Roman Reigns' post-WrestleMania 40 victory celebration took a turn when he kicked a reporter out of the press conference. ## Following his win alongside The Rock in the main event, Reigns, known for demanding the audience's "acknowledgement," took offense to a reporter's boo. He demanded the reporter, a woman with glasses, be removed, threatening to leave himself if security didn't comply.## "I'm serious. The lady with the glasses, get her out. Get her out or I'm leaving! Use your feet. You're wasting our time lady," said Reigns. ## While Paul Heyman attempted to lighten the mood, the incident has gone viral, with the clip exceeding 1 million views. Whether staged or legitimate, the exchange has certainly generated buzz.## This adds another layer to Reigns' upcoming WrestleMania Sunday match. Already set to be historic as his ninth main event, a potential loss to challenger Cody Rhodes could mean a very different post-show media appearance, if any. ## ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

This WrestleMania is historic for being the first held after the wrestling company merged with Endeavor, owner of rival MMA promotion UFC. The combined entity, TKO Group Holdings, now takes the reins. This marks a shift, as the McMahon family is no longer in control. ## This year's WrestleMania ushers in a new era with Triple H at the helm of creative. The WWE Universe applauds his strategic genius for crafting an impressive match card for both nights of the Grandest Stage of them All. ## At the WWE WrestleMania 40 Post-Show Press Conference, The Rock praised Triple H's influence over the company and stated that he has done a tremendous job as the chief creative officer. ## "I think the Triple H has done a tremendous job as our chief creative officer I think that's his title he has earned. He has a few and earned every single one of them, I like ushering in new things and new times and new eras and it feels like and our world here and professional wrestling. It is a new era that we're ushering in. ## I talked to Paul Lovak Triple H earlier as we were kicking off and kicking off the show tonight and without giving any detail on what we talked about, like it was a special night for him. This was the beginning of something and marking the beginning of something new for him under his creative. And I think from a company standpoint, this is an exciting time for the company for WWE. It's an exciting time for TKO. You felt the convergence towards the end of the year when the acquisition happened. ## You felt the convergence in the first quarter of the year, as I was fortunate enough to come back, and as we kind of traverse our way through what the storylines could look like. And so it's an exciting time, and I think we capped off day one of WrestleMania this Wrestlemania that we have stated was going to be the biggest of all time, which is really saying a lot obviously considering given the givens and how many great WrestleMania there has been in the past so I thought that we collectively as a company and as a team put out a really good show tonight. And the best part about putting on a great show tonight is you get to do it all over again tomorrow." ## If you use these quotes, please credit the original source and link back to Sacnilk with an h/t for the transcription. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Reigns and The Rock teamed up to beat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in a wild main event at WrestleMania 40. There was a lot of bad blood between everyone involved, and things got heated early on. Both teams gave fans a preview of their upcoming one-on-one matches at WrestleMania 41.## The fight wasn't just in the ring. The Rock even threatened a ref to stop a possible count-out. Rollins fought hard despite a hurt knee, and Rhodes had a good strategy, but they still lost. It looked like Rhodes had it won after a big move on Reigns, but The Rock pulled the ref out of the ring just in time.## The ending was crazy with moves going back and forth. The Rock tried to hit Rhodes with his finishing move, but Rhodes stopped him. Reigns tried to spear Rhodes, but accidentally hit The Rock instead. Rhodes took advantage by putting The Rock through a table with another wrestler's move, and Reigns speared Rollins through the barricade at the same time.## In the end, The Rock hit Rhodes with two big moves to win the match. Because of this win, the main event of WrestleMania 41 will be a Bloodline Rules match, which means it will be extra bloody and violent. This adds even more hype to the already big championship match between Reigns and Rhodes.## During WrestleMania XL Saturday Press Conference, The Rock was asked about how he's feeling right now coming off of that main event. ## "I feel great. body feels great. I just had the time in my life. And I put in a lot of work. We had a hell of a training camp, which lasted probably about 10 to 12 weeks and I wanted to make sure that I was as prepared as I possibly could be. These guys who I've wrestled with tonight, I know they're the best in the world and on the planet and I wanted to make sure that I came in game ready and ring ready as best I can. As you guys know. ## It's impossible to simulate what happens in the ring. You can run your training camps. I had a ring set up and flown to Hawaii where we were at where I spend a lot of my time with my family where we live a ring in California too as well. There was a ring in Georgia to make sure that around every corner and everywhere that I went the first quarter of this year there was a ring flew in a lot of wrestlers who were really amazing and willing to work their asses off to just make sure that I was prepared. So we went out there I enjoyed every second of that. and I've been a lucky guy over the years to have participated in some pretty cool things that have been very gratifying. There's nothing like performing at WrestleMania in front of 1000s of 1000s of people. And there's nothing like performing with your fellow pro wrestlers.

The Rock shed light on the motivations behind his return to WWE at the WrestleMania 40 press conference.## While initial plans for a Rock vs. Roman Reigns clash fell through, Ari Emanuel's acquisition of WWE proved to be a turning point. Discussions regarding a WrestleMania 39 return in Los Angeles didn't materialize, leading The Rock to prioritize a substantial role upon his return.## "Yes, there was. When Ari Emanuel called and said, 'I'm going to buy the company.' 'Okay, what does that strategy look like.' We discussed that. There was talks almost two years ago about me returning to WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles. We thought everything was going to dovetail nicely into that, great story. That didn't shake out in the way we had anticipated, and that's okay. I had said back then to the people we were negotiating with, 'Maybe it's time to put the pencils down and we'll revisit when it feels right.' Between putting the pencils down a year and a half, two years ago, regarding WrestleMania 39, the actuality of the selling of the company, that became impetus to look holistically at doing WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia. ## A lot of things had to come together. The agreement, the deal, I'm not worried about that, especially when the negotiations are between myself, Ari Emanuel, and Nick Khan. I wasn't concerned about the agreement. My number one priority was, can I comeback and have real value this time around and not coming back for hot shots or one night. It's fun, it's fun for the fans, but I wanted something a lot more substantial, but something we could really build upon. These past two or three months, we've been laying ground work nicely and not only building for WrestleMania this weekend, but I think beyond that and the future," he said. ## He expressed satisfaction with the groundwork laid over the past few months, hinting at a future beyond WrestleMania. ## The Rock's return coincided with the WWE's sale to Endeavor, spearheaded by Emanuel. This deal seemingly paved the way for The Rock's full-time return, kicking off in January with his addition to the TKO Board of Directors. ## Transcript Via Fightful ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
