And there’s the answer. We are on the way to WrestleMania 40 and that means WWE is mostly done with setting up the main portion of the card. If a match has not already been announced, there is a good chance that something has been set up with the match just needing to be made official. One of the bigger ones was made official this week as a challenge was accepted.

At Elimination Chamber, Cody Rhodes issued a challenge to the Rock for a match anywhere, anytime. Rock responded by saying that he would team up with Roman Reigns against Rhodes and Seth Rollins, but with some stipulations:
• If Rock and Reigns win, the Rhodes vs. Reigns WrestleMania match would be Bloodline Rules, meaning anything was legal
• If Rollins and Rhodes win, the Bloodline would be barred from ringside.
This week on SmackDown, Rollins officially accepted for the team, with the match being made for the first night of WrestleMania on April 6. After Rollins accepted, Rock insulted Rhodes’ family, resulting in Rhodes slapping him to end the show.
This was a big one. Check out what happened, plus how we got here:
Opinion: This isn’t exactly the most surprising result but now Rhodes more or less has to win the title. That match could be set up with either option for stipulations, but it is going to be quite the ordeal either way. At the end of the day though, they have set up the pieces for everything to work out, but now they have to actually execute the whole thing, which might be even harder.
What do you think of the stipulation? How will WrestleMania 40 end? Let us know in the comments below.
