The time has almost come for Cody Rhodes to have his long-awaited match against Roman Reigns. After weeks of sledging each other on the mic, they will clash on Sunday in the main event of WrestleMania 39. However, ahead of that ‘The American Nightmare’ took one last chance to take a dig at ‘The Head of the Table’ on SmackDown.
This was the fitting response to Reigns by Rhodes for all the things the Undisputed WWE Champion said on a previous SmackDown episode.

On the latest SmackDown before WrestleMania 39, Rhodes cut an exhilarating promo. He took a shot at Reigns for his remarks of telling Cody couldn’t get himself over in AEW and ran back to WWE. The 37-year-old, gave insights into how much WWE invested in ‘The Big Dog’ for years until Reigns rose to stardom.
Rhodes said, “And speaking of our champion, the last we stood face to face, he laid the titles down in front of me and told me I couldn’t even be the guy in my own company. Which is odd, because Roman Reigns is an 11 years tens of millions of investment of the behalf of WWE and telling you he is the guy. And it only started paying off in year eight.”
After The Shield split, Reigns went on his own. It was hard for him to get over as a singles competitor even after he won the Royal Rumble and The Rock came to put him over the WWE universe. Despite WWE’s best attempts to push him as a face, fans largely rejected the idea.
Nevertheless, he found next-level success by turning heel in 2020 and has established himself as a top name in not only WWE but the world of pro wrestling.

The former ‘Dashing Rhodes’ digged deep to find something on Reigns to give a top-notch response for his promo a couple of weeks ago.
The American Nightmare claims to be the new ‘Head of the Table’
Rhodes came to WWE for one main reason which is to win the WWE Championship. He left AEW last year because of Tony Khan’s unexpected behavior and returned home to WWE.
Since day one of his re-debut in WWE, the former Intercontinental Champion has stated to fulfill his father’s dream. In the same SmackDown promo, Rhodes claimed he will defeat Reigns at WrestleMania and be the new Head of the Table along with holding both titles.
