Nick Khan Lied About WWE’s WrestleMania 40 Plans Never Changing

TLDR

Nick Khan claimed at the Sports Business Journal World Congress of Sports that WWE's WrestleMania 40 plans involving Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, The Rock, and Seth Rollins never changed from what fans saw in Philadelphia. However, sources indicate that plans did change when The Rock entered the picture around early 2024, leading to Rhodes initially stepping aside before fan backlash caused WWE to revert to Rhodes defeating Reigns for the championship. Vince Russo also disputed Khan's claim, pointing to a segment where Rhodes told Reigns he would take everything except his title as evidence of the direction change.
