Opinion: They had to do this. There was no other ending to WrestleMania 40 than having Rhodes FINALLY defeat Reigns and become the champion. That is exactly what WWE did and it made the show feel like the perfect way to wrap things up. I’m not sure what Rhodes is going to do as champion, but WWE made him feel like the ultimate conquering hero here and that is what they should have done.
