It was an action-packed night 1 at the WrestleMania 40. The event kicked off with the WWE Women’s World Championship match saw the champion, Rhea Ripley, retain the title against Becky Lynch.
The night 1 action concluded with a tag-team match featuring Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins taking on Roman Reigns and The Rock in the main event. The Rock and Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
The Rock made his proper WWE return with this match, and he is a winner. Meanwhile, what grabbed the attention was his reaction when Roman Reigns speared him.
Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins Lost to The Rock and Roman Reigns
Everyone waited for this tag team match as it was The Rock’s first WWE match in eight years. And, he and Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
During the match, Roman Reigns went for a spear on Cody Rhodes, but Seth Rollins moved him in time, and Reigns ended up spearing The Rock. And that moment was full-on entertainment, and it will surely be meme material.
In the end, The Rock whipped that belt on Rhodes’ back. Reigns then gave the spear, and The Rock hit him with the Rock Bottom, and then? The result is here. It will be Bloodline Rules for Cody Rhodes’ match against Roman Reigns during the second night.

Earlier, TheRock made an epic entrance that included his Brahma bull logo lit up on fire and him walking into the flame and holding up “The People’s Champ,” a title given to him by Muhammad Ali’s wife, Lonnie, at the Hall of Fame ceremony on Friday night.
The Rock is Famous For “overselling” Wrestling Moves
‘The Great One‘ often found himself at the receiving end of Stone Colde stunner from his greatest rival, Stone Cold Steve Austin. It was their rivalry in the late 1990s and early 2000s that propelled WWE’s popularity. And one major reason for that was how The Rock would oversell the Stone Cold Stunner.
For the unversed, in WWE, oversell means it is a wrestler showing too much of a reaction to his opponent’s offensive maneuver.
And, once Dwayne Johnson took to X, formerly Twitter to clarify why he used to oversell the Stone Cold Stunner. He did it for a case of the beers, something Steve Austin really loves.
My dude. Appreciate it HB. Me and @steveaustinBSR used to bet cases of beer on how crazy I could get with my "sell" of his famous Stunner.🤙🏾 https://t.co/VtTmqI1jkW
