The WWE Universe was treated to two nights of action-packed entertainment at Wrestlemania 40, with the main event on night two standing out as a historic and unforgettable moment.
At Wrestlemania 40 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, all of the WWE titles were up for grabs. The tag team titles, Intercontinental strap, World Heavyweight belt, and WWE Women’s Championship were all won by new champions.
Despite the event being over, fans are still buzzing about the ultimate title change that occurred – Cody Rhodes concluding his narrative by defeating Roman Reigns and becoming the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
Despite Rhodes deserving credit for securing the victory, it was not achieved without the assistance of some WWE legends, including John Cena and The Undertaker.
As the main event bout entered its third act, chaos ensued. The Uso’s traded punches while Solo Sikoa did his best to help Reigns gain the upper hand.

At that moment, the crowd exploded as John Cena’s music began to play. He charged to the ring and ultimately put Sikoa through a table.

The Rock proceeded to enter the squared circle and was now standing in front of his old adversary. Using his signature move, the “Rock Bottom,”he successfully took Cena down to the mat.

As Rock stood over Rhodes with a belt in hand, the stadium was suddenly engulfed in darkness. A familiar sound reverberated through the speakers.
When the lights returned, The Undertaker’s gaze was filled with hostility as he glared at the back of Rock’s head. As soon as “The Great One”realized the situation, he was hoisted into the air for a powerful chokeslam.

The lights flickered out once more, and when they flickered back on, only Rhodes and Reigns remained in the ring. Taking advantage of the situation, Cody swiftly executed the pinfall and emerged victorious.
Two years into his WWE journey, Rhodes fulfilled his promise of becoming the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
As Rhodes sat atop the professional wrestling mountain, numerous superstars emerged from the locker room to shower him with admiration.
