WWE WrestleMania 40: Big match featuring The Rock announced on Smackdown

The Rock issued a massive challenge to his current rivals, Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes, last week on SmackDown for a match of his wish at WrestleMania 40 and he got the answer from them, last night with the stakes being even higher.

The four mega WWE Superstars including Roman Reigns came face-to-face for the first time on this week's SmackDown since the WrestleMania 40 kick-off press event in Las Vegas after weeks of verbal jabs on WWE programme and social media.

The Rock debuted a new electricity-filled entrance. Roman hugged Rock and told the fans to acknowledge The Bloodline. Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins then came out from the crowd instead of the stage and the security also surrounded the ring.

Cody asked The Rock if he has the authority to add any stipulation to the tag team challenge made by the latter at WrestleMania 40, because he acknowledged Roman as The Tribal Chief, last week.

After The Rock announced the stipulation again, Seth called him "Mr. Mid-Life Crisis" and said he had his time, he couldn't take their time. Seth was quick to accept the challenge for what's being touted to be the biggest tag team match of all time.

The Rock further announced that he's their boss and he's added another stipulation to WrestleMania 40: If Cody doesn't finish the story at WrestleMania 40, then Cody will never get to compete for the WWE Championship again.

WrestleMania 40 will take place at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday and Sunday, April 6 and 7. The confirmed match card as well as the rumoured matches for the PLE are given below:

  • WWE Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Cody Rhodes
