The top matches for WWE WrestleMania 40 were initially thought to be Cody Rhodes vs. Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and CM Punk vs. World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. However, The Rock’s unexpected return and the possibility of a match against Reigns may have disrupted those plans.
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the match between Reigns and The Rock will not happen at the Elimination Chamber event in Perth, Australia next month as once rumored, leaving it more likely to happen at WrestleMania.
“Regarding the Reigns vs. Rock match, while I presume it’s WrestleMania (and could possibly be a three-way with Rhodes but I don’t think that will come out until many weeks from now), what we did have confirmed is the Australia rumors aren’t accurate. Reigns is not even scheduled for the show. He’s never been advertised and there are no plans for him for that date right now,” Meltzer wrote.
