Many wrestling fans and people in the wrestling world expected Cody Rhodes to end Roman Reigns’s lengthy title run at WrestleMania last April.
Rhodes had a great story in that he was not happy with his status in WWE, left the company, dominated the independent scene, helped start AEW and then returned to WWE a monster fan favorite. Oh, and he also happens to be the son of one of the most legendary pro wrestlers of all time in Dusty Rhodes.
But Reigns got the 1-2-3 on Rhodes at WrestleMania, and the WWE universe was shocked. And upset. Very upset.
