On a recent edition of his “Tuesdays with the Taskmaster” podcast, former WCW booker Kevin Sullivan praised the storyline involving Cody Rhodes, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Roman Reigns, and The Bloodline on the Road To WrestleMania 40.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On The Rock’s involvement: “They didn’t give [The Rock] $30 million to not wrestle at this WrestleMania… It made Roman look like one of The Usos [that Rock led the show at the Kickoff event].”
On the storyline thus far: “I think these guys have done such a great job with The Bloodline and every step they’ve taken has been a home run. They may have something already in place that’s gonna blow us away. There’s so many ways you could go.”
On his belief that Rhodes has to win: “I don’t think you can [put Roman over], I think [Cody] has to do it. I’m a firm believer in the heat but…one of the things I learned about heat, there comes a point where you have to appease the people. This one, he has to go over.”
The Road to WrestleMania 40 is heating up with an exciting storyline involving Cody Rhodes, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Roman Reigns, and The Bloodline.

Sullivan believes that The Rock’s appearance at the Kickoff event, leading The Usos, made Roman Reigns look like a true superstar. This involvement adds an extra layer of excitement to the storyline and raises expectations for what is to come.
Sullivan also commended the creative team for their handling of The Bloodline and their decision-making throughout the storyline. He believes that every step they have taken has been a home run, and he anticipates that they have something big in store for fans. With so many possibilities and directions to take, Sullivan is confident that the creative team will deliver a memorable and impactful conclusion to this storyline.
However, Sullivan firmly believes that Cody Rhodes must emerge victorious in this matchup. He emphasizes the importance of appeasing the audience and acknowledges that while heat is essential in wrestling, there comes a point where the fans need to see their desired outcome. In this case, Sullivan believes that Rhodes defeating Roman Reigns is necessary to satisfy the fans’ expectations and maintain their investment in the storyline.
The Road to WrestleMania 40 has been an exciting journey so far, with Cody Rhodes, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Roman Reigns, and The Bloodline at the forefront.
