News about Roman Reigns

'The Great One' (pictured), real name Dwayne Johnson, enjoyed a four-month-long run in the company at the start of this year after returning in January to play a part in the WWE Championship story. Returning as a heel, he aligned with real-life cousin Roman Reigns to take on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in the main event of night one of WrestleMania, emerging victorious to set up the main event of night two.

The star (pictured), real name Mark Calaway, has been a staple piece of WWE for a number of decades, becoming one of the most famous faces of all time and still playing a role today. Appearing sporadically on TV, he was last present in the main event of night two of WrestleMania, appearing to take out The Rock and help Cody Rhodes dethrone Roman Reigns as WWE Champion to signify a new era for the company.

One lucky Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson fan scored a ticket to WrestleMania after a permanent expression of his fandom. The WWE star, 51, shared a video Friday of his recent encounter with fan Ruben Rodriguez, who later got The Rock's autograph tattooed on his arm. 'So f***ing cool. Love stuff like this,' he started in the caption. 'You hear me say this all the time - but these kind of moments with people are the BEST part of fame.

Cody Rhodes has revealed on Good Morning Britain that he is confident that he will have a one-on-one match against WWE legend The Rock in the future. The pair entered a rivalry going into the WWE's showpiece spectacle, with The Rock pinning Cody Rhodes on night one in a tag team match which also involved Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. Rhodes though walked out of Wrestlemania night two as the new WWE champion after ending Reigns' 1,316 day stint with the belt. 

The Hollywood star returned the WWE programming at the start of the year as a face - or 'good' character - and had one of the most popular runs of his career after turning heel - bad - ahead of WrestleMania. He teamed with real-life cousin Roman Reigns to beat new WWE champion Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in the main event of night one of 'Mania, and played a major part in Reigns' loss to Rhodes on the second night.

The Bloodline, led by former WWE champion Roman Reigns and The Rock, is leaving fans curious regarding its direction after Reigns lost his belt to Cody Rhodes after a near four-year reign on night two of WrestleMania. With Reigns and The Rock taking time away from WWE programming, some of the lesser dominant stars in the group will be tasked with carrying it forward, and that is what happened on Friday. Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa were on SmackDown, and their segment ended with Uso being beaten down by his real-life brother, Sikoa, and kicked out of the faction.

WWE pulled out all the stops when it came to Cody Rhodes' rematch with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. After Reigns and The Rock had emerged victorious the previous night in a tag-team showdown against Rhodes and Seth Rollins, the clash was contested under 'Bloodline rules' meaning no disqualification. As such a number of familiar faces got involved in the instant classic.

The event over the weekend shattered records , becoming the highest-grossing event ever for the company, raking in millions of dollars and breaking all sorts of crowd and social media viewing figures. Though the man himself is reluctant to brand it so, the Triple H era is well underway, with Vince McMahon far away from any control in the business and the franchise seemingly a happier place for it. WrestleMania 40 was a raging success, but how can WWE follow it up?

Johnson, who has been back in WWE as The Rock in recent months, played a starring role in WWE's biggest show of the year as Cody Rhodes became the new WWE champion. Adopting a villainous persona, he teamed with real-life cousin Roman Reigns to beat Rhodes and Seth Rollins in the main event of night one, before featuring in the night two main event between Rhodes and Reigns. In late January earlier this year, Johnson was appointed to the board of TKO, the conglomerate created by WWE and UFC's parent company, Endeavor, to unify the entities.

Rollins performed twice on the card over the weekend, first teaming with Cody Rhodes to take on The Rock and Roman Reigns before losing his world heavyweight title to Drew McIntyre in the first match of night two. He was also vital to the main event on the night that saw Rhodes beat Reigns to win the WWE title, entering the ring in Shield gear and ultimately distracting Reigns, allowing Rhodes to win. He cut an emotional figure during night two, first breaking down after losing to McIntyre before he was seen again in tears watching Rhodes lift his title in the ring.

After WrestleMania, the Rock made his presence felt as he interrupted Cody Rhodes, the show's new Undisputed WWE champion, at the top of the contest. The first hour of RAW was commercial free, with a mixture of Triple H, Rhodes, and The Rock eating up to 50 minutes of it. WWE's CEO brought Rhodes to the ring after the Game began to thank the fans for creating the best WrestleMania of all time (by any metric he kept reminding us). After reveling in finishing his story with Roman Reigns, The Rock, the former champion's cousin, decided to alert Rhodes that his relationship with him had just began. The Final Boss was barely able to talk for the first ten minutes of his match against Rhodes. Rock was told by the Philadelphia crowd to'shut the f*** up' and make him an 'a**h***' every time he tried to talk.

After Cody Rhodes dethroned Roman Reigns to become the WWE Universal Champion, WWE COO and former world champion Paul 'Triple H' Levesque led the applause for him. Rhodes defeated Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 40 on Sunday night, snaping Reigns' 1,316-day tenure as the world champion for the first time in nearly four decades.

Roman Reigns' championship run of 1,316 days came to an end thanks to Cody Rhodes, who in turn brought his tale to an end. On the night, there were three other newly crowned world champions, two in the first two matches. In addition, we were treated to a slew of legendary returns in the main event that helped create one of WWE's greatest babyface crowning moments. Logan Paul also appeared on the night when he competed with two future Hall of Famers and snuck in some innovative PRIME marketing.

Cody Rhodes' time as the greatest world championship run of the modern era of WWE is over, and the man is finally out. Before WrestleMania 40 night two, Roman Reigns had dominated WWE for 1,316 days. Rhodes had been trying to finish his story for the rest of his life, beginning with a pit stop on the independents and AEW. Now, a Rhodes will claim to have earned a world championship in WWE. Now is Reigns' world championship run in the record books. It's not the longest ever (actually, it's the third longest). However, it could also be the best ever.

In the main event of WrestleMania 40 night two, Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes will compete for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship, but it will not be under Bloodline rules. That was the stipulation that Reigns and his cousin, The Rock, obtained by defeating Rhodes and Seth Rollins on night one. Well, that means all goes. The Rock and The Bloodline will make the rules go along, but Rhodes will also enlist some outside help. Reigns' historic world championship reign has been without assistance from his Bloodline family during his matches, and he has unintentionally disqualified several celebrities along the way due to it. While John Cena, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn, men who have been wronged by Reigns, might have aided Rhodes, Triple H has now referred to perhaps the country's greatest legend of all.

After the Rock ordered his latest foul-mouthed outburst at a referee, WWE was forced to mute a portion of the WrestleMania 40 broadcast. In the main event on night one, the Hollywood celebrity, who was competing in his first real match in 11 years, joined WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns to beat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.

At the WrestleMania press conference for booing, Roman Reigns was seen kicking a member of the media out of the conference. After working up with the Rock to win the tag team main event against Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes, the Tribal Chief posted a big win in WrestleMania XL's Night One. Nevertheless, the celebratory mood seemed to have been cut short after one reporter began heckling Reigns during his press conference shortly after the victory.

In his first real match in 111 years, the Rock took the pin and the victory in his first real match in 11 years, when The Bloodline stood tall at the end of WrestleMania 40 night one. Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes gambled it all. Rollins must now defend his world championship with a bad knee and Rhodes problems for a title under Bloodline rules, implying that the deck is stacked against him. The hopes for The Rock were not high in his fifties and after not wrestled for over a decade. However, the closing stages reminded us of the wonder he still has after a tumultuous first half. Philadelphia ate up the star power they were promised to enjoy. The Rock, who had a hefty build at 51, was not about to miss the sport. The audience was at fever pitch after Roman Reigns ignited the excitement by beginning the match.

The Rock may have been earning billions at the box office for the past 20 years, but he kept all of that to return to his roots and compete at WrestleMania 40 on Saturday. The Great One, 51, hasn't wrestled full time since leaving WWE in 2003 and hasn't participated in an actual match in 111 years. The Rock wore his trunks once more to the main event of the night against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in a near-total tag match in Philadelphia on Saturday night. Given that the Rock was seriously injured when he last competed at WrestleMania against John Cena in 2013, there was some doubt about whether the former world champion would still have a chance to hang with the best in the world. Despite the effort, the Rock did get the result. Cody Rhodes was pinned to win for his family's victory, and the Final Boss ruled that 'Bloodline Rules' would be enforced for tomorrow's major event between Reigns and Rhodes for the WWE Undisputed Universal title.

The WWE president was speaking after his first WrestleMania was in charge of the organization, moments after The Rock and Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in the main event of night one. Lesnar had been one of the best starts in the game for a number of years, but it was quickly dismissed when he was connected to former WWE boss Vince McMahon's sex trafficking case. He hasn't been seen on WWE television since, with plans for him to face Dominik Mysterio and then Gunther scrapped in the run-up to WrestleMania.

WWE has dubbed WrestleMania 40 as the biggest WrestleMania of all time, and the corporation got off to a good start in Philadelphia on Saturday night by boasting that belief. We saw new champions, Rhea Ripley cement herself as one of the best actresses of the modern period, and, of course, a legendary tag team main event. Over 73,000 people attended the game at Lincoln Financial Field Stadium, but a lot of the action in the main event has ramifications for tomorrow night. The fact that The Rock is back, he fought his way, not Roman Reigns, was perhaps the most notable.

WWE has arrived, and WWE isn't lying when they claim that it is their biggest event of all time. WWE has arrived in Philadelphia with a slew of sellout shows hot off the heels of the 13th consecutive sellouts of Monday Night Raw. The sports entertainment company and all of their actors are in town for the 40th iteration of the country's biggest show, including the return of The Rock. Seth Rollins is on double duty with a tag team match on night one and defending his world title on night two, while Becky Lynch will face Rhea Ripley for the RAW Women's Championship. We know about a lot of pro wrestlers that end up together, but what about the WWE superstars better halves we don't hear much about?
