Cody Rhodes Or Roman Reigns? WWE Superstars Weigh In On ... (Forbes)

This represents the first time Reigns has been an underdog in a world championship match since his reign began in August of 2020. WWE loves its milestones, and Reigns is just 61 days from surpassing 1,000 days as Universal champion. And while Rhodes remains an overwhelming favorite based on storyline, oddsmakers, national and locker room polls, nothing is guaranteed in this business. The United States of America has joined oddsmakers in its lean toward The American Nightmare as 62% of the country feels Rhodes will defeat Reigns. Reigns has not been pinned or submitted in close to 1,000 days, and Cody Rhodes represents Reigns’ stiffest competition, especially if you ask the oddsmakers. During a series of WrestleMania weekend interviews, WWE and NXT Superstars Bianca Belair, Carmelo Hayes, Legado Del Fantasma, Valhalla, Ivar, Zoey Stark and Grayson Waller all picked Cody Rhodes to walk away as Undisputed WWE Universal champion.

WrestleMania: Roman Reigns talks about the Bloodline and how ... (Los Angeles Times)

That's what thousands of fans in arenas across the country have been doing the last three years, after Reigns won the WWE Universal title on Aug. 30, 2020. When ...

“That’s easy,” Reigns said, tactfully aware of the current storyline and respectful of the past one. The Bloodline has the twins and their teamwork. And what he brings on screen is just icing on the cake.” Cena (main event of five WrestleManias) kind of changed the whole game and created a whole different mindset of the top guy being the top guy for so long. If we all go somewhere, he’s going to be the one that makes best friends while me and Jey keep to ourselves.” After he spent three years as a member of the popular the Shield, WWE tried to make Reigns its top babyface, the wrestling term for a good guy, in 2014 and every year after that, but fans rejected him. “Solo, we could talk about physical stuff, but I don’t think that’s the most interesting part of him,” Reigns said. And they wanted the Shield reunited. And then it just happened out of nowhere as I’m beating up Jey [Uso], I was just yelling, ‘Acknowledge me,’ at him, and it just stuck.” It has become one of the best promo openers of all time. That’s what thousands of fans in arenas across the country have been doing the last three years, after Reigns won the WWE Universal title on Aug. When Reigns enters the SoFi Stadium ring on the second night of WrestleMania on Sunday, he will have been champion for 945 days, the fifth-longest reign (no pun intended) in WWE history.

The next phase in The Bloodline storyline seemed to be Cody Rhodes finally prevailing over Reigns, and Reigns’ Bloodline crumbling. And with Rhodes in lock-step with WWE’s fanbase since returning from a company he created to oppose them, live crowds unanimously sided with Cody. WWE’s long-term storytelling has been a lynchpin of the new regime, though Vince McMahon remains a wildcard as he seems to be inching closer to a return to creative. Rhodes was also banned from ever challenging for the AEW World Championship due to losing a stipulation match to Chris Jericho. Fans were almost unanimously behind Rhodes at SoFi Stadium, booing Reigns vociferously as Rhodes looked to finish his story in honor of his father the late great Dusty Rhodes. Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes in a shocking finish at WrestleMania 39.

Rhodes showed off his resolve and quickness back in the ring. Rhodes gained the upper hand early in the match with a drop kick as he tried to isolate Reigns’ arms. The momentum changed in the favor of "The American Nightmare" for a few moments. The fight went to the entrance ramp and that’s where Rhodes inflicted most of his damage while trying to avoid the referee’s 10 count. Before he stepped in between the ropes, he embraced his wife Brandi Rhodes and their daughter Liberty.
