Cody Rhodes may have finished the story at WrestleMania 40, but Roman Reigns wasn\'t concerned about seeing Rhodes replace The Rock in Philadelphia.
Shortly after his second Royal Rumble win, Rhodes suggested that, despite his mission since returning to WWE, he wouldn\'t challenge Reigns at WrestleMania. Not only that, but Rhodes stepped aside to allow The Rock the chance, infuriating fans who felt like the popular babyface was being cast aside for the part-timer. The hostile reaction from fans would see WWE correct course and Cody choose to challenge Reigns in Philadelphia.

Reigns Vs. Rock is an unquestionable dream match but this was not the right time for such a contest. Speaking to SI Media, Roman admitted to not being concerned about whether it was his cousin or the American Nightmare who he faced.
\"It doesn’t matter to me. I was the main event... I am the hot chick, everyone wanted to take me out.\
Instead of The Rock Vs. Roman Reigns, the two were allies on WrestleMania 40: Saturday where the pair defeated Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. The match saw Rock abuse his power as a member of TKO\'s Board of Directors, ensuring that the official did exactly what was ordered by the \'Final Boss.\'
With WrestleMania 41 set to take place in April 2025, speculation continues to grow as to what role The Rock will play at the PLE. The Final Boss has already dismissed \"bull***\" reports that he won\'t be at the event, with speculation growing of a potential triple threat with Rhodes and Reigns. Whatever comes in Las Vegas, fans can expect Roman Reigns in the main event, a spot that the OTC feels is rightfully his.
