Cody Rhodes has a choice to make.
'The American Nightmare' kicked off the second hour of the January 29 edition of Raw, much to the approval of the Tampa Bay crowd. Rhodes took a victory lap around the ring to celebrate his Royal Rumble win before noting that he needed the fans on Saturday, insinuating that he had a rough day.
Seth Rollins interrupted Rhodes, first stating that Rhodes does deserve his Royal Rumble win, as he's worked his ass off. Rollins then bluntly stated that Rhodes will be making a mistake if he chooses to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
Rollins went on to explain that he took issue with Rhodes' comments during the Royal Rumble media scrum, where he said he was the guy in WWE. Rollins explained that Rhodes and Roman Reigns aren't the guys in the company, as that title belongs to him.
Rollins also tried to convince Rhodes to face him at WrestleMania by noting that they have made towns together for nearly two years now, while Reigns has been at home.
Rhodes took a moment before telling Rollins that he respects him and that he'll think about his decision.
