The Rock and Roman Reigns Issue a Tag Team Match Challenge to Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes for WWE WrestleMania 40

A significant challenge has been issued at the outset of tonight’s WWE SmackDown. The segment began with The Rock and Roman Reigns responding to Cody Rhodes' bold request for a match against The Rock before his championship bout against Reigns at WrestleMania 40.

Initially dismissing Rhodes' proposition and disparaging the Arizona crowd, The Rock instead proposed a tag team battle. He suggested that he and Reigns would face Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins on the first night of WrestleMania 40. Furthermore, The Rock introduced a crucial condition: should Rhodes and Rollins emerge victorious, Rhodes' subsequent match with Reigns would be conducted without The Bloodline's interference. Conversely, a win for The Rock and Reigns would mean Rhodes faces Reigns under Bloodline Rules. The Rock has given Cody and Seth a deadline until next week to accept or decline this challenge.
