“There’s Been Great Hype for This Match”: AEW Star Heaps Massive Praise on the Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes Recent Blockbuster Promo

The Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes feud is shaping up nicely before their eventual clash at WrestleMania 39. The champion and the challenger have had limited interaction so far. But whenever the two have come face to face the ensuing segments have been nothing short of gold. 

The epic rivalry has captured the imagination of the WWE universe. Not only fans but also performers have been left impressed by the amazing storytelling on offer. And recently an AEW star has heaped massive praise on both Reigns and Rhodes’ recent promo on Monday Night Raw.

AEW star discusses Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes’s rivalry

AEW star Matt Hardy who has been a part of the business for a long time knows a thing or two about building up a massive encounter. He recently revealed in his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast that he loved The American Nightmare and Reigns’ verbal battle on the flagship show

The former WWE tag team champion said, “I got to watch back this morning, was doing cardio the Cody and Roman promo which I liked a whole lot and I loved the fact that Roman in a roundabout way mentioned AEW, talked about Cody leaving WWE starting the company going there.“

“And the story was great and I thought Cody’s mental gymnastics towards him trying to play mind games with him was done really well also, and I think there’s been great hype for this match,” added Matt Hardy.

Every time The Tribal Chief and Rhodes step into the ring the spectators can be assured of a masterclass on the mic. It has the feel of an unstoppable force coming against an immovable object. And the audience is hooked, and judging by his remarks, Hardy is too.

The WWE also deserves great plaudits for hyping up the rivalry by having minimal exchanges between the champion and the challenger.

A WWE Hall of Famer also echoes the same sentiment as he believes both Reigns and Rhodes should have very less interactions before their eventual main event match.

Ric Flair expressed his opinions on the mouth-watering clash in his ‘To Be The Man’ podcast. He said, “I don’t think that’s about to heat up and actually the less interaction they have, the better.” And the Stamford-based promotion has obliged by finding interesting ways to freshen up the rivalry.

The immaculate use of ‘Special Counsel’ Paul Heyman in badmouthing Rhodes has been great. Whenever Reigns is not around the ‘Wise Man’ is more than capable to do the heavy loading.

Matt Hardy is not the only one who has been left impressed by the intriguing back-and-forth between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. The chemistry between the two even on the mic is quite visible.

One can only wonder what will be the outcome when Rhodes finally collides with Reigns come April 2nd. Do you agree with Matt Hardy on the Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes feud? Let us know in the comments.
