During the main event of the WrestleMania 40 Sunday, John Cena and The Undertaker returned to the WWE to face off against The Rock. The interference of John Cena and The Undertaker paid dividends for Cody Rhodes, who finally got Roman Reigns right where he wanted him, dethroning him from the mountaintop to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
The championship match between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes, contested under the Bloodline rules, was worthy of a main event of WrestleMania, delivering the goods from start to finish. After Jey Uso helped Cody Rhodes in equalizing against Jimmy Uso, it was Solo Sikoa, who got himself involved in the home stretch, hitting the challenger with a Samoan Spike to serve him on the platter for Roman Reigns to retain his championship.
When Cody Rhodes managed to kick out of the spear and Samoan Spike combo, John Cena made his return at WrestleMania. After Cena put Sikoa through the announcers’ table at ringside with an Attitude Adjustment, The Rock showed up at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
The Rock and John Cena had an epic face-off in the middle of the ring before The Final Boss dropped the Leader of the Cenation with a Rock Bottom. Moments later, Seth Rollins made an appearance from the crowd with a chair in hand, utilizing The Shield’s theme song, but Roman Reigns stopped him in his tracks with a Superman Punch.
It led to The Rock, who had a “Mama Rhodes” weight belt in hand, stalking Cody Rhodes, looking to turn his story into a nightmare once and for all, but then the Gong sounded and the lights went out in the stadium. Seconds later, The Undertaker appeared behind The Rock before he had an intense face-off with him, and then, he took him out with a ChokeSlam.
Cody Rhodes finally got Roman Reigns right where he wanted him, alone and vulnerable without the Bloodline. He hit him with Cross Rhodes multiple times before pinning him in the middle of the ring to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and finish his story.
