Alright, folks, let me lay it out for you like a buffet at a state dinner. This weekend, The Rock and Roman Reigns are stepping into the WrestleMania ring, not just to throw down in a tag team showdown but to etch their names in the annals of WWE history with a couple of fancy new records. It’s like hitting a home run in the bottom of the ninth in the World Series – it doesn’t get much bigger than this.
Now, The Rock – or “The Final Boss,” as he’s calling himself these days (which, between you and me, sounds more like a video game villain than a wrestling persona) – is setting foot in WrestleMania for a historic moment. We’re talking about a guy who’s main-evented the grand stage of WrestleMania in the ’90s, the 2000s, the 2010s, and now, he’s lacing up his boots for the 2020s. That’s four decades, folks. He’s joining The Undertaker in the exclusive “WrestleMania Main Event in Four Decades” club. Even Steve Austin, Brock Lesnar, and Shawn Michaels, with their three-decade records, have to tip their hats to that.
But hold your horses, because The Rock isn’t the only one making history under the bright lights of WrestleMania 40. Roman Reigns, WWE’s own “Tribal Chief,” is about to become the first WWE Champion to headline both nights of WrestleMania. And get this – he’s also the first champ since Hulk Hogan back in the ’80s to headline WrestleMania in a tag team match that isn’t for the title. Reigns is about to outdo Hogan himself, racking up nine WrestleMania main events to Hogan’s eight. It’s like breaking the record in a high jump – the bar just keeps getting higher.
Now, these two aren’t just talking a big game. They stopped by “The Tonight Show” to remind everyone, including Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes, that they’re not just here to play. According to The Rock, victory is in the bag.
So, as WrestleMania 40 rolls around, let’s get ready for a spectacle that’s as thrilling as the moon landing. With The Rock and Roman Reigns setting records and breaking barriers, it’s a reminder that in the WWE universe, legends aren’t just born – they’re made, match by historic match. And as they step into the ring, remember, it’s not just about the titles or the glory; it’s about making history, one bodyslam at a time.
