LAS VEGAS – The WWE Universe was in for a treat on Thursday night when Cody Rhodes, The Rock, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins shared the same stage at the WrestleMania XL Kickoff event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

WWE fans awaited to see who Rhodes was going to choose to face in the main event at WrestleMania in April. As the Royal Rumble winner, he got to choose either Reigns or Rollins.
