Nick Khan\u2019s recent comments regarding WrestleMania 40 plans have drawn skepticism \u2014 and in keeping with previous reporting, for good reason.<\/p>\n

During an interview with Sports Business Journal<\/em>, Khan claimed that WWE\u2019s plans involving Cody Rhodes, The Rock, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins heading into WrestleMania 40 had all the time been the intended direction. Nonetheless, that contradicts each internal reporting on the time and WWE\u2019s own documented timeline.<\/p>\n

It was reported throughout early 2024 that when The Rock returned to WWE programming, he initially told Cody Rhodes that he didn’t intend to disrupt the long-term plans surrounding Rhodes finally winning the world championship.<\/p>\n

That modified by the point the Royal Rumble arrived.<\/p>\n

By Royal Rumble weekend, word had spread internally that The Rock was set for WrestleMania involvement, with merchandise already in production. Rhodes was also informed that changes had been made to WrestleMania creative plans. Shortly after, WWE television introduced the storyline during which The Rock pushed Rhodes to \u201cstep aside.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Las Vegas press conference had already been scheduled for the next week, however the overwhelmingly negative fan response to Rock seemingly taking Rhodes\u2019 spot forced WWE to pivot back toward Rhodes difficult Roman Reigns.<\/p>\n

Had Khan said the unique long-term plan was all the time for Rhodes to defeat Reigns, that will align with previous reporting. The claim that plans never modified, nevertheless, contradicts quite a few reports and even WWE\u2019s own content.<\/p>\n

Each publicly and privately, Rhodes and others have suggested that if fans knew what the unique WrestleMania direction actually was, the backlash would have been even stronger. To at the present time, details surrounding that version of the plan remain unclear.<\/p>\n

Fightful Select is reporting that there was also never an original plan for the Night One tag team most important event configuration. WWE\u2019s own documentary on the event repeatedly acknowledged creative changes took place, and the discharge itself was reportedly delayed to reflect those revisions.<\/p>\n

So yes \u2013 Nick Khan flat out lied together with his recent comments.<\/p>\n
