Backstage Reaction to Nick Khan Saying WrestleMania 40 Main Event Plans Never Changed

As noted before, WWE President Nick Khan had claimed in a recent interview with the Sports Business Journal that WWE’s main event plans for WrestleMania 40 in 2024 were never changed. Khan also claimed that the situation involving Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson being involved always went the way WWE had wanted it to go.

Fightful Select reported that their sources confirmed that Khan had lied to Sports Business Journal about WWE’s WrestleMania 40 main event creative plans.

It was reported that Cody Rhodes and others had stated both publicly and privately that if the fans knew what the actual plan was going to be with him at WrestleMania 40, they would have been even more angry at WWE over it. It was also reported that they have still not learned exactly what that plan would have been for Rhodes but it certainly was changed.
