The 2023 Royal Rumble ending wasn’t exactly what many fans were expecting to see. When Cody Rhodes became the men’s Royal Rumble winner in the opening match, many thought The Rock would be returning later on in the show. Well, that wasn’t the case, as the main event of the show had a different kind of shocker for the fans.

Well, these are the numbers that only WWE accounts have gained in the last day or so. The overall count will be much higher if you consider all the accounts and platforms that might have shared the segment.
With the road to WrestleMania 39 officially started, the storyline could conclude at the Show of Shows
Many had predicted that The Rock will return during the 2023 Royal Rumble ending and challenge Roman Reigns. However, The Great One didn’t show up and instead, Sami Zayn got the show’s major spot. Although some previous reports claim Sami vs Reigns will happen at the Elimination Chamber, things could change now.

Recently, Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer discussed how could WWE book things after the recent Royal Rumble ending. He claimed, as of now, Cody Rhodes is the one who will face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39.
Though, Meltzer also added that WWE could change the plans as Sami Zayn is a fan favorite right now. He feels the management can rethink their current plans based on the crowd’s reaction.
Nevertheless, if The Rock versus Roman Reigns is out of the cards, Sami Zayn seems to be the most appropriate option. And as some reports say, WWE could take one title away from Roman, crown a new champion, and put Cody against that superstar. Though what will happen, nobody but Triple H and the WWE creative team knows.
