Cody Rhodes acknowledges Roman Reigns.
At WrestleMania XL Sunday, Cody Rhodes ended the historic reign of Roman Reigns to capture to Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Reigns held the WWE Universal Title for 1,316 days and the WWE Championship for 737 days.
Speaking at the WrestleMania XL press conference, Cody commented on Roman's reign.
"A lot of people asked me, ‘what’s it going to feel like if you can beat the Tribal Chief, if you can beat Roman Reigns?’ I was honest in saying, ‘I don’t know.’ I’ve been able to be in the main event. There is a difference between being in the main event and being THE main event. Roman Reigns, obviously, he and I are not good friends, but that’s the greatest championship reign in sports and entertainment. As much as I don’t agree with his style and the way he went about being a champion, I still hope I can be half the champion that he was for WWE, as a leader, as the quarterback," said Rhodes.
