Roman Reigns Hints at WrestleMania 40 Victory and Retirement Plan

As WrestleMania 40 approaches, Roman Reigns may have inadvertently revealed his plan to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes on night two. This match marks Cody’s second attempt to dethrone Reigns in consecutive WrestleManias. Despite fans’ anticipation for Cody to “finish his story,” it increasingly appears that Reigns will continue his reign.

A recent comment from Reigns in his A&E documentary has sparked speculation. He hinted that his retirement could follow the loss of his Undisputed Championship. Reigns stated, “Cherish these moments because once I lose the Undisputed Championship, I’m retiring.” This revelation has fans questioning WWE’s booking plans, especially considering Reigns’ historic title run.

With Reigns nearing Hulk Hogan’s record for the third-longest title reign, WWE officials, including Triple H, may be hesitant to end his reign now. Holding the title until September 2024 would surpass Hogan’s record, making Reigns’ reign even more monumental.

Triple H’s Strategic Booking?

Triple H’s potential long-term strategy appears to favor extending Reigns’ title run. The decision would ensure that WWE’s top star remains in the spotlight. Losing Reigns now would significantly impact WWE, given his central role and the success of his title run.

Additionally, the planned match between Reigns and The Rock for WrestleMania 40 was reportedly shifted due to fan reactions, placing Cody back in contention. However, the possibility of Reigns retaining and surpassing Hogan’s record remains strong.

The Fan Perspective

Many fans argue that Cody Rhodes should finally claim victory at WrestleMania 40, ending Reigns’ reign. They fear a repeat of last year, where Cody fell short. Some speculate that WWE could throw a curveball, with Cody winning by disqualification or another controversial outcome, allowing Reigns to retain the title.

Regardless of the outcome, Reigns’ statement has added a layer of intrigue to WrestleMania 40. Will WWE capitalize on Reigns’ record-breaking potential, or will Cody Rhodes finally finish his story? The wrestling world is on edge, awaiting the unfolding drama at the Showcase of the Immortals.
