At the press event, Cody Rhodes came out and confronted The Bloodline. He insulted the faction, which didn't sit well with The Rock, who slapped The American Nightmare. After tonight's events, Rhodes is officially scheduled to face Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania XL.
Shortly after, WWE legend Rikishi took to Twitter to react to the chaotic scenes from the event. Here's what he wrote:
Triple H has now made the main event of WrestleMania XL official on Twitter. The headliner will be a rematch from last year's WrestleMania, with Cody taking on Roman Reigns for the top prize.
Rhodes has been wanting to finish the story for about two years now. Now that the match has been made official, he will have another chance.
With the entire Bloodline against him, it remains to be seen if The American Nightmare wins the title this time. The Rock certainly wasn't happy over Cody's comments at the kickoff, and one wonders if he will try to sabotage Rhodes' chances at 'Mania.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
