Cody Rhodes says he and Roman Reigns did not speak ahead of their segment at Georgia Tech.
On the September 20th episode of WWE SmackDown, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns met at Georgia Tech to discuss their upcoming tag team match against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at WWE Bad Blood. The cinematic segment sparked plenty of buzz heading into the premium live event.
Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, Cody Rhodes commented on his segment with Roman Reigns at Georgia Tech.
“You’re talking about Roman Reigns, you’re talking about myself, walking into Bobby Dodd [Stadium], on that field, just being in on that campus, I grew up in Georgia, I know every inch of that state, but that’s one place I don’t know very well because that is where smart people went to school. We didn’t shake [hands], we didn’t shake. We agreed, being a wrestling fan, you know there’s always this ‘will they coexist thing?’ when you get the odd couple tag teams, who’s gonna turn on who? Whatever it may be. This was a good way of setting up, that’s not what this match is about. We have agreed to coexist. We did not need to shake, and I wish people could have been on the ground there to see how real it really is with myself and my tag team partner at Bad Blood, we stood on opposite sides of the field for all of the pre-shoot as they were getting the lights and everything ready. No discussion whatsoever, no awareness of what the other might say to the other, and we just walked across the field, met at the 50, ran it straight through, and hat’s off to Mr. Heyman, JB [Jeremy Borash], and Rob Fee because they put this thing together in such a cinematic way. It should have gotten credits. It really came out unique," Rhodes said.
