What were the plans for The Rock at WWE’s WrestleMania 40? 🤔 During an appearance at CAA World Congress of Sports in April, WWE President Nick Khan said, “The plan was always how it ended up in Philly two years ago” with Dwayne Johnson in a tag team match. Khan said Johnson “did everything that we asked of him and then some.” Nick Khan says the plan “never changed” — Cody Rhodes was always slated to finish his story by beating Roman Reigns in the WrestleMania XL main event. Khan's statements seem to contradict The Rock’s own framing that a Rock vs. Reigns singles main event was the original direction before a pivot.
