“That’s a Moment” – 4 Months After WrestleMania 39, Triple H Gives a Fitting Reply to All Those Who Questioned Cody Rhodes’ Loss to Roman Reigns

Just one year after his triumphant return at WrestleMania 38, Cody Rhodes skyrocketed to stardom and secured his spot as the main eventer at this year’s WrestleMania 39. However, despite his meteoric rise, Rhodes fell short of fulfilling the fans’ lofty expectations. The aftermath of his loss against Roman Reigns stirred up a storm of criticism.

This led to Triple H, the mastermind behind the questionable booking, finding himself in the hot seat. Fans had every right to question the decision back then. But now, after four months of speculation, Triple H has finally fired back at his detractors with a fitting reply.

Triple H fires back at doubters

In a sizzling moment at the SummerSlam press conference, Triple H made some remarks aimed squarely at those who dared to doubt Cody Rhodes’ booking at WrestleMania 39. With an air of confidence, Triple H highlighted the incredible growth and progress Rhodes had made within the WWE over the past few months.

He passionately defended the American Nightmare’s position and justified his booking choices. Triple H left no room for doubt, firmly asserting that Rhodes is now a much-improved and deserving contender.

Furthermore, ‘The Game’ entertained the journalists during the press conference with a remarkable anecdote from the event. He proudly recounted the rare moment of mutual respect shared between Cody Rhodes and ‘The Beast’ Brock Lesnar. 

He said- “Name the amount of people that Brock Lesnar has gotten up after going through a match like that, shook their hand, and pulled them in to hug them before walking out. I know Brock; I work with him all the time. That was a **** for me. So when Cody realizes what happened, it’s a moment. 

He also added- “And if that doesn’t tell you where Cody is at, where this journey has taken him, where this journey has taken him from what many people questioned at WrestleMania to where he is right now like that rise just continues to be phenomenal. He delivers at all turns. So it’s awesome.”

After the tragedy of WrestleMania, Triple H claimed that this victory represented Rhodes’ progressive climb inside the organization. The Hunter’s response left no doubt that he stands by his decisions and firmly supports Cody Rhodes.

Rhodes is a worthy contender for Roman Reigns’ title

Despite facing a challenging setback in his bout with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, Cody Rhodes wasn’t ready to bow out of the spotlight. Instead, he ignited a fierce rivalry with none other than ‘The Beast Incarnate’, Brock Lesnar. Now, after his win at SummerSlam, he is in the perfect place to take a shot at Roman Reigns’ title.

At WrestleMania 39, in a sudden twist of events, Solo Sikoa made a surprising comeback and delivered a crafty Samoan Spike. This had caught ‘The American Nightmare’ off guard, thanks to a little trick orchestrated by Paul Heyman. In the blink of an eye, Reigns held onto his title, securing one of his most talked-about and disputed title victories.

However, fans of Cody Rhodes need not despair, as WWE appears to have something grand in store for ‘The American Nightmare’. The comments made by the creative minds at WWE during the post-show conference hint at exciting developments in the works for the superstar.
