Roman Reigns comments on potentially facing The Rock. Fans have buzzed about the match for years, and it was set to become a reality at WWE WrestleMania 40. However, fans rallied around Cody Rhodes, so Reigns faced Rhodes instead.

Roman Reigns discusses the surprising change in WrestleMania 40's main event, where he faced Cody Rhodes instead of The Rock, leading to a significant title change and heightened rivalry.

Plans changed at the WrestleMania XL Kickoff when Cody, the winner of the men's Royal Rumble, stated that he wanted to face Roman at WrestleMania XL. Instead of Roman vs. Rock, fans got Roman & Rock vs. Cody & Seth Rollins at night one of WrestleMania XL and Roman vs. Cody at night two.

For former Undisputed WWE Champion Roman Reigns, it didn’t matter if he faced The Rock or Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. Either way, he was happy. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Reigns reflected on the changed WrestleMania XL plans.
