WrestleMania 40 witnessed an unforgettable main event, not just for its outcome, but for the surprise appearances of WWE legends that ignited a frenzy amongst the audience. The much-anticipated “Bloodline Rules” match, pitting Cody Rhodes against Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, took an unexpected turn when familiar faces emerged from the shadows.
John Cena, the leader of the Cenation, entered the fray first, much to the delight of the crowd. His arrival seemed to tip the scales in Rhodes’ favor, but a shocking twist followed. The Rock, a long-time rival of Cena, countered with a signature Rock Bottom, leaving the WWE Universe in a state of disbelief. The nostalgia factor went into overdrive when The Undertaker, the legendary Deadman, made a dramatic entrance. With a thunderous Chokeslam on The Rock, The Undertaker ensured Reigns wouldn’t receive outside help.
The ring was cleared, leaving Rhodes and Reigns to settle their differences one-on-one. In a hard-fought encounter that lived up to the WrestleMania spectacle, Rhodes emerged victorious, hitting a devastating Cross Rhodes to dethrone the dominant Reigns. The roar of the crowd was deafening as Rhodes celebrated his long-awaited championship reign.
But the surprises didn’t end there. As Rhodes basked in the glory of his victory, a familiar theme song echoed through the stadium. Triple H, “The Game” and the mastermind behind NXT, joined the celebration. The embrace between Rhodes and Triple H seemingly signified the culmination of a two-year storyline that had captivated fans.
WrestleMania 40’s main event transcended the typical championship match. It became a night of legends, nostalgia, and unexpected alliances. The return of these iconic figures not only added star power to the event but also hinted at potential future storylines within the ever-evolving world of professional wrestling. The night belonged to Cody Rhodes, but the lasting image might very well be the reunion of these legendary names, leaving fans to ponder what this means for the future of WWE.
