WrestleMania 40 Kickoff: Dwayne Johnson, Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns Starrer Breaks Insane Social Media Record Within Hours of Upload

WWE geared up for a much-awaited journey toward the WrestleMania season this year with a special two-hour media show at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The entire kick-off event largely revolves around the recent talk of the towns, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and The Rock. Digging up the answers surrounding the recent drama between them proved to be a huge selling point for the company, as the post-show reports and analysis depict.

On this week’s episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown on FOX from the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C., a video package aired to brag about the success of the live stream for the introductory promotional event on the road to WrestleMania 40.

Although many deem the media event a little all over the place, the company rightly picked up at tonight’s SmackDown from where it left last night.

Triple H reached a decisive standpoint regarding The Rock vs Roman Reigns WrestleMania controversy

Last night, we saw the Las Vegas Extravaganza go off the air, with The Rock having the last word. Following an intense segment with Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, The Rock warned the Hunter to fix things regarding the disrespect coming from Rhodes and Rollins toward the Bloodline. Triple H gave him the answer at the post-WrestleMania kick-off SmackDown.

He kicked off the night, putting The Rock in his place. Dismissing Johnson’s power to decide for himself, he declared. ‘It doesn’t matter where you sit at the table. The answers come from one place and one place only, and right now, you are looking at him.’

Although Heyman came up with a Roman Reigns and The Rock segment at the later part of the night, for WrestleMania night, it’s still Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns prevailing in the house.
