Fans had backed Cody Rhodes to dethrone the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. However, that was not the case, and WWE’s booking decision met with a mixed reaction. Triple H and other pro wrestling legends had shared their thoughts on the outcome of the match. ‘The American Nightmare,’ who vowed to finish his story was left disappointed with the defeat and fans wondered why he lost the bout. One of the reasons given by ‘The Game’ was that a story never ends in WWE.
WWE reportedly has no plans for Cody to beat Roman Reigns
The company has seemingly shifted Rhodes’ attention from Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. Billi Bhatti recently reported that there is no definitive timeline for Cody Rhodes to beat Roman Reigns.
Cody Rhodes is currently involved in a feud with Brock Lesnar and that is might be the reason as to why the shift transpired in a quick fashion. Lesnar recently came out as the mystery partner of Cody Rhodes at the start of WWE RAW after WrestleMania 39 in what many assumed would be the main event match against Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. However, that match never even started.
Before the match could even start, the fans were left shocked with the developments. Cody Rhodes was ready to face Reigns but was not prepared when Lesnar suddenly hit him with the F5. This was followed by another as the beatdown continued. He threw Rhodes out and beat him up there, destroying him in the ringside area. He even put him through the commentary table with another F5.
