WrestleMania 40: New WWE Championship belt coming after PLE?

The WrestleMania 40 set has been revealed by the WWE and it resembles the tag-line of the biggest premium live event to ever be produced by the company. Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns will make history as they're booked in both the main events of the PLE.

Multiple high-stake bouts have been confirmed by the company for the Showcase of Immortals but nothing is bigger at this stage than the highly dramatic feud featuring The Bloodline standing against Rhodes his boyhood dream of becoming a champion.

WrestleMania 40 Night One:

  • Biggest Tag Team Match of All Time: The Rock & WWE Champion Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes & World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins [Main Event of Night One]

WrestleMania 40 Night Two:

  • WWE Universal Championship Match: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Cody Rhodes [Main Event of Night Two]

The stipulation for Night One headliner of WrestleMania 40 suggests that if Reigns and Rock prevail, the subsequent main event title match between Reigns and Rhodes would go down by The Bloodline Rules, ensuring a No-DQ capacity.

Reports and odds are heavily favoring Rhodes to win the WWE Championship after a long wait and finish his story. Going by the storyline prospect, Reigns vs. Rhodes II was built up in the first place to showcase the challenger.

During the latest appearance at the WWE World Experience fan meet and greet session during the WrestleMania 40 week, Cody Rhodes appeared and stated the following about his title match win, "If I do, maybe we will change how that title looks."

This comment genuinely indicates that Cody Rhodes will continue his family legacy in the WWE and honor his father Dusty Rhodes who's a pioneer in professional wrestling. But there's the flip side of the story, too which might switch his role in the WWE.

During an interview on ESPN First Take, The American Nightmare stated he'll become a Commentator if he fails to "Finish The Story" this Sunday in the main event of WrestleMania 40 - Night Two against Roman Reigns for the WWE Championship.

Here's what Rhodes had offered: "If I don't finish the story, then I might as well move over to commentary at that point - if I lost again... feel like you lose their faith."

As the anticipation builds for WrestleMania 40, the stage is set for Rhodes to potentially dethrone The Head of The Table from his historic title reign. Time will tell if WWE decides to pull the plug on it after more than three years.
