In the latest episode of the Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway podcast, WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker provided his take on the unfolding WrestleMania 40 shake-up involving wrestling legends The Rock, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes.

The drama began during the WrestleMania XL Kickoff Press Event when Dwayne Johnson and Roman Reigns agreed to face each other for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of Showcase of the Immortals, in a match described as "bound by blood." However, Cody Rhodes, who won this year's Royal Rumble, interrupted the moment and challenged Reigns for the title match. Tensions escalated when The Great One slapped Rhodes after he made a comment about Reigns' ancestry.

On the latest episode of SmackDown, Triple H officially announced that Roman Reigns would defend his WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania, leaving The Rock sidelined. This announcement left fans speculating about a power struggle between Triple H and Dwayne Johnson.

During his podcast, The Undertaker weighed in on the situation, expressing mixed feelings about the storyline. He acknowledged the star power of The Rock, stating, "There'd be that side of me that says this good for business. I mean, this is the biggest star (Dwayne Johnson) in the world, right?" However, The Undertaker also emphasized the hard work of Cody Rhodes, remarking, "I (Cody Rhodes) am the one that goes out and grinds every weekend of every year. Man, that's what makes everything so cool, that's what makes it real... It's unfortunate, like I said, but man, WrestleMania is going to be fire."

Another wrestling veteran, Dutch Mantell, commented on the situation, suggesting that if The Rock continues to stick around post-WrestleMania 40, he may take control of his own matches and opponents, rather than engaging in a power struggle with Triple H. Mantell stated, "I think The Rock, if he's going to do anything, I think he's going to call his own stuff. That's what he's going to do. I don't think he wants to get bogged down on a first match, second match, tag team, this, that, and the other. Rock wants to handle his own stuff, build his own opponents, that is if he is going to continue after WrestleMania."

The WWE Universe eagerly awaits the return of The Rock and Roman Reigns on next week's SmackDown, where they will address the future path on the Road to WrestleMania.
