Cody Rhodes made history at WrestleMania 40 by defeating Roman Reigns in a hard-fought battle for the WWE Universal Championship. The match lasted over thirty minutes, with both wrestlers coming close to victory multiple times. The bout took place in a Bloodline Rules match, which meant no rules applied, leading to chaos and excitement. The presence of legendary wrestlers like The Rock, John Cena, and The Undertaker added to the spectacle, with unexpected appearances and thrilling moments. Despite the interference from various stars, it ultimately came down to Rhodes and Reigns, with Rhodes delivering three Cross Rhodes finishers to secure the win. This victory marked the end of Reigns' 1,314-day reign as Universal Champion and brought glory to the Rhodes family after a missed opportunity at WrestleMania 39.
