WrestleMania 39 annual event returns for a two-day extravaganza. It will occur in California with a marquee match in Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes.

WWE’s largest yearly event will see Roman Reigns, the undisputed WWE universal champion, taking on Cody Rhodes, the winner of the Royal Rumble, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. With a record-breaking dual championship run, Reigns has cemented himself as the superstar of this era. AEW grew as the second-largest North American company when WCW collapsed in 2001. Rhodes was elevated to a title event performer and played a significant role in AEW’s development. During WrestleMania 38, Rhodes made his comeback to the WWE with much excitement. Rhodes got assured a showdown with Reigns after his seven-month injury recovery when he won the Royal Rumble in January.

The women’s titles for SmackDown and Raw matches are also ready. The women’s Royal Rumble winner, Rhea Ripley, decided to fight Charlotte Flair. Six superstars will attempt to establish themselves as the leading challenger for Bianca Bellaire’s Raw women’s championship in February’s Elimination Chamber. Get the complete list of the confirmed and projected matches at WrestleMania 39.

Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes (Undisputed WWE Universal Championship)

During the Royal Rumble, Rhodes returned after a seven-month absence to recover from a fully torn pectoral muscle. Rhodes, who started the contest at number 30, defeated Gunther to earn a spot in the WrestleMania main event. Typically, the Rumble winner chooses which crown to defend. Rhodes vs. Reigns got destined to serve as the main event of WrestleMania 39 since Reigns has both the WWE and the unified championship.
