WWE WrestleMania is one of the most anticipated events of the year. It started on March 31, 1985, when first WrestleMania was at the Madison Square Garden in New York City. Now, after almost four decades, the big premium live show is back for its 40th installment.
According to rumors, WWE is making massive preparations for WrestleMania 40, which will be held at Lincoln Financial Field Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Stamford-based company is preparing superstars like Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and The Rock for the upcoming event, and fans are excited to see the April 6 event.
WWE is reportedly making massive preparations for WrestleMania 40
The WWE Royal Rumble 2024 saw some exciting matches, which will likely have a great impact on the upcoming WrestleMania 40 event. Cody Rhodes won his second Royal Rumble match and ‘The Tribal Chief’ was scheduled to defend his title in a fatal 4-way match, which Roman Reigns successfully defended by pinning AJ Styles with a spear.
The next big premium event is the WWE Elimination Chamber on February 24, 2024, at Optus Stadium in Burswood, Perth, Western Australia. After the event in Perth, WrestleMania 40 will be next, which will be a two-night event on April 6 and April 7.
Last year on WrestleMania 39, Cody Rhodes came very close to winning the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against the ‘Head of the Table’ but due to the interference of ‘The Tribal Heir’ Solo Sikoa, Rhodes lost his match. This year, WWE is reportedly making massive preparations for the Philadelphia event of WrestleMania 40. With superstars like ‘The Great One’ Rock back in WWE, chances are the main event will see a new record-breaking ascension of a new champion.
As per predictions, The Rock may fight Roman at the Elimination Chamber, but as Reigns is unlikely to attend the Perth event, all three superstarsâRoman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and The Rockâmight have a Triple Threat match in the biggest event of the year.
Who will main event WrestleMania 40?
Cody Rhodes will get to finish his story in the upcoming WrestleMania 40 event, but his match with Roman Reigns might face some obstacles as the ‘Brahma Bull’ will also likely challenge ‘The Big Dog’ for the head of the table position. So the fans are confused on who will face Roman Reigns.
The likely match cards for WrestleMania are “Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes”, where the match from last year will continue and Cody will get to conclude his story on his second chance. Another likely main event match is “Roman Reigns vs. The Rock,” where both cousins will fight to crown the best ‘Head of the Table’ between them.
WWE Hall of Famer Booker T once shared his view on a possible Roman Reigns vs. The Rock match. He said, “Rock, Father Time waits for no man, thatâs just the way it is. For The Rock to get it done, this could be a great time for it. For Roman as well. Romanâs in his prime, at the height of his title reign. Itâs not gonna get any higher than this. If it is that time to pull the trigger, hey man, pull the trigger. The Rockâs back. Rock got a little time off. Right now with everything going on in Hollywood, might as well come over here and keep yourself in shape. You want to stay active. You want to stay in the game. So I get it.”
Some WWE fans have also predicted a Triple Threat match for the WrestleMania 40 main event, which will be between Roman Reigns vs. The Rock and Cody Rhodes. This match is one of the most hyped matches in recent times. Cody is the Royal Rumble winner, The Rock is the challenger, and Roman Reigns will defend his title from both WWE stars.
