However, soon Reigns’ theme played, and Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso came out. Thereafter, they began approaching Rhodes. Meanwhile, Jey Uso and Seth Rollins came forward to stand with Cody. However, The Bloodline didn’t launch an attack, and the episode came to an end. This was a power-packed interaction between The Tribal Chief and The American Nightmare before their showdown at WrestleMania.
The build-up to Reigns vs. Rhodes at WrestleMania 40
Previously, Cody Rhodes faced Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. Meanwhile, despite putting up a tough fight, Rhodes failed to win the title from Reigns. With that, a rematch between them was inevitable. Meanwhile, The American Nightmare won the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match. Thus earning a match at WrestleMania XL.
Following that, Rhodes announced that he would not challenge Reigns for the title at WrestleMania and introduced The Rock. As Roman vs. The Rock seemed to be a done deal, the WrestleMania 40 press conference took place. During that, Cody stated he would be challenging The Tribal Chief for the title at WrestleMania.
This led to a war of words between Roman and Cody, and they brought up each other’s families. Also, The Rock went ahead and slapped Rhodes across the face. However, the match between Cody and Roman was made official. Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson became part of The Bloodline. With that, a tag team match consisting of The Rock, Reigns, Cody, and Seth was announced.
Also, recently, Johnson took shots at Rhodes and called him a “mistake.” This led to Cody losing his cool and slapping The People’s Champion. Moving ahead, The Rock kept taking shots at The American Nightmare. However, as of now, Cody and Roman came face-to-face on the latest episode of SmackDown. Thus, it can be understood that the Mania match involving all the superstars is gradually building up.
