The Rock and Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins being made official for Night 1 of WrestleMania 40 shouldn't distract fans from what should be the ultimate attraction on Night 2.

Reigns vs. Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship is where the storyline started and must remain the bigger focus en route to WrestleMania. As things stand, though, all of the fanfare and anticipation for the tag team bout is overshadowing one of the biggest rematches in 'Mania history.

The star-studded card could see another major name added to the mix: 16-time world champion John Cena. He teased an appearance at the event on The Tonight Show last week and left the wrestling world to speculate if a comeback is on the horizon.

If so, there's no shortage of potential roles for him at WrestleMania—including in the ring—with one making more sense than most. Having an icon of his caliber involved in any capacity would add to the aura of excitement surrounding The Show of Shows.

This installment of Quick Takes will discuss how Cena could factor into existing plans for the pay-per-view, the pros and cons of Kazuchika Okada joining The Elite immediately upon his All Elite Wrestling arrival, why Adam Copeland doesn't need the TNT Championship, and more.

Is the Tag Team Build Overshadowing Reigns vs. Rhodes?

WWE's extensive effort to make Rock and Reigns vs. Rhodes and Rollins a monumental main event for WrestleMania has been a smashing success by every measurable metric.

Unfortunately, it's simultaneously coming at the expense of the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship clash on Night 2, which is where everything will truly be at stake.

That was always going to be one of the drawbacks of booking the stacked tag team bout for Night 1, but even with the stipulations attached, WWE has done a better job of establishing bad blood between Rhodes and Rock as opposed to Rhodes and Reigns.

The company was wise to correct course with the WrestleMania Kickoff press conference and put Rhodes back on the proper path to "finishing his story." Rock will be an amazing asset to the event, but it's imperative to not have him overshadow Reigns or his historic title reign in any way.

WWE must stick the landing with The Tribal Chief's run as champion, and Rhodes decisively defeating Reigns is the only appropriate finish.

Getting back to the roots of their rivalry in the weeks ahead will ensure that moment packs the most impactful punch possible.

Pros and Cons of Kazuchika Okada Joining The Elite

Kazuchika Okada putting pen to paper with AEW was hardly in doubt following the expiration of his New Japan Pro-Wrestling contract at the end of January. It was more a matter of how and when he'd debut, and The Rainmaker wasted no time in making an immediate impact.

On last Wednesday's Dynamite, Okada shocked the world by aligning himself with The Young Bucks, attacking Eddie Kingston and being revealed as Kenny Omega's replacement in The Elite.

Planting the seeds for future matches with Kingston and Omega is by far the biggest positive of pairing Okada with the Bucks right off the bat. That's in addition to him already having proved in Japan he can thrive as a heel, and the Bucks can serve as his mouthpiece now that he's in AEW.

Will Ospreay was introduced as a white-hot babyface at Revolution, while Okada adds much-needed depth to the heel side of the roster. The Bucks have become more comfortable in their current roles, but there's also a certain staleness and audience fatigue with their shtick that shouldn't rub off on Okada.

Okada should be presented as the megastar he is and not be dragged down by The Elite's melodrama in the long term, but he's guaranteed to have an outstanding 2024 regardless.

How AJ Styles Feud Has Hindered LA Knight's Hot Momentum

LA Knight and AJ Styles have been at odds for so long that a WrestleMania match between them makes perfect sense from a storyline standpoint.

A win over a two-time WWE champion on the grand stage would be an impressive feat for Knight, but the worry among fans is that it might not be enough to sustain the momentum he has left from his days as the face of SmackDown.

His booking has unquestionably cooled off despite the raucous reactions he receives weekly. He has lost on three consecutive pay-per-views in high-profile matches and needs to bounce back with a statement win.

The issue with this feud is that Knight gains little from reigning supreme in the end. It's an improvement over him being left off 'Mania last year, but it also sends the message that WWE strictly seeds him as a midcard competitor for the foreseeable future.

His organic momentum is at risk of withering away if he can't remain in a meaningful spot on the card, and a rivalry with Styles isn't the answer to his recent woes as much as capturing a title would be.

Adam Copeland Doesn't Need TNT Championship

Adam Copeland made his triumphant return to AEW TV last Wednesday on Dynamite, reigniting his rivalry with Christian Cage with a vicious attack and announcing that they'll settle their score in an "I Quit" match on the March 20 edition of the flagship show.

Presumably, the TNT Championship will be up for grabs that night, and if the idea is for Copeland to beat Christian, that would entail him becoming the champion as well.

Copeland is hardly a poor choice for the role. His recent open challenge gimmick featured a string of fun matches, and he's been much more active than he was toward the end of his WWE tenure.

At this stage, the TNT title should be used to elevate fresh faces, and Copeland has nothing to prove by winning it again. Even Christian has outgrown the belt and is ready for what's next higher up on the card.

This Copeland vs. Christian storyline has progressed nicely in the last five months, but the TNT title has no purpose being involved at this stage, especially at a time when AEW's midcard is overcrowded with competitors who could benefit from holding it.

John Cena Would Be Suitable Replacement for Rollins in Night 1 Tag Team Main Event

If WWE is searching for the right role for John Cena over WrestleMania weekend, the tag team match in the main event of Night 1 would suit him best.

Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins are confirmed to face The Rock and Roman Reigns, and with what's at stake, it's logical for Rollins to want to team up with The American Nightmare and vanquish common enemies in The Bloodline.

Rollins will be defending his World Heavyweight Championship on Night 2 against Drew McIntyre, and that match shouldn't be undermined by The Visionary battling The Bloodline the night prior.

If Rhodes convinces Rollins to give up his spot, Cena would be a more-than-fitting replacement.

Cena was last seen on WWE TV being beaten down and systemically destroyed by Solo Sikoa at Crown Jewel last November. If he wants to exact revenge on The Bloodline, playing a part in their demise would give him the satisfaction he's looking for.

Moreover, WWE might view Cena and Rock back in the ring together as being worth it for the mainstream attention alone.

Rollins is the better bet with how prominent he's been in the program, but swapping him out with Cena shouldn't be considered completely out of the realm of possibility.
