Roman Reigns is being hyped as the biggest and most historic main event of WWE WrestleMania 40, which will be hosted in Philadelphia. The 2024 edition of the biggest pro wrestling event will see Roman Reigns, along with several champions and legendary superstars, perform.
Especially concerning Roman Reigns, his title reign will surpass 1300 days by the time WrestleMania 40 arrives. For nearly the past three years, everyone has been wondering who will ultimately end the Tribal Chief’s title reign. In this article, let’s find out who Roman Reigns will face for the undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40.
Who will Roman Reigns face at WWE WrestleMania 40?
At WrestleMania 40, Roman Reigns will have to defend his undisputed WWE Universal Championship against 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble winner, Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare decided to challenge the Tribal Chief a few weeks ago during the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff press conference event, after which Triple H officially confirmed this match.
It’s worth reminding you that at the same press conference event, The Rock came out in support of Roman Reigns and slapped Cody Rhodes. The Rock has turned heel and has been increasing the troubles for The American Nightmare by misusing his power.
On one side of the story, The Rock has joined Bloodline, while Cody Rhodes is receiving support from the current World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins. Another important aspect of this storyline is that Cody Rhodes had offered a singles match to The Rock before Elimination Chamber 2024, but it will be interesting to see if Rhodes can finish his story by defeating Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 or not.
Apart from Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes for the undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40, several other matches have been announced. The winner of the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, Drew McIntyre, will challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event.
In addition, the winner of the Women’s Elimination Chamber, Becky Lynch, has earned the opportunity to challenge Rhea Ripley for the Venus World Championship at WrestleMania 40. On the other hand, after being betrayed by The Damage Control, Bayley challenged Io Shirai for the WWE Venus Championship.
