On last week's edition of SmackDown, Cody Rhodes confirmed that he won't be challenging Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40. This led to The Rock confronting Reigns after previously name-dropping the "Head of the Table" on an episode of RAW.
During the WrestleMania 40 press conference, Reigns claimed that Rhodes had lost his power to choose his desired WrestleMania opponent, and instead, it was going to be The Tribal Chief's decision. This led to Reigns choosing The Rock as his opponent for WrestleMania 40.
