What to know about The Rock at WrestleMania 40
The main event of WrestleMania 40 is a rematch of last year’s title match between Reigns and Rhodes. However, The Rock has returned to WWE and inserted himself into the match against Reigns instead of Rhodes, much to the disapproval of Rhodes. This led to a faceoff at the WrestleMania 40 kickoff in Las Vegas in February, which ended with The Rock slapping Rhodes. After Rollins came to the defense of Rhodes, a tag team match between The Rock and Reigns vs. Rhodes and Rollins was proposed and later accepted.
The tag match has a stipulation that affects the title match on night two. If Rhodes and Rollins win, The Rock and the Bloodline will be barred from being ringside during the match between Reigns and Rhodes. If The Rock and Reigns win, then it will be Bloodline rules − basically a no-disqualification match − which means The Rock will do “everything” to make sure Rhodes doesn’t win the title.
