Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39 is shaping up to be one of the biggest blockbusters WWE has held at The Show of Shows in several years.
For the third consecutive year, The Tribal Chief will walk in as the defending champion. However, his historic reign has never been in more jeopardy than it is right now.
Rhodes has been riding a wave of momentum since returning from injury at the Royal Rumble in January and triumphantly winning the 30-man Battle Royal. He, more than every other opponent Reigns has faced up to this point, makes the most sense to take the title and cement his spot atop the WWE mountain.Cody Rhodes recently engaged in a memorable promo war with Roman Reigns on this week's RAW. The Tribal Chief poked fun at The American Nightmare for running away when he "couldn't get over in the promotion he started." Cody fired back at the champion by exposing his fears of a growing conflict within The Bloodline.
Rhodes is set to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39. During his recent interview with Stadium Astro, The American Nightmare discussed a special guest referee potentially officiating the title match at The Grandest Stage of Them All.
He named Triple H and Seth Rollins as top picks for the role of a special guest referee if added to his title match against Roman Reigns.
"I think that Triple H would be a wonderful referee for this situation. And I think his current position, obviously, that would prevent him from that station. But another really good one who can't stand either Roman or myself is Seth Rollins. And I think Seth Rollins would be forced to by his own bias towards us both to call it down the middle. So that's another one that could be really interesting," said Rhodes.
