The Rock has returned to WWE television, where he has aligned with Roman Reigns. The two are scheduled to take on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40 (Night One).
The following night, Rhodes will challenge Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title.
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Rhodes will get a Rocky-like presentation in the promotional material. He wrote,
“There is a script for a Reigns vs. Rhodes promotional video to build up WrestleMania, which tied Rhodes into Philadelphia, with the concept being here in Philadelphia we know the American Dream and we know the American Nightmare, we know good times and hard times and that being an underdog isn’t something to be feared, it’s something to be embraced. One person got a script for a VO and noted that Rhodes in the script is going to be pushed as a Philadelphia style Rocky underdog.“
