When Cody Rhodes returned to WWE a few years ago he set his sights on the WWE Championship. The American Nightmare inevitably clashed with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, but he failed to win the championship on that night. Luckily for Cody he managed to win the big one when he defeated Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.
Cody Rhodes has been feuding with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline for some time now, but Roman has not appeared on WWE programming since Cody defeated him at WrestleMania 40 back in April. During a recent appearance on The Pivot Podcast, Cody Rhodes discussed his opinion of Roman Reigns and he made it clear that he doesn’t dislike The Tribal Chief.
“I think Roman and I are great opponents. I don’t dislike Roman and I think he doesn’t dislike me but when we see ourselves on the poster together, we get it. I’m supposed to beat you, you’re supposed to beat me, you’re supposed to be the benchmark, I want to be the benchmark.
“I’d love to sit with Roman at one point. We’ve never had that, to sit and talk. Even if we were to watch something back, if WWE organized it where we watch WrestleMania.
“Just because our families have been linked for so long, it’s kind of fate that put us together. I’m not a big believer in anything but there’s that element of destiny and fate with him and I going against each other.”
