The Wrestlemamia 40 night 2 came to a close with Cody Rhodes emphatically finishing his story with three crossroads. Rhodes  finally got the three Cross Rhodes he longed to get. He got the pin to become champion and finish the story.

To complete his story and fulfil the American dream, Cody Rhodes grabbed Roman Reigns for three consecutive crossroads to end the greatest title reign in WWE history. The story is now complete and Cody Rhodes is new Universal Champion, ending Roman Reigns 1316 Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

There were cameos from John Cena, Seth 'Freakin' Rollins and Undertaker, 'Deadman'.  In one of the concluding episodes, Deadman administered a lethal choke slam on The Rock.

To celebrate the victory, Rhodes was joined by super stars such as John Cena, RabdybOrtin, Cm Punk Kevin, Kelvi, Kevi Ownes, Sami Zayn, Jey Uso.

Recall that Triple H had boasted on several occasions that  Wrestlemamia XL would kick off a new era and that era is now underway. In an opening ceremony, he declared, ""Welcome to new er." 

Cody Rhodes story 

Some WWE fans wonder what the Cody Rhodes story is all about.

In a report by sportskeeda, titled  "I gotta finish the story," Cody Rhodes explains his story and  details real reason why he wants to dethrone Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39.

In that report, American Nightmare stated that it's his quest to win the WWE Championship and that he would love to do so by winning the title currently held by The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. 

"I gotta finish the story. For those who don't know, 1978, my dad won the WWE title, but it was by over the top rope or disqualification is how he won the match. He put the belt on, big pantomime, the crowd's excited, but then they took it away. So you won the match but the champion got to keep the title, that's mentioned on RAW, so it's a real story."
