The American Nightmare is ready to face Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship titles. The promo from last week’s SmackDown indicates that the match is going to be the biggest match at The Grandest Stage of Them All. Moreover, it seems Cody Rhodes emerges as the triumphant hero who will dethrone The Trial Chief.
WrestleMania 39 will also have ‘The Champ’ feature in a match for a championship against a young star.

Well, Cena might have raised Rhodes’ hand to showcase the WWE’s next major star, but he himself won’t be sidelined at the grandest stage. After saying no multiple times, he accepted Austin Theory’s challenge for a US Title match.
Moreover, while slamming the US Champion, he also showed the world why he is the top dog. In his promo, Cena ripped Theory as the ‘A-Town Down’ star had nothing to say over it.
