How Cody Rhodes Really Feels About Roman Reigns

Cody Rhodes has been linked with Roman Reigns for two years in WWE but how does The American Nightmare really feel about The Tribal Chief?

Cody Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 40 to finish his story and send the thousands of fans watching in Lincoln Financial Field into raptures.

Reigns was the hated Tribal Chief looking to deny Rhodes his chance at history for so long but now with Reigns absent and Solo Sikoa spinning The Bloodline out of control, WWE fans are chanting “We want Roman” – something that at one point seemed unthinkable in the company.

Cody Rhodes has admitted he doesn’t like Seth Rollins – and Rollins was the man who teamed up with Rhodes at WrestleMania to take on Roman Reigns and The Rock, so how does Rhodes really feel about Reigns?

Cody Rhodes Wants To Sit & Talk With Roman Reigns

Speaking on The Pivot Podcast, Cody Rhodes admitted he doesn’t dislike Roman Reigns and says given their family backgrounds, they both understand the pressures that come with the wrestling business if you want to be on top:

I think Roman and I are great opponents. I don’t dislike Roman and I think he doesn’t dislike me but when we see ourselves on the poster together, we get it. I’m supposed to beat you, you’re supposed to beat me, you’re supposed to be the benchmark, I want to be the benchmark.

I’d love to sit with Roman at one point. We’ve never had that, to sit and talk. Even if we were to watch something back, if WWE organized it where we watch WrestleMania.

Just because our families have been linked for so long, it’s kind of fate that put us together. I’m not a big believer in anything but there’s that element of destiny and fate with him and I going against each other.
