Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell shared his thoughts on Cody Rhodes’ recent SmackDown appearance, highlighting the crucial support provided by Seth Rollins and Jey Uso.
During the confrontation with Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman, Rhodes faced a potential threat as Reigns had reinforcements in Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso. However, Rollins and Jey Uso’s timely arrival prevented the situation from escalating further.
Speaking on Smack Talk, Mantell praised Rollins and Jey Uso for their foresight, suggesting they outsmarted Rhodes and anticipated the situation.
He speculated that Rhodes may have underestimated Reigns’ intentions, leading to his precarious position.
“Maybe he was outsmarted. Maybe he didn’t tell those two to be there, but they’re smarter than he is. They showed up. They could see it coming. Did you see the look on Cody’s face? He was like, ‘Oh my God, oh my God.’ And I’m thinking if he made this up, wouldn’t he know they were gonna be there? I’m putting too much thought in this sh*t, stop me!”
Reigns’ actions underscored the ongoing power struggle between him and Rhodes, emphasizing the challenging road ahead for the number one contender.
As the rivalry intensifies, fans await eagerly to see if Rhodes can overcome the odds and emerge victorious against the formidable Bloodline.
The unfolding drama promises an exciting showdown at WrestleMania, where Rhodes will face the ultimate test of his resilience against Reigns and his allies.
