Cody Rhodes: After WrestleMania Would Be A Good Time For Management To Step In And Split The Titles

Since WrestleMania 38, the WWE Championship and WWE Universal Championship have become one thanks to a unification bout between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. 

Reigns was victorious in the match and is recognized as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Reigns still carries both titles with him, though there have been no signs on television that the belts would be split. 

Speaking on the Bart Winkler Show, Cody was asked about potentially splitting the championships. 

“What it will take for the titles to eventually be separated is, this happened in boxing years ago, maybe whoever is coming out of WrestleMania…obviously, I want to say with the most confidence in the world that it’s going to be me, but maybe who leaves WrestleMania, it’s time for perhaps management to step in and make that call so that you never put it on potentially me or potentially Roman Reigns to say, ‘I want this one more than the other.’ Of course, the fan in me, I want my hands on the WWE Championship, its the one that [Dusty Rhodes] never got, but it would take someone telling me, ‘we have to go this way, both brands need a title.’ Once you have them, [Roman Reigns] threw them down in front of me the other day and I felt my heart jump. For real, how sincerely I love these title belts that I’ve never touched. That’s a good time for maybe management to step in. If they did, I’d be all about it,” Cody said.

Cody will challenge Roman for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39.
