Sami on his place at WrestleMania taken away by Cody

During his interview with Mark Andrews: My Love Letter to Wrestling, Mark asked Sami if he ever thought that he could be against Roman in WrestleMania 39. Here is what he has to say:

“So there was a time period going from Survivor Series building into the Rumble, and especially right before the Rumble, and right after the Rumble, where I 100 percent thought it could go to me and Roman at ‘Mania, and it would be the best story. But that wasn’t in the cards.”

“It’s very hard to have a plan and stick with it. There are all these other variables. Well, a variable popped up, which is Cody’s return.”

“But again, it was a good thing. There was no rejection. He was widely accepted…[the fans] were happy to see him win the Royal Rumble. They wanted him to dethrone Roman Reigns. And actually, those stories even rubbed up on each other, where Cody kind of rubbed up on us, and we were rubbing up on him. And the whole thing was helping each other. Everybody was lifting everybody. That’s when wrestling is done right; everybody is elevating one another.”

Sami made the highest quality of impact with his time and role during his time in “The Bloodline”. Sami also talked about how WWE built trust with their fans all around the globe with The Bloodline story plot. This is the reason why people around the globe didn’t reject WWE’s decision to put Cody Rhodes against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39.

“I do think, strictly from a story perspective, it would have been great to see Cody put a bow on it. But it’s still building…we build to these things that appear to be these culminations, but there’s always a TV show next week.”

“Even me, I’m like, oh yeah, of course, Cody’s got to win…but you kind of got to hold on to that trust. Okay well, I’m a fan, I’m invested and I trust that they’ll pay this off properly at the right time.”

It would be interesting to see how would Cody Rhodes responds to this. What do you guys think about what Sami said about his spot being taken away? What do you think of The Tribal Chief being at the top for 3 years almost nearing 1000 days now?
