We are less than a week away from WrestleMania 40, what could be the biggest Mania event of all time. The Rock entered the picture to make that happen.
The Rock and Roman Reigns will team up to face Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in the main event of WrestleMania 40’s first night. That was not the original plan.
A new mini-documentary is now out from Dwayne Johnson. This gripping piece of storytelling also gives fans an uncensored look at the events that led us to the showcase of the immortals this year.
The New Rock Doc
The Rock dropped the first part of a new multipart documentary series on his Twitter/X account. This first part tells the story of how things started on the road to WrestleMania 40.
In the new mini-doc, The Rock reveals that he whispered “Let’s have the biggest WrestleMania of all time,” in Cody Rhodes’ ear during the February 2 SmackDown after The American Nightmare brought him out.
This new little video also reveals several profanities that The Rock has spouted on WWE television. This is the first time we get to hear him threaten to slap Cody Rhodes’ “f*cking teeth down his throat” as well. You may check out the video below, but it’s only part 1 of a multipart series.

WrestleMania 40’s Original Plan
The Rock wanted a match against Roman Reigns, and he was the only one who could change that match. In the end, Dwayne Johnson conceded that Cody Rhodes should be in the main event of WrestleMania 40 after so much fan reaction.
There were a lot of things that played into the drama surrounding that WrestleMania change. You may find our comprehensive report, including exclusive insight and reports, here.
If the Bloodline wins that tag team match at WrestleMania, then it will be “Bloodline Rules” for the Undisputed Universal Title match. If the babyface team can win, then the Bloodline will be barred from ringside.
That reaction to Cody losing his Mania spot to The Rock also coined the term “Cody Crybabies.” They got what they wanted, and now Cody can finish his story. Now, we will have to see how everything transpires as we approach the show of shows this year.
SEScoops will have more on this story, and so much more, as we get closer to WrestleMania 40. Please keep checking back throughout the day for more updates!
