Cody Rhodes: There Will Be No Shred Of Jealousy If Jey Uso Dethrones Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns has been WWE Universal Champion for nearly three years and Undisputed WWE Universal Champion for over a year. 

Reigns’ run has reached legendary status as he’s held the title for over 1000 days. 

Many fans thought Cody Rhodes would be the man to end Roman’s reign at WrestleMania 39, but the story was not finished on that night. 

“I think whoever is in the position who pins Roman Reigns and leaves with the WWE Undisputed Championship, it’s almost a moment that I can’t tell you how that will feel or I can’t tell you how that will look until we see it, because I think it’s just starting to dawn on people how significant it could be,” Rhodes told Raj Prashad of Uproxx. “If that is Jey Uso, hats off to him, amazing. Not a shred of jealousy in my body. That is as pure and good a man as you can find. If it ended up a situation where I was able to get back and it was me, I wouldn’t be prepared for that onslaught of feeling. Because fans, we feel. I’m a fan as well, so when I’m watching him and this unbelievable reign that he’s put down, it’s like this conqueror of old. It’s now a time period. Roman has a timeline, essentially. This is the Roman era because of how long he’s held on to these things. It will be very significant and, gosh, the man who does it. That man is a special, special person in the record books.”

Jey Uso pinned Roman Reigns in a tag team bout at WWE Money in the Bank, and he will challenge Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title in a Tribal Combat match at WWE SummerSlam. 

Cody will face Brock Lesnar at WWE SummerSlam.
