Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes comments on his relationship with Roman Reigns.
Rhodes dethroned Reigns to win the title at WWE WrestleMania 40. Rhodes solidified his status as the face of WWE, and he led the company forward ever since. He and Reigns teamed up in the main event at WWE Bad Blood, where Reigns wrestled for the first time since WrestleMania.
Speaking on The Flagrant, Cody Rhodes commented on his relationship with Roman Reigns. He noted that he thanked Reigns for the house ahead of WWE Bad Blood. (H/t Jeremy Lambert of Fightful for the transcription)
“I got to say something to him for the first time, you’d be shocked if you came backstage, we just don’t have any interaction. I’m not saying anything negative about him, I’ve never heard him say anything negative about me. We understand where we play at in this world. I did get to tell him one thing before Bad Blood in Atlanta, which to me is the thing every wrestler wants to hear, ‘Thank you for the house.’ Tickets were really good for Atlanta.
“We sold out, then we sold out again because you open up and open up when he was introduced to the fray. I got that moment. I got nothing back. It’s a unique relationship. He’s incredibly special and done so much for WWE. When people get onto him about the limited dates and stuff, he was the thing. He did all this and earned everything he’s got right now,”
Rhodes is set for another high-profile match at WWE Bad Blood. There, he will face Gunther for the WWE Crown Jewel Championship.
