Tonight on WWE Friday Night SmackDown, Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes met face-to-face for the first time.
Rhodes talked about what he’s done over the last 7 years, including getting 10,000 people for his “indie show,” a reference to All In. Reigns mocked Rhodes for never headling WrestleMania or winning a major WWE title.
Reigns said he’s been groomed by how own father and by Cody’s father Dusty Rhodes. Reigns said that Dusty said nothing about his son Cody. “He never said anything ever about you,” Reigns said. Reigns said he misses Dusty and while he’s not here anymore, if there’s anything Dusty didn’t teach Cody, Roman will do it.
Cody says that he has to exist and the only way he can exist is by beating Roman at WrestleMania. There was no physicality and the segment ended with both men shaking hands.
