WrestleMania 40 reached its climax with a match that had fans on the edge of their seats, as Cody Rhodes aimed to conclude his epic saga by overcoming Roman Reigns to claim the WWE Championship. Following a setback on Night 1, the stage was set under Bloodline Rules, allowing for a no-holds-barred conflict. Reigns capitalized on this, calling upon Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, and The Rock to his aid when the going got tough. However, Rhodes wasn’t without his own formidable backup, as Jey Uso, John Cena, The Undertaker, and Seth Rollins rallied to his side, balancing the scales and setting the stage for Rhodes to ultimately conquer Reigns and seize the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship title.
Cody Rhodes pushed to the limit against Roman Reigns
The battle saw its fair share of dramatic turns, with Rhodes retrieving a table, only for Reigns to thwart his attempt and turn the tides with a kendo stick assault. The skirmish spilled into the audience, with Reigns maintaining his offensive. However, Rhodes showcased his resilience, countering Reigns’ suplex with one of his own through a table, and continuing to fight back despite Reigns’ attempts to subdue him with a series of powerful moves and pin attempts.
The intensity only escalated from there. Rhodes managed to escape Reigns’ grip and land a series of signature moves, but Reigns retorted with attempts to finish Rhodes using his own techniques and a barrage of taunts. A low blow from Reigns and a brutal exchange on the announce table were just precursors to a frenetic finale involving interference from allies, betrayals, and a sequence of devastating moves from both competitors.
In the end, after a tumultuous series of exchanges, interferences from both sides, and a showcase of sheer willpower, Rhodes executed a series of Cross Rhodes on Reigns. Despite interventions and chaos, Rhodes’ determination culminated in a victorious pinfall, ending the saga with Rhodes standing triumphant as the new WWE Champion, marking a historic moment at WrestleMania 40.
