Top star might cause ruckus at WrestleMania 40 Kickoff Press Event
The WrestleMania 40 Kickoff Press Event will feature a historic face-off between The Rock and Roman Reigns. Both crossed paths last Friday on SmackDown to tease a potential main event at the Biggest Show of the Year.
Another match that could be made official is Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins. They have gone back and forth over the past few weeks. That said, Drew McIntyre may hijack the press conference to insert himself into the world title picture.
The Scottish Warrior took out Rhodes and Rollins this past Monday on RAW, making it clear he won’t stop till he gets his hands on the World Heavyweight Championship.
We’ll find out if he’ll get his title shot this Thursday.
