The mega main event of the first night of WrestleMania 40 pitted two monumental duos against each other. The Final Boss returned to WWE while showcasing a cold persona and surprisingly allied with his cousin. Joining Cody Rhodes in the war against the Bloodline was World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. A match with fundamental consequences, since the winning team will also decide the stipulation of the following evening.
However, the Bloodline emerged triumphant at WrestleMania 40, thanks to the Final Boss’s People’s Elbow that left no way out for the American Nightmare. But with this finish on night 1, fans believe that the WWE has made it clear who would win Night 2. And according to them, it’ll be Rhodes. But why? Let’s find out!

The first night of WrestleMania 40 ended a few minutes ago with a great main event match that can be defined as epic. The Rock, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Seth Rollins delighted the more than 70,000 spectators at the show. In a match that rightfully enters the history of WrestleMania, the four superstars put on a showcase, and at the end of an epic battle, the winners were Roman Reigns and The Rock. But now what does it mean for Night 2?

Well, according to the stipulation, it’ll be a bloodline rules match, but let’s not forget that Roman Reigns is still battling his demons outside the ring along with his adversaries inside it. And the way the WWE built the storyline, the former AEW star is likely to take away the belt from Roman. Also, there were rumors of the return of John Cena. So it adds up to the theory that Cena would return on Night 2 to help Rhodes win the fight. With legends on his back, there is no way that the Bloodline could help Reigns win. But has it become all too obvious? This is what the fans believe.
Fans call out the linear and obvious state of booking
As soon as the cousins won the match, fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the finish. And one particular topic that came out was that the booking seems obvious to the fans now. Sharing their two cents on it, here are some reactions:
