Reigns Focused on Defending His Title Against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39
Roman Reigns, the current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, is preparing to defend his title against Cody Rhodes on Night 2 of WrestleMania 39. Reigns has made it clear in recent interviews that he is focused on his upcoming match and aims to win it. However, during a recent interview with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, he also took a shot at his former Shield partner, Seth Rollins.
Rollins Wants to Face Reigns at WrestleMania 40
Rollins himself is currently preparing for his tenth WrestleMania where he will take on Logan Paul. However, Rollins already has his sights set on WrestleMania 40 and is hoping to face Reigns in a marquee match. In a recent interview with Daniel Cormier, Rollins listed Reigns as one of the best wrestlers in the world and praised his progression as a character and storyteller.
The Real-Life Heat Between Rollins and Rhodes
Rollins has also mentioned wanting to face Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40. This isn’t just because they have history together, but because Rollins feels that Rhodes didn’t deserve the main event spot at ‘Mania and that he should have had it instead. This comment has caused some real-life heat between the two wrestlers, which could lead to interesting storylines in the future.
During his interview with Cormier, Rollins also mentioned Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn as wrestlers he respects and has worked with in the past. He also had high praise for his wife, Becky Lynch, who he believes is one of the best wrestlers to ever do it and revolutionary in her own right. Additionally, Rollins believes that GUNTHER is a special talent who is on the cusp of becoming one of the best. He also mentioned Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega as wrestlers with all the tools to be among the best.
Reigns Takes a Shot at Rollins
Despite Rollins’ praise for Reigns, the latter wrestler didn’t hold back during his interview with Helwani. When asked about Rollins’ recent comments about wanting a match against him at WrestleMania 39, Reigns simply stated that Rollins and others would take his deal if they could get it, but they can’t. It’s unclear how Rollins will react to this comment, but it’s possible that their ongoing rivalry could continue to heat up.
In conclusion, both Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins are preparing for their respective matches at WrestleMania 39 and 40. While Reigns is focused on defending his title against Cody Rhodes, Rollins has his sights set on facing Reigns in a marquee match next year. The real-life heat between Rollins and Rhodes also adds an interesting dynamic to their potential match at WrestleMania 40. As always in professional wrestling, anything can happen, and fans will be eagerly anticipating these matchups.
