When Rhodes won the Rumble match and pointed to Roman Reigns, it seemed obvious that a rematch from WrestleMania 39 would top the bill at WrestleMania 40.

Seth Rollins made a convincing case that Rhodes should face him for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship instead. The Rock returning on SmackDown and Rhodes leaving the ring for the much anticipated Reigns and Rock staredown added more confusion over Rhodes’s direction.

Nakamura getting involved now only adds more intrigue. Regardless of what direction you want for Rhodes, it is safe to say WWE is certainly keeping things interesting at the moment.
