On tonight’s edition of WWE Smackdown, Cody Rhodes announced his decision on who would be his opponent at WrestleMania, but the result was not what anyone expected. After winning the Royal Rumble last Saturday, many thought that he was going to go after the ‘Tribal Chief’ Roman Reigns, who defeated him at WrestleMania last year.

However, fans were left confused as to whom Rhodes should go after, as he had an intense face-to-face last week on RAW with Seth Rollins. The architect presented him with very good points to consider him his opponent in the big WWE event. And as Rhodes shared a promo with Roman Reigns tonight, we finally have an answer. And it includes Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

In the latest segment of WWE Smackdown on Friday night, Roman Reigns made his entrance, and his first words were directed at Seth Rollins. He claimed that he achieves more than ‘the Architect’ with lesser efforts. Subsequently, Cody Rhodes made his appearance and came face-to-face with the undisputed champion. He stepped into the ring to remind him of how he was the closest opponent to beating him during his reign, expressing his desire to win the undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

 

‘The American Nightmare’ said the championship may be called “Hollywood,” but it’s the same one his father narrowly won, and that means a lot to him. He further emphasized that he was going to take away his championship, but not now. Not at WrestleMania 40. He revealed to the fans and Reigns that he consulted with a person who would take everything away from the Tribal Chief. Then, the crowd is greeted with the most electrifying man in all of sports entertainment, as The Rock then made his appearance and confronted ‘The Tribal Chief’ to reveal what has been cooking in the mind of the WWE.
