Top WWE Star Feels ‘Salt In The Wound’ About Cody Rhodes Vs. Roman Reigns At WrestleMania 39

WWE

A top WWE star has revealed their feeling about the upcoming Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns match at WrestleMania 39.

Speaking to Sports Guys Talking Wrestling, Seth “Freakin” Rollins spoke about the main event match, saying:

“I don’t know the answer to that question man (if Cody Rhodes is the one to dethrone Roman Reigns). It’s very hard for me to look at that match unbiased, I think. I want that match, I want that spot, I want that title and to not have it, there’s a lot of salt in the wound having to talk about it so, it’s difficult for me to analyze.”

Rhodes and Rollins have clashed before, initially at WrestleMania 38 where Rhodes returned to WWE and would lose to Rhodes again at WrestleMania Backlash in May 2022.

Despite suffering from a torn pectoral muscle that would sideline him until Royal Rumble in 2023, Rhodes would face Rollins again at Hell in a Cell in June 2022.

Rollins would go on to analyse the upcoming match itself, stating:

“You’ve got Roman Reigns who’s on an incredible run but you’ve got Cody Rhodes who’s riding a lot of momentum and so, when those two guys meet, if that is the match, could be Sami Zayn in that spot, who knows? We’ll see after (Elimination) Chamber.”

Reflecting back on his own reaction to the match, Rollins concluded:

“It’s gonna be a generational main event of WrestleMania. Again, hard for me to feel any way but slighted by it so, that is what it is.

“But, I’ll take a page out of Renee’s book (Rollins referring to Special Olympics athlete) and I will support, I will support my family, my brothers and regardless of the outcome, it’s not about winning or losing, it’s how you play the game.

“It’s gonna be an incredible main event of WrestleMania no matter what it is.”

Sami Zayn faces Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Elimination Chamber on February 18.

At that Premium Live Event, Rollins will be challenging for the WWE United States Championship against current champion Austin Theory, along with Johnny Gargano, Montez Ford, Bronson Reed and Damian Priest, in the Elimination Chamber match itself.
