Roman Reigns Writes A Different Ending, Defeats Cody Rhodes At WrestleMania 39
Acknowledge him.
Roman Reigns is still the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, defeating Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 39.
The finish saw Rhodes hit two Cross Rhodes and go for a third, but Solo Sikoa returned after being ejected from ringside to hit Rhodes with the Samoan Spike. Reigns would finish Cody off with a spear.
The early portion of the contest was littered with interference by Solo Sikoa, who was eventually ejected from ringside after using the weight belt.
As the bout continued, both men would hit each other with their best shots at Cody survived a superman punch and a spear while Reigns survived a Cross Rhodes and a Pedigree.
Later in the match, the ref was wiped out by a kick from Rhodes after Roman ducked. With no referee, the Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso) ran in to take out Cody with the 1D. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn would make the save and dish some punishment to Reigns with Owens hitting a stunner and Zayn hitting the helluva kick.
