Cody Rhodes has called on management to make a big change in WWE following WrestleMania 39 on April 1 & 2.
With Rhodes facing the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns on what appears to be night two of the event, The American Nightmare has spoken about the state of the unified championship.
Speaking on the Bart Winkler Show, Rhodes explained:
“What it will take for the titles to eventually be separated is, this happened in boxing years ago, maybe whoever is coming out of WrestleMania…obviously, I want to say with the most confidence in the world that it’s going to be me, but maybe who leaves WrestleMania, it’s time for perhaps management to step in and make that call so that you never put it on potentially me or potentially Roman Reigns to say, ‘I want this one more than the other.’
“Of course, the fan in me, I want my hands on the WWE Championship, its the one that [Dusty Rhodes] never got, but it would take someone telling me, ‘we have to go this way, both brands need a title.’
“Once you have them, [Roman Reigns] threw them down in front of me the other day and I felt my heart jump.
“For real, how sincerely I love these title belts that I’ve never touched. That’s a good time for maybe management to step in. If they did, I’d be all about it”
The WWE Championship and the WWE Universal Championship were unified when Roman Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 in 2022.
Reigns is set to appear on the March 20 episode of WWE Raw.
