Chief Content Officer Triple H kicked off tonight’s SmackDown. He was announced as WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque. He met Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis in the ring.
HHH said the Road to WrestleMania 40 is on fire after last night. He said he wants to clear up one thing and a “Rocky Sucks” chant breaks out.
Triple H said there’s some confusion as some people don’t know their role, as some people tried to assert their authority, which they don’t have. HHH said he doesn’t care where they ‘sit’ because the answers come from one place only – him.
HHH then made it clear that Roman Reigns will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes in the main event of the biggest WrestleMania of all time – WrestleMania 40.
He said some people in the back won’t like this decision, but it doesn’t matter if they don’t like that decision, and the fans cheered.
Aldis then revealed that Seth Rollins’ WrestleMania 40 challenger for the World Heavyweight Championship will be determined in the Elimination Chamber in Australia on February 24. The qualifying matches will start tonight.
Below are the 12 men that will compete in the qualifying matches:
Randy Orton
Bronson Reed
Kevin Owens
Logan Paul
AJ Styles
The Miz
Bobby Lashley
Ivar
