Although some fans may not agree with the decisions that have been made the WWE revealed their main event matches for WrestleMania on Smackdown last night.
Cody Rhodes confronted Roman Reigns in the ring. He refuted some of the things WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins said on Raw and as the Royal Rumble winner made his WrestleMania main event decision.
“He called THAT the ‘Hollywood title’. You can call it whatever you want but that is still the title Bruno Sammartino held. It is still the title that was put into my father’s hands in Madison Square Garden and then swiftly taken away. Call it whatever you want. I will want THAT title,” Cody told Reigns putting him on notice. “I am coming for it! I am coming for you, Roman Reigns…but not at WrestleMania.”
The Rock then came out to go face-to-face with Reigns in the middle of the ring. However, the Smackdown broadcast ended with neither of them saying a word.
After Smackdown went off the air Reigns just walked out of the ring.
The Rock addressed the crowd saying: “Well, it’s become very clear and evident to The Rock that when you want to create something iconic and when you want to create something magical, you come to the Magic City. “This is a city deep on history and ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I’m happy to tell you that tonight, all of us, we made history were in Birmingham, Alabama. Birmingham, I thank you. I love you. If you smell what The Rock is cooking.”
Smackdown established three WrestleMania matches last night. The Rock will battle Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship. Cody Rhodes will challenge Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and Bayley will face Iyo Sky for the WWE Women’s Championship after she was betrayed by Damage Control on the broadcast.
