To say that last night’s WrestleMania 40 kickoff press event went well for WWE would be an understatement. The night started out feeling like little more than a WrestleMania infomercial, but by the final segment, wrestling fans around the world were eagerly awaiting what would come next. Cody Rhodes is finally ready to (hopefully) finish his storyline against WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WWE’s biggest event of the year, and not only that, The Rock is now firmly a wild card in the mix after from slapping Cody and seemingly siding with Reigns, even cursing out WWE CCO Triple H.
Naturally, many fans will be wondering which of the players involved in last night’s drama will appear on their television screens tonight during “WWE SmackDown.” For his part, Triple H was kind enough to confirm that he will be on “SmackDown” tonight to address the fallout from the Rock/Reigns/Rhodes situation, via a post on X. Since taking over creative control from Vince McMahon, “The Game” rarely appears on weekly television, suggesting something big may happen. As for Rhodes, PWInsider Elite reports that “American Nightmare,” technically a “WWE Raw” star, has been spotted in Charlotte, home of tonight’s “SmackDown.”
On the other hand, PWIE also reports that there are no indications that “The Tribal Chief” will grace “SmackDown” with his presence tonight and, as expected, there have been no reports in any way regarding The Rock’s possible appearance, suggesting which was back to handling his business outside of WWE for now. Fans can at least take solace in the fact that another major star, Randy Orton, is expected to return tonight, after being absent last Friday.
