Roman Reigns

As night two of WrestleMania 39 approaches we take a look at the legendary wrestling families of the two superstars involved in Sunday night's epic main ...

While the Rhodes family dynasty may be smaller in size, they are no less iconic in their output of legendary Superstars. His union with High Chief Peter Maivia led to the two families joining together in the Bloodline. Between the 1950s and 1960s, the Anoa’i and Maivia families became blood brothers. The original family legacy lives on, most notably in an all-time great such as As Reigns will bid to stay at thr top of the WWE mountain, Rhodes on the other hand, endeavours to ‘finish his story’ and become the first member of his family to win WWE’s top prize. [WrestleMania](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/wrestlemania) action, the [WWE](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/wwe) Universe prepares for the hotly anticipated main event between [Roman Reigns](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/roman-reigns) and Cody Rhodes on night two of the ultimate wrestling extravaganza.

On the brink of another WrestleMania main event, Roman Reigns has addressed his wrestling future and why nobody else in WWE can get a schedule like him.

They can say what they want. They can all say what they want. 2000, or it’s ‘No, no, no,’ there is something that is pulling me, ‘I have to do this, I have to create this, I have to put this on camera. I have to build this dynamic or rivalry.’ If something like that comes along, then that will motivate me as well.” I still feel like I can probably push to definitely 45 if I wanted to, I don’t need to, but really it’s about what is available, the art.” In the past year, Roman Reigns started working a limited schedule.

During a series of WrestleMania weekend interviews, WWE and NXT Superstars Bianca Belair, Carmelo Hayes, Legado Del Fantasma, Valhalla, Ivar, Zoey Stark and ...

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.

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.

WWE WrestleMania 39 Highlights: Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes, Edge beats Finn Balor inside HIAC and Bianca retained her Raw Women's Championship.

We have a collosal match starting the evening. The one-sidedness of the match continues as Omos drills Lesnar with a Chokeslam. As the Nigerian gaint goes for another chokeleslam, Lesnar escapes the hold and finally manages to lift Omos and swirl him around for the F5. Like it was the case last evening, a women's Wrestlemania showcase tag team match followes the opener. Placed second on the card may not be idea pickings for the former Women's champion but it's a Wrestlemania win for her nonetheless. Sheamus unloads on Gunther, grabbing him by the ropes and unleashing the 10 Beats of the Bodhran - albeit with a new variation. Asuka went for the green mist but Bianca ducked right in the nick of time. This is Edge's First Hell in a Cell match in 14 years having last faced The Undertaker inside this structure back at Summerslam of 2008. An alert Cody hits Roman with the Cross-Rhodes but Reigns gets his shoulder up as the crowd in the arena exploded. Meanwhile, the referee gets knocked out and it allows The Usos to intervene. As the referee comes to his conciousness, Roman getshis shoulder up and the main-event continues. It was an honour to witness such a main event and bring all the action to you.

In a demanding and exciting match, Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes to retain the titles and remain the undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

1, 2 Y 3!!! But, for the former, we have to wait until Sunday night. The Viking Raiders (Erik & Ivar) (w/ Valhalla) vs. Rhodes said that throughout his career, he had always overcome adversity and would do so again at WrestleMania. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn. 1, 2 AND 3!!!! However, in June he suffered a right pectoral injury, which sidelined him from the ring for seven months. 3! NOOO! 3!!! THE ERA OF WRESTLEZAYNIA BEGINS! 3!!!!

Sheamus for the Intercontinental Championship: This should be the most physical match of the show and an absolute war. They created a mega match feel and after a night filled with crowd pleasing finishes on night one, I expect the weekend to close with the feel good Hollywood ending.

The 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble winner Cody put up his best performance on the night, but with assistance from other members of the Bloodline, he failed to realise his dream of winning the world title at Mania. After Solo got carried away and smashed Cody with the belt from behind, the referee noticed it and dismissed him immediately. Both these mega stars had an entrance to remember as Cody came first, followed by the champion Roman Reigns.

Sheamus and McIntyre were able to keep the champion out of the match for a long period of time and slug it out. Rhodes' pin was a close one but Reigns remained in the battle. The Grudge match between Edge and Finn Balor inside the Hell In A Cell followed soon with both men looking to tear each other apart. The bout came to an end with Edge hitting a Con-Chair-To to the Demon and finally slaying him. As the other six superstars did their best to get one over the other, Rousey would swoop in and make Shotzi tap out and get the win. The WrestleMania Showcase match was next on the card with four teams battling it out for the win.

[After he and AEW couldn’t agree on a new contract](https://nypost.com/2022/02/15/cody-rhodes-leaves-aew-presumably-returning-to-wwe/), Rhodes returned to WWE at last year’s WrestleMania as the first major name to move from AEW to WWE. It was all a celebration of the Anoaʻi family’s Samoan dynasty in the business, raising it to its highest profile. It appeared Rhodes was on the cusp of winning, but Paul Heyman distracted the referee as The American Nightmare got ready to hit a third straight Cross Rhodes finisher.

Money in the Bank is on the way soon, too, after all. 30 in the men's Royal Rumble match and winning it, just to get shooed in as the guy to dethrone Reigns, never vibed right. The Bloodline story started with Reigns abusing Jey Uso, so maybe that ends up being the finale. The parallel could be there eventually, but more notable is that's just modern pro wrestling. None of this means Rhodes is out of the picture, either. Along the way, The Tribal Chief retaining means there is still a real chance The Rock finally gets weaved into what started as a family-based storyline.

Roman was accompanied by Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa, they gave the champ an advantage as Solo was banished from ringside after he took a couple of cheap shots at Rhodes. Belair defeated Asuka and continued her reign as one of the best wrestlers in the women’s division. Rhodes was mere seconds away from picking up a win and ending Reigns’ tenure as the Undisputed WWE Universal champ. He, along with Drew McIntyre and Sheamus came up with one of the most entertaining matches of recent times. Shane injured himself after which Dogg punched Miz twice, delivered the people’s elbow and picked up a victory! The rated-R superstar had a long-raging feud against the Judgment Day, Finn Balor rekindled the Devil mode, Edge turned up in his Brood Edge avatar, a totally awesome entrance by the way, and they were locked inside a Hell in a Cell cage. Edge hit Balor with an edgecution from mid-air and later delivered a spear, followed by another ConChairTo to pick up a victory. Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes to continue his reign as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, edging closer to more than 1000 days as the defeated champ. Lesnar somehow managed to deliver three suplexes, showing brutal strength to later deliver an F5 and pick up a statement victory over Omos. While the Nigerian giant dominated the Beast Incarnate in the early stages, Brock did find his way into the match slowly and steadily. The pair of them weren’t 100 per cent fit but delivered when it mattered the most. Brock Lesnar defeated Omos, Edge got his revenge finally over Finn Balor, and plenty more unfolded on WrestleMania 39 day 2.

On April 2, during Night 2 of WrestleMania 39, Cody Rhodes' aspirations were crushed while Roman Reigns' notable championship reign persisted.

A frightening moment occurred when Balor was struck by a ladder and began bleeding, yet he persevered and finished the match. However, Belair persevered and was ultimately able to secure the victory. Following shortly after was the Grudge match between Edge and Finn Balor inside the Hell In A Cell structure, with both competitors aiming to obliterate each other. In a surprising turn of events, Snoop Dogg stepped up and defeated The Miz with a knockout punch, followed by his version of the People's Elbow, ultimately securing the win. As the other six competitors fiercely vied for superiority, Rousey took the opportunity to intervene and secure the win by forcing Shotzi to submit. Night 2's third match was the Intercontinental Championship Triple Threat, featuring Gunther defending the title against Sheamus and Drew McIntyre.

Ever since John Cena stepped back, WWE has struggled hard to establish a face of the company. But for now, he looks done with WWE matches in the ring. Since Lesnar’s storyline with Omos is over, the company might not book him into another storyline unless there's a big event. Since his Royal Rumble victory, it looked like the company was now ready to install him as a champion. Rhodes' loss means that the company doesn’t want to risk its ratings knowing the massive popularity Roman Reigns has. Wrestling's biggest night of the year, WrestleMania 39, has ended and surprisingly Roman Reigns has retained the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship belt against Cody Rhodes in the main event.

Cody Rhodes shockingly lost to Roman Reigns at WWE WrestleMania 39 in what felt like a booking decision made by Vince McMahon.

Not only can Rhodes deliver as an on-screen performer both in the ring and on the microphone, but he’s also a great public representative for WWE who can easily be positioned as its most marketable star. A quick scan at the rest of the roster makes it clear that Rhodes, despite minimal opposition to his massive push, was and is the one. Because even if Rhodes ultimately wins the title at some point, it won’t have near the impact that it would have had in the WrestleMania main event. But at WrestleMania 39, WWE made it clear that Reigns is still viewed as the guy. The fans wanted it, and he’s the ideal choice to do it. McIntyre was already solidifed as a top star, and all of the greatness from Reigns, Zayn and The Bloodline after Clash at the Castle like never would have occurred had Reigns already been dethroned. Now, Rhodes is left to regroup and try to dethrone Reigns once again. [WWE’s biggest draw](https://wrestlingheadlines.com/wwe-hall-of-famer-says-cody-rhodes-is-the-current-biggest-draw-for-wwe/) by Hall of Famer Mark Henry, Rhodes has—at the very least—entered that conversation. It needed someone new to be the face of WWE moving forward. But Rhodes, no matter how predictable of a choice to dethrone Reigns, was clearly the best one. An historically dominant leader of The Bloodline, Reigns won the Universal Championship all the way back on August 30, 2020 when he pinned Braun Strowman in a triple threat match at Payback. There was a lot of support for

It feels like the Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes WWE championship match at WrestleMania 39 had the wrong ending.

of all cities on a card with just six matches. 1 contender for the women’s tag team titles. Lashley, after his program with Bray Wyatt disappeared from WWE TV, had to settle for being acknowledged as the Andre The Giant battle royal winner and Knight was nowhere to be found in L.A. He and Balor – who needed to get staples in the ring to close up a huge gash in his head – put on a violent and fun spectacle. But instead of reestablishing The Demon in a big way, it felt more like a pageantry prop to warrant cool entrances for Balor and Edge. He retained the Intercontinental championship in the physical banger of a match we expected from him, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre. I get having Reigns beat him at Extreme Rules with a wonky finish, and I guess the babyface Edge needs to go over inside Hell in Cell to end their feud once and of all. It was almost as if the whole match and build – including have Reigns beat Sami Zayn at Elimination Chamber – was a giant troll job of the audience. It allowed Solo Sikoa – who had been tossed from ringside earlier – to come out of the crowd and give Rhodes the Samoan Spike and set up Reigns to deliver a spear to win. They finally had two babyfaces they could get behind and neither one of them was the one to beat Reigns. The match itself was everything you want from a WrestleMania main event with swing after swing of emotion, starting with seeing Rhodes’ family on screen in WWE for the first time – including his daughter Liberty giving him a hug during his entrance. He can scratch and claw his way back to Reigns again, maybe at SummerSlam or next year’s WrestleMania or WrestleMania 41 if WWE can get The Rock and Reigns in the ring either this summer or in Philadelphia in 2024.

Last night, Roman Reigns shocked the WWE universe by defeating Cody Rhodes and retaining his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

Roman Reigns spoke to the media and, after mocking them for being so surprised, told them that he's just getting started. Now, fans are left to wonder what's next for Roman Reigns and the Bloodline. Last night, Roman Reigns shocked the WWE universe by defeating Cody Rhodes and retaining his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

Thanks to extensive outside interference from Solo Sikoa, Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes and remains the undisputed WWE universal champion.

Rhodes has never won a WWE world title -- and neither has anyone in his storied family, including his father, the legend Dusty Rhodes. The match was physical, highly emotional and ended after Solo Sikoa interfered in the match. Sikoa was previously ejected from ringside, but managed to sneak back in and hit the Samoan Spike on Rhodes.
