, if he and Reigns lose the tag team match, there won’t be any interference by members of The Bloodline during the match for the Undisputed Universal title. If that’s the case, it might be difficult for Roman to retain his title, as nobody from his family would be there to have his back during the Night 2 main event.
Can Cody Rhodes finally finish his story by dethroning Roman Reigns?
Whether Roman is going to have his family by his side or not is obviously a major question, but that’s not what the fans are most concerned about. The thing that the entire pro wrestling industry is invested in is whether Cody Rhodes can finally finish his story by dethroning Roman Reigns.
If reports are to be believed, The American Nightmare is being considered the favorite to walk out as the new champion of WrestleMania 2024. But if that’s really what’s going to happen, the more important thing is how WWE is going to give him that victory.
A lot of people believe that The People’s Champion is going to turn on his cousin to cost him the Undisputed Universal title. In fact, it’s something that could be a likely option for the company, as it’ll give them the opportunity to set up a future feud between The Rock and The Tribal Chief.
With the kind of hype this storyline has already built, it’ll be interesting to see how the organization handles this whole plot at The Showcase of the Immortals. Moreover, it remains to be seen if The American Nightmare can finally finish his story on the grand stage of WrestleMania 40 or not. To get all these answers, the WWE Universe will have to wait for their clash at The Grandest Stage of them All.
