Despite the kayfabe heat between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns that has stretched over a year, it seems like the wrestlers don’t have bad blood against each other in real life. The feud between some of the top WWE stars is coming to a close tonight during WrestleMania XL. The biggest tag team match in WWE history is still due and a surprise act of class from Rhodes is gathering fans’ attention.
Recently, fans spotted a small detail showcasing Cody Rhodes’ generosity. Amidst a heated feud, the former AEW EVP has seemingly decided to show a wholesome gesture to his opponents, whom he will be wrestling on night one.

In the days before WrestleMania XL, The American Nightmare was seen adorning a new, stylish watch. While talking to Ariel Helwani on a recent episode of The MMA Hour, the wrestling talent showed off his expensive Rolex, which may have been priced over $15K. He also revealed that he didn’t only buy it for himself, but also for Seth Rollins.
The new tag team partners are currently rocking the same timepiece. However, fans noticed that not only just Rollins, but Rhodes might have gifted the same watch to Roman Reigns and The Rock as well.
During the Hall of Fame ceremony this year before Mania, the Samoan cousins were allegedly seen sporting the same Rolex that Rhodes claims to have bought for himself and The Aerialist. Fans online believe that they were gifted this precious accessory by The American Nightmare, potentially as an appreciation for being involved in the biggest storyline of his wrestling career.
After realizing the possibility that it could have been a gift to the heels from Rhodes, fans appreciated the sweet gesture on ‘X’.

An internet user predicted that this could have been a gesture foreshadowing Rhodes’ gratitude toward the “Final Boss” and his cousin for letting him have his upcoming grand victory at WrestleMania XL.
Cody’s going over. This type of gesture definitely seems like a thank you to all involved for letting him have his moment and to honor Dusty.

This explains the gift and makes it make more sense. The Rolexes are an accessory that binds the four top stars together as they make history.
Of course they’re making history together

A doubt that might raise among the fans after reading through is why Rhodes didn’t announce that he gifted the Rolexes to both of his opponents as well. The reason could be that the former Bullet Club member did not wish to break kayfabe ahead of the biggest WrestleMania ever.
