The WrestleMania 40 will always be remembered as a highly anticipated event due to The Rock's remarkable comeback in WWE. The Brahma Bull made his return to WWE initially to face his cousin Roman Reigns in a dream match. He almost replaced Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 40.

Surprisingly, the WWE Universe turned its back on The Rock and hijacked WWE shows and social media to bring back Cody Rhodes to the main event match against Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Championship.

WWE management analyzed the intense heat and backlash from fans ahead of the significant WrestleMania 40 pay-per-view, and Cody Rhodes was reinstated to the main event picture against Roman Reigns.

Shockingly, The Rock turned heel on Cody Rhodes and joined forces with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline to stop Cody Rhodes from finishing his story.

The Rock and Roman Reigns teamed up to face Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in a tag team match at WrestleMania 40 to earn a special advantage at the WrestleMania 40 main event match. The Rock pinned Cody Rhodes at the WrestleMania 40 tag team match and earned Roman Reigns the advantage of the Bloodline rules match.
