WWE is gearing up for WrestleMania 40, their biggest event of the year. This year’s main story features a heated rivalry between The Rock, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Cody Rhodes. All eyes are on whether Cody Rhodes can finally defeat Roman Reigns and end his four-year championship reign.

During a recent episode of Monday Night Raw, The Rock promised to make Cody Rhodes bleed by the end of the show. True to his word, the closing moments saw a brutal attack. The Rock, alongside his team The Bloodline, went after Cody. The Rock repeatedly hit Cody with a trash can, threw him out to the parking lot, and even smashed his face against his own truck!

This bloody segment surprised many fans because WWE has strayed away from violence in recent years. Now, everyone’s wondering: will WWE bring back more blood and brutality to their TV shows?

A Change in Leadership, a Change in Violence?

According to a wrestling news report, the decision to use blood likely ties back to the recent change in WWE leadership. Vince McMahon, who previously preferred a more family-friendly PG rating, is no longer in charge.

The report states, “With blood, the key is that this is no longer Vince McMahon’s company.” It goes on to say that while blood won’t be a common sight, there might be more flexibility compared to the past.

Here’s the interesting twist: the report also suggests that The Rock might have had a say in the bloody segment. Apparently, he has a lot of influence over his storylines, possibly even more than Brock Lesnar had in the past. This means The Rock might be able to include violence in his matches and appearances if he chooses to.

What Does This Mean for WrestleMania 40?

With just days left until WrestleMania 40, fans are curious about how many more matches will be added to the already stacked card. So far, ten exciting matches have been announced, featuring top stars like Roman Reigns, The Rock, and Cody Rhodes.

Another report suggests that three more matches might be added, bringing the total to thirteen. To give each match enough time to shine, the plan is to split the matches across the two nights of WrestleMania. This means fans can expect a jam-packed event with potentially more intense action, depending on The Rock’s influence and the creative direction.

Whether WWE will embrace more violence like the recent segment with The Rock remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure: WrestleMania 40 promises to be an unforgettable event with high stakes and potentially brutal battles!
