The richest prize in WWE could be decided in a triple-threat at WrestleMania 40, featuring some of the biggest stars of the company's past and present.
WWE WrestleMania 40 will take place on April 6, and April 7, marking the fourth two-night event in the show's history. For Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, it will mark his fourth WrestleMania in a row during the same title reign (should he retain at next week's Royal Rumble). Reigns captured the title at Payback 2020 and his WrestleMania defense has seen him best Edge & Daniel Bryan (in 2021), Brock Lesnar (in 2022), and Cody Rhodes last year.
Up until recently, it seemed destined that Rhodes would challenge (and dethrone) Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, finishing his story in the process. Many have speculated that Rhodes' heartbreaking loss at WrestleMania 39 happened so that his big moment (and the end of Reigns' historic Undisputed WWE Universal Championship reign) would happen on the 40th-anniversary milestone.
Cody's road to WrestleMania hit a serious obstacle during the Day 1 Raw when The Rock returned to WWE and teased coming for Reigns' spot as The Tribal Chief. WWE had Reigns Vs. Rock 'locked in' at one point for WrestleMania 39 before plans changed.
While we don't know who Roman Reigns will face at WrestleMania, it will be either The Rock or Cody Rhodes, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports. WWE have yet to make up their mind about the match. The report adds that WWE is also considering a triple threat between the three men.
Rhodes will enter the Men's Royal Rumble match next week, a bout he won in 2023. The same show will see Reigns defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against LA Knight, AJ Styles, and Randy Orton. Despite rumors of The Rock appearing at next month's Elimination Chamber: Perthy event, the Great One is not scheduled for the Australian PLE.
