I raise children and dominate the wrestling game," Reigns added. He saw the man I would become, opposed to what I was looking at in the mirror.

Cody Rhodes jokes about the line Roman Reigns dropped about AEW, recalls his WrestleMania 29 match being cut and talks his pec injury.

I think that’s the year he went in the Hall of Fame or so and he’s walking back and he’s like, ‘Excuse me young man’ so I had to shimmy my legs to the side for these 50 people that he had with him to go by. So I went and sat under the stage and I’m looking down, I felt this foot kick my foot and I look up and it was Donald Trump because he was walking back. The match was scrapped and the aftermath for the women in the match was recorded for Total Divas. I wanna be in on that but here was the thing that people don’t know, our match got cut. Diddy too because he had a musical performance and it was real long and I thought, we could have done the match in the beginning of this freaking musical thing but either way, so, afterwards, I stare a hole through him, I’m very upset. So it did get cut at the 11th hour but after some Jesse Ventura-style conspiracy theory on it, I don’t think the match was ever supposed to happen, because they were filming Total Divas at the time and that was a big plot thread. I think I was up to the challenge. An opportunity to win this thing that the old man couldn’t win and the thing I could never win so… Back in 2013, Cody Rhodes was supposed to be on the WrestleMania 29 card. He theorizes that the match was never supposed to happen and it being ‘cut’ was for Total Divas. The only reason I know how to field it, know how to navigate it and I think had I stuck around, you know, I don’t recall in terms of every step of the direction, I think if I stuck around, no pec injury, I think we’d still be here. To me, I felt like it was always gonna be me.

The Tribal Chief also reminisced how Cody Rhodes' father Dusty Rhodes helped him in his career growth. He saw the man I would become opposed to what I was looking at in the mirror. Reigns is WWE Universal Champion for more than 900 days now since winning the title by defeating "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman in a Triple Threat Match at WWE Payback in 2020.

I’ve lived with that and carried that with me anytime I have doubts,” said Reigns of Dusty Rhodes. He saw the man I would become opposed to what I was looking at in the mirror. However, Rhodes has been riding momentum since returning to WWE last year, and conventional wisdom is that Reigns will drop the title. The T-shirts marketed by WWE evoke comparisons to “Scarface” with a black background and red font. “The reason why is because the story is of a soldier so great, he could not be stopped,” Heyman said of Kurtz. “There was always that struggle, and I don’t blame them,” Reigns said of his relationship with fans. When Reigns returned to WWE events in August 2020, not only had he found a way to tap into becoming a heel, but it was with Paul Heyman by his side. “When these ideas in real-time started happening, it became a chain reaction, a domino effect,” Reigns said. He added the WWE belt by defeating Lesnar at last year’s WrestleMania to become the Undisputed Champion. Reigns entered WWE in 2012 but was a polarizing figure among fans for a long time because majority owner Vince McMahon had tried to position him as a champion and a babyface (good guy). “It feels good to come from a wrestling family that has been performers for a long time. That has also made Reigns a beloved and respected heel (bad guy).

They can say what they want. They can all say what they want. Asked if there was any jealousy from his peers, Roman said, "I don't make myself available to it. 2000, or it's 'No, no, no,' there is something that is pulling me, 'I have to do this, I have to create this, I have to put this on camera. I have to build this dynamic or rivalry.' If something like that comes along, then that will motivate me as well," he said. I still feel like I can probably push to definitely 45 if I wanted to, I don't need to, but really it's about what is available, the art.

This represents the first time Reigns has been an underdog in a world championship match since his reign began in August of 2020. WWE loves its milestones, and Reigns is just 61 days from surpassing 1,000 days as Universal champion. And while Rhodes remains an overwhelming favorite based on storyline, oddsmakers, national and locker room polls, nothing is guaranteed in this business. The United States of America has joined oddsmakers in its lean toward The American Nightmare as 62% of the country feels Rhodes will defeat Reigns. Reigns has not been pinned or submitted in close to 1,000 days, and Cody Rhodes represents Reigns’ stiffest competition, especially if you ask the oddsmakers. During a series of WrestleMania weekend interviews, WWE and NXT Superstars Bianca Belair, Carmelo Hayes, Legado Del Fantasma, Valhalla, Ivar, Zoey Stark and Grayson Waller all picked Cody Rhodes to walk away as Undisputed WWE Universal champion.

Before he takes on Cody Rhodes in the main event of Night 2 of WrestleMania 39, Roman Reigns had one last message for his opponent.

“Back against the wall. World is against us. Rhodes might have the momentum on his side, but Reigns isn’t backing down. The ‘Head of the Table,’ will surely address the Usos’ loss. Reigns has been the Universal Champion for the past 945 days. As [Reigns prepares to](https://clutchpoints.com/wwe-hall-of-famer-has-a-scorching-roman-reigns-take-ahead-of-wrestlemania-39) put the Undisputed WWE Universial Championship on the line against Rhodes, the Tribal Chief had one last message for his competitor.
