WWE Report: WrestleMania 40 Main Event Match with Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and The Rock Allegedly Caught Up in Backstage Politics
A recent report suggests there was a lot of manipulation on the road to WrestleMania 40 in the main event match involving The Rock, Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes.
This year's WrestleMania ended up becoming one of the biggest WrestleMania of time. Multiple factors helped transform this WrestleMania XL as the best showcase of immortals of all time, from television viewership and merch sales alone. Cody Rhodes sold $1 million worth of merch during WrestleMania 40 weekend, social media numbers, and many more.
The main attraction of WrestleMania 40 was the saga between Cody Rhodes, The Rock, and Roman Reigns. Road to WrestleMania 40 was one of the most twisted roads where a lot of booking decisions were altered. At a point, Cody Rhodes was removed from the WrestleMania 40 main event against Roman Reigns, and The Rock was the one who was planned to replace Rhodes.
The American Nightmare was re-inserted back into the main event picture after a significant fan backlash. A recent report by WOR has suggested there was a lot of 'backstage politics' for the WrestleMania 40 main event match involving Roman Reigns, The Rock, and Cody Rhodes.
Per the WOR report, "There were definitely people who did not want the Roman Reigns and The Rock match. There was a lot of manipulation going on that a lot of people weren't aware of. I wouldn't even call it power plays, but a lot of interesting games being played on both sides. "
The report further stated, "There were a lot of people who wanted Cody Rhodes to get that spot before the fan thing happened and didn't want The Rock to get that spot, but The Rock was going to get that spot unless he volunteered not to have it because I know he's gonna get what he wants."
