It's official – WrestleMania 40 is about to get electrifying! After weeks of teasing, The Rock is stepping back into the WWE ring, and he's teaming up with the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Their opponents? None other than Cody Rhodes and the World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.
The stakes are high with a thrilling stipulation: If Rhodes and Rollins emerge victorious, The Bloodline will be banned from ringside during night two of WrestleMania, where Reigns defends his title against Rhodes.
But if The Rock and Reigns win, it's Bloodline rules, and they'll stop at nothing to ensure Rhodes doesn't snatch the championship.
The showdown became official during Friday's "Smackdown," as Rhodes and Rollins accepted the challenge laid down by The Rock last week, and it will be happening on April 6.

It all started when Rhodes, fresh from his Royal Rumble win, expressed his desire to face The Rock at WrestleMania, only to find Reigns standing in his way.
Tensions escalated during the WrestleMania 40 kickoff, culminating in a heated exchange that ended with The Rock giving Rhodes a slap.
But the rivalry didn't end there. On "Smackdown," Rhodes retaliated with a slap of his own, setting the stage for an epic clash at WrestleMania 40.
For The Rock, this marks his return to WWE action after several years. His last match was at WrestleMania 32 in 2016, where he made quick work of Erick Rowan.
Now, he's back, ready to bring the electrifying energy that only The Great One can deliver.
Get ready for WrestleMania 40, where legends collide and rivalries reach their boiling point.
