Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns have headlined the last two WrestleManias against each other, and both have been a big reason for WWE's growth and success over the last two years.
Rhodes is now at the top of the mountain as the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion, but Reigns is back in the fold after returning at WWE SummerSlam, his first appearance since losing to Cody at WrestleMania XL.
With Roman being back, Cody was by James from Gorilla Position at the WWE Bash in Berlin press conference if there is any concern about not being the main event.
"If I’m speaking honestly, they are not insecurities and not concerns, but I would be naive to not acknowledge, no pun intended, the challenge. I love this. I had a lifetime of experience to get ready for this. That’s the biggest challenge in front of me in terms of ‘what’s the new task?’ The idea of being the poster boy at all, my gosh, that’s an amazing feeling. That’s special. It will end at some point, but I will certainly put up every bit of a fight. It’s not just the OTC Roman Reigns. It’s John Cena’s farewell run. I’m up there in very rare air with special characters. People like CM Punk. It’s a great problem to have for WWE. Strictly speaking, (Roman Reigns) and myself, we like that. We have pitted ourselves against each other, not just at WrestleMania in the main event, but in every aspect behind the scenes too. Not in a dishonest way. In an honest way. The better man is going to win. That’s a good problem to have," said Rhodes.
Reigns has not wrestled since his return to TV at WWE SummerSlam.
Rhodes successfully defended his Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens at WWE Bash In Berlin.
