Roman Reigns is the hottest commodity in the wrestling business right now and rightly so. He has been the Undisputed Universal Champion for nearly 900 days and counting and is all set to take on the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39.

Roman has been having classic matches after classic matches. From his matches against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul to his enthralling match against Sami Zayn, Reigns has been wowing crowds at each time. Added to that, the drama between the Bloodline and Sami Zayn has only served to elevate the Tribal Chief to the next level.

Recently, reports came out about what the plans exactly are for Roman post WrestleMania 39 and according to them, he will be in and around the title no matter what happens at Mania. A tweet from Xero News has revealed, “As of recently, WWE are currently deciding whether to go with Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship or simply one of them. For Backlash, or Rhodes, Sami, KO vs. Reigns, Jimmy, Jey – non titles at Backlash.”

This should not come as a surprise at all as the Reigns is the undisputed face of the company and having him in and around the title scene will only help the WWE in the short and the long term.

Seth Rollins had this to say about Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes

The anticipated WrestleMania main event encounter between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns is a particularly sensitive subject for one WWE superstar who has a long history with both guys. During a recent appearance on the “Sports Guys Talking Wrestling” podcast, former world champion Seth Rollins discussed his resentment of the upcoming Undisputed WWE Universal Championship fight between Reigns and Rhodes.

When asked who he believes is the favorite to win, Rollins made his opinions known. “I don’t know the answer to that question,” Rollins said. “It’s very hard for me to look at that match unbiased. 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.”

The four-time WWE world champion did agree that “you’re looking at a rock and a hard place” when comparing Reigns with Rhodes. And Rollins would know best, having faced Rhodes at WrestleMania last year, while he’s had years of friendship and treachery with Reigns, including. Rollins turning on his old Shield colleague and cashing in his “Money In The Bank” contract during his WrestleMania 31 bout against Brock Lesnar.

“You’ve got Roman Reigns, who’s on an incredible run, but you’ve got Cody Rhodes who’s riding a lot of momentum,” Rollins pointed out. “So, when those two guys meet –- if that is the match, could be Sami Zayn in that spot, who knows, we’ll see after the [Elimination] Chamber — it’s going to be a generational main event at WrestleMania. Again, it’s hard for me to feel any way but slighted by it. But that is what it is.”
