Both nights of WrestleMania 40 are dominated by The Bloodline. On Night 1, The Bloodline’s Roman Reigns and The Rock emerged victorious and are headed to control Night 2’s main event. While Reigns is on a ‘god level’ right now and experiences popularity from all over the world. Such an example was set by UFC’s own, Daniel Cormier, who also acknowledged The Tribal Chief.

Daniel Cormier took to his Instagram, as well as X, to post a picture of The Head of the Table. He clicked a picture with his ‘one’ raised to acknowledge Reigns. The moment had Roman doing his entrance for the tag team match while Daniel was watching it live on the Peacock network from the comfort of his house.

Cormier is a former MMA fighter and got involved in a brief rivalry with Brock Lesnar. Back in 2018, they shared the octagon with verbal and physical exchanges but no proper fight. Cormier has been known to the wrestling world not only because of Lesnar but also due to his special guest referee role. At Extreme Rules 2022, he was involved as the referee for a Fight Pit match between Seth Rollins and Matt Riddle.

The same Cormier is now involved in UFC’s commentary. It was a double-header for TKO when WrestleMania 40 Night 1 and UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Curtis 2 collided. However, it looks like Cormier preferred the wrestling extravaganza and took his chance to acknowledge The Head of the Table.

Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes will lock horns in a Bloodline Rules match

Night 1’s main event of WrestleMania 40, decided the course of action for Night 2’s main event. The Bloodline went against the babyface duo of Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. The hype for this match was built around the entirety of March, and it did deliver the best time to see The Rock in a wrestling ring.

Rhodes and Rollins tried their best to get the win over the massive heel duo. However, it was The Final Boss’ orders that were heard by the referee, allowing the match to go his way. The result had Rocky and Roman Reigns win the thing and make Night 2’s main event a Bloodline Rules match.

In a few hours, Cody will face Roman in WrestleMania Night 2’s main event for the second consecutive time. However, this time The Bloodline will bleed over the bout and ensure that the match goes according to their rule. It will be exciting to see how Rhodes overcomes this adversity to capture the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
