And then on Raw this Monday, Seth Rollins said that he is ready to be the Shield for Cody Rhodes. The Rock has said that he will be wrestling at WrestleMania 40 and he and Roman Reigns have formed the new Super Bloodline. This is a match that could easily headline WrestleMania 40 Night 1 and this will be the first non tag team title match that will main event WrestleMania since the first one.
