Philadelphia, August 15, 2023 - Just over a week has passed since SummerSlam, and the ongoing focal point remains The Bloodline's key members: Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Jey "Deuces Uces" Uso, and the betrayer of Jey at the aforementioned event, Jimmy Uso. ## Nevertheless, thoughts are already circulating about WWE's plans for WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, next spring. One individual potentiall y involved in the process is WWE Senior Vice President of Live Events, Brian "Road Dogg" James. ## In the recent edition of his podcast, "Oh You Didn't Know," the former New Age Outlaws member shared his insights. With his finger seemingly not yet on the pulse of Mania's direction, he unveiled his hypothetical choice for the ultimate WrestleMania main event, if he were at the helm of WWE's booking. ## "I'm gonna say Cody vs. Roman 2," Road Dogg said. "That's what I'm saying. And I think ... I don't know what else you go with, unless something else really blows up quick, you know what I mean? 'Cause this thing's hotter than fire right now, man. And it just feels so good, it feels so right.  ## "And people were so mad that he didn't get it the first time, and that 'He's got to finish the story ...' This dude has caught on as a real babyface, and a real-life babyface, not a character. You know what I mean? He's done something that very few have done and he continues to do it. So that's my pick." ## WrestleMania 40 Ticket Updates WWE has clarified that there are no single-day tickets priced at $10,000 for WrestleMania. The top-tier cost remains at $5,000 for direct purchase, consistent with the pricing structure in Los Angeles. The starting price remains at $25, just as it was in Los Angeles, maintaining the same initial cost point for the first round of ticket sales for both events. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Pensacola, August 13, 2023 - Roman Reigns and the Bloodline saga have been a focal point on WWE television for a while now, sparking intense fan speculation. Various ideas have been tossed around for Roman Reigns, particularly for WrestleMania 40. Now, we have some insight into the planned direction. ## WrestleMania 40 is set to take place at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday, April 6th, and Sunday, April 7th, 2024. The grand event promises to deliver an action-packed two-night show in Philly. ## Roman Reigns continues to hold the Universal Championship title, and there's much to unfold before April arrives. With that said, WWE has a target in mind for the main event at the showcase of the immortals next year. ## According to Ringside News, plans can change," but the likely course has always been Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes for WrestleMania 40. This notion has been in play since well before their clash at WrestleMania 39. ## Last year at WrestleMania 39, Cody Rhodes faced an unexpected defeat against Roman Reigns, a surprising move for many fans. Rhodes wasn't able to "wrap up his tale," and he made it clear after the event that a fresh storyline had begun. Therefore, he might loop back to conclude the unfinished business with the Tribal Chief. ## The Bloodline is currently navigating a period of internal strife. Just this week, Jey Uso departed from WWE, and Roman Reigns' entire crew will be absent from the upcoming SmackDown episode in Toronto. Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes continues to maintain a prominent presence on WWE RAW. The future will reveal how WWE handles this intriguing angle. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Although WWE WrestleMania 40 is several months in the future, it appears that the company has already commenced its preparations for the highly anticipated event. ## The forthcoming edition of WWE WrestleMania, WrestleMania 40, is set to be a two-night spectacle. The event is slated to occur on April 6th and 7th, 2024, at the iconic Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This will be the second time that WrestleMania graces the city of Philadelphia and the state of Pennsylvania, following WrestleMania XV in 1999. Moreover, it will be the first WrestleMania since WrestleMania XXX in 2014 to incorporate Roman numerals in its title, adding a touch of tradition and grandeur. ## The WrestleMania main event is traditionally considered the most influential and prestigious match on the card. It is often the fulfillment of major storylines and rivalries that have been built up over several months or even years. As the grandest stage of them all in professional wrestling, WrestleMania is WWE's flagship event, and the main event is the pinnacle of the entire show. ## With WWE WrestleMania 40 several months away, WWE ha already started questing its Main event match which is likely to be headlined by Roman Reigns and an opponent to be predicted below: ## 1. Roman Reigns Vs. Cody Rhodes Speculation regarding Reigns' trajectory leading up to WrestleMania 40 is abundant. Notably, the Tribal Chief has entered the past three WrestleMania events as the Universal Champion, a feat he likely hoped to repeat. However, following his recent loss, the championship landscape appears uncertain. But fret not, WWE Universe, plans are already in motion for Reigns' future, and it promises to be an epic clash of giants. According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the current plan for WrestleMania 40 involves a showdown between Reigns and "The American Nightmare," Cody Rhodes. ## Rhodes himself dropped hints about this confrontation during the post-Money in the Bank press conference. The wrestling world is well aware of Rhodes' mission to capture the title that eluded his legendary father, Dusty Rhodes. With Roman Reigns holding the championship, the stage is set for a monumental clash at WrestleMania 40. While the World Heavyweight Championship holds prestige, Rhodes' ultimate goal appears to be the Universal Championship, a goal that adds an enticing narrative to the upcoming year. ## Since their headline match at WrestleMania 39, both Reigns and Rhodes have embarked on separate paths. Reigns has been part of the WWE's chart-topping Bloodline storyline, a family saga riddled with conflict that culminated in his recent defeat. Rhodes, on the other hand, has continued to shine as one of WWE's top stars, securing a victory over Dominik Mysterio at Money in the Bank 2023. ## 2. Roman Reigns Vs. Cody Rhodes Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins have had a long and storied rivalry, dating back to their days in The Shield. They've faced each other multiple times at WrestleMania, with Reigns winning the first two matches and Rollins winning the most recent one. ## If they were to face each other again at WrestleMania 40, it would be an incredibly close match. Both men are incredibly talented and have been at the top of their game for years. Reigns is the current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, while Rollins is one of the most popular wrestlers in the world. ## It's should be noted that Reigns is on an incredible run right now, and he's one of the most dominant champions in WWE history. He's also been getting a lot of positive reactions from fans, which could give him an edge in the match. ## 3. Roman Reigns Vs. Randy Orton Roman Reigns and Randy Orton stand as notable figures in the annals of WWE, boasting a desirable array of accolades. Witnessing their clash at WrestleMania 40 would undoubtedly materialize as a reverie match for legions of fervent fans. ## After a prolonged absence of more than a year, Randy Orton has remained on the sidelines owing to persistent back issues, casting doubt on his future within the realm of professional wrestling. In a recent interview, his father, Bob Orton, expressed his belief that medical practitioners would rather see his son refrain from returning to the squared circle. ## If I had to pick a winner, I would say that Reigns would be the slight favorite. He is the current champion, and he is on a hot streak. However, Orton is a dangerous opponent, and he would not be an easy win for Reigns. Either way, a match between Roman Reigns and Randy Orton at WrestleMania 40 would be a great spectacle, and it would be a match that fans would be talking about for years to come. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
