WWE Wrestlemania 40 Day 1 and Day 2 Card Officially Announced as Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns Headline Event
WWE's "Showcase of the Immortals," Wrestlemania 40, is finally happening this weekend in Philadelphia, and as expected, Roman Reigns Vs. Cody Rhodes will be the main event of Night 2 as the full match card for both nights has been released.
The lead-up to the main event has been electric as the feud between Reigns and Rhodes has gone on since the lead-up to Wrestlemania 39. This time, however, Rhodes's old rival, Seth Rollins, is teaming up with him as Reigns also teams up with his cousin, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Roman Reigns has held on to the WWE Universal Championship for over 1,300 days and Rhodes is trying to end it once again. However, the stipulation for that match is yet to be decided as Rhodes and Rollins still need to face The Rock and Roman Reigns in a tag team main event on Night 1 to decide whether it will be a traditional one-on-one match or a "Bloodline Rules" match where members of the Bloodline can interfere.
As for Wrestlemania 40 itself, seven titles for the main roster will be on the line, according to Bleacher Report, including the Raw and Smackdown tag team titles, the WWE Women's title, the WWE Women's World title, the United States title, the World Heavyweight title, the WWE Universal title, and the Intercontinental title.
"I feel outstanding about Night One, but that's the trick here with this year's WrestleMania," said Rhodes in an interview on "The Today Show." "It's hard enough to get on WrestleMania. And somehow, we've put ourselves in a situation where we're wrestling both nights, Roman Reigns being the match that I'm looking forward to the most."
Meanwhile, his Night 1 opponent, The Rock, has grabbed headlines again after giving a fan a Wrestlemania 40 ticket for free. This came after he tattooed the wrestling legend's signature on his arm, according to Bleacher Report.
