As the anticipation for WWE WrestleMania 40 reaches its zenith, speculations run rampant among fans, but it’s not just the audience pondering the outcomes. Wrestling legend CM Punk has weighed in on the highly anticipated main event of night one, where The Rock and Roman Reigns will team up to face Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. And according to Punk, there’s a clear favorite.
“Hard to bet against The Rock and Roman. Easy to be against Seth, but hard to bet against Cody. But, if there’s a weak link it’s Seth. I gotta go with Rock and Roman on this one. I think The Bloodline is just too damn powerful,” Punk asserted in an interview with WWE’s YouTube channel.
The Stakes Are High
The upcoming main event of WrestleMania 40’s opening night carries profound implications for the following evening’s proceedings. Should The Bloodline emerge victorious, their win would establish ‘Bloodline Rules’ for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match, granting them a considerable advantage. On the other hand, a triumph for Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins would pave the way for the American Nightmare to compete in a pristine singles match, devoid of any potential interference or external factors. This pivotal outcome adds an extra layer of anticipation and tension to an already electrifying event, as the fate of championship matches hangs in the balance.

Mixed Opinions Among WWE Superstars
In WWE’s quest to gauge the pulse of the locker room, a diverse range of opinions emerged. While members of The Bloodline like Jimmy Uso express confidence in their family members, others including Carmelo Hayes, Otis, and The Miz believe in the dominance of Rock and Reigns.
Yet, support for Rhodes and Rollins isn’t lacking either. Wrestlers like Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, and Kofi Kingston see potential for an upset, despite acknowledging the formidable strength of their opponents.
“I know how good each one of them is. I feel like I’m going to have to go with Cody and Seth,” remarked Rhea Ripley, showcasing her belief in the underdogs.
McIntyre’s Singular Focus
One notable figure indifferent to the match’s outcome is Drew McIntyre, who is set to face Seth Rollins in a World Heavyweight Championship match the following night. For McIntyre, the only concern is Rollins’ fitness, as he awaits his championship clash.
