WrestleMania storylines are a bit like planning a surprise party – they involve twists, turns, and the occasional letdown when the birthday boy almost walks in before it's time. Speaking of surprises, imagine our collective gasp when Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns recently locked eyes on SmackDown. It was like discovering your birthday present ahead of time, only way more exciting.
Rewind to WrestleMania 39, and fans were served a dish of shock and awe, seasoned with Solo Sikoa's interference. Cody Rhodes' championship dream got snatched away faster than you can say "Surprise!" But hey, WWE fans are as persistent as that friend who insists on throwing you a surprise party every year. They're here to see Cody's birthday—err, championship moment.
This staredown between Rhodes and Reigns was the superhero showdown we never knew we needed. Unless we're hit with a meteor or something equally apocalyptic, it's safe to say that WrestleMania 40's main event will be Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns II. And oh boy, are we ready to party!
Some conspiracy theorists out there wondered if WWE planned Cody and Jey Uso's Tag Team Championship win just to set the stage for this epic face-off. If so, they're like the friend who conspires with you to surprise the birthday boy in the most dramatic way possible. This showdown was as natural as that shock on the birthday boy's face when they finally walk in on their "surprise."
This staredown stoked the fire under the simmering rivalry between Cody and Reigns. It's the reminder we needed that, amidst all the smoke and mirrors, Cody's goal remains crystal clear – grab that championship and etch his family's name in the WWE hall of fame right next to the coveted WWE Championship.
While everyone's been buzzing about a potential match between Reigns and The Rock, it's time for some real talk. Imagine you plan a surprise party for someone, and The Rock drops by for five minutes. Sure, he electrifies the room, but we need the friends who can party all night. Cody vs. Reigns is the headliner that promises not to leave early.
Back in April, Cody and Reigns gave us a classic showdown that was as nail-biting as trying to sneak out of a surprise party without anyone noticing. We all thought Cody had it in the bag, but surprise! It didn't happen.
Now, with The Bloodline's systematic dismantling, Cody can finally focus on his ultimate goal – dethroning Reigns. It's like planning a surprise party without worrying about uninvited guests; everything's under control.
This is the story, the match, and the moment that WrestleMania 40 truly deserves. Cody's earned his spot, and this is the confetti shower that fans have been waiting for. That seconds-long staredown on Friday the 13th? It's like opening the door and shouting, "Surprise!" The WWE Universe's hearts collectively skipped a beat. WrestleMania 40 is officially the surprise party we're all counting down to! 🥳🎢
