It would not be an overstatement to say that many in the WWE Universe are rooting for Cody Rhodes to beat Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. Ever since The American Nightmare returned from his injury and won the 2023 men’s Royal Rumble match, he has become the hot favorite in the promotion as he looks to complete his redemption arc.

And it looks like the reigning United States Champion is one of those who want to see Rhodes dethrone Reigns. Let’s dive deep and find out why Austin Theory believes that the 2023 Royal Rumble winner can end the reign of The Tribal Chief.

Austin Theory was the special guest on the recent episode of Chris Van Vliet’s show. During the interview, the show host asked Theory about his preference on which wrestler would he like to work with down the road.

In response to this question, the Raw brand superstar chose The Big Dog for his answer. Plus, he also stated that the Rhodes and Reigns rivalry interests him really much. He stated that whenever somebody asks him who he thinks would win the main event of WrestleMania 39, The American Nightmare always pops up in his mind.

He added that The Head of the Table made a big mistake by bringing his rival’s father into his feud. The Undisputed Champion has constantly brought up how he was a Dusty Rhodes student and how The American Dream “never talked” about his own son.

“I think Roman Reigns bringing that in and saying hey, your dad taught me. And he never talked about you and he didn’t teach you anything. That’s gotta really take a man to a deep place when that’s his root, his fire,” Theory said.

The 25-year-old believes, Reigns insulting his WrestleMania challenger with such bitter words, must boil the latter’s blood. And he believes this might be one of the biggest reasons that will motivate Rhodes to put down Reigns.

A recent report suggests that The Tribal Chief vs The American Nightmare match can land any outcome. As per the latest news, WWE has still not decided on the outcome of the main event of WrestleMania night 2.

This has left The American Nightmare fans somewhat disappointed. They wanted to see him win at The Grandest Stage of Them All. Still, when it comes to WWE, one can never be certain what to expect.

The WWE Universe is aware of the fact that the Stamford-based promotion often surprises its audience on occasions like this and gets them debating afterward.
