Former WWE employee Tommy Carlucci has shared his insights into Roman Reigns’ strategy for his upcoming match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL.
With Rhodes earning the opportunity by winning the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble Match, anticipation is high for their showdown for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
Reflecting on Reigns’ dominance and longevity as champion, Carlucci suggested that the Tribal Chief might be aiming to surpass Hulk Hogan’s record championship reign of 1,474 days.
Carlucci emphasized Reigns’ ego and ambition, noting that extending his reign would solidify his claim as one of the greatest champions in WWE history.
“[Do you think that is something that Roman Reigns in some way, shape, or form, is advocating for so he could call himself long-term the greatest Heavyweight Champion or WWE Champion of all time?] I’m gonna answer that really quick, hell yeah. Because it’s the ego, Coach. And by the way, he would want to go to September to be undefeated because then he would beat Bruno (Sammartino) out, the all-time champion. So, egos are large, Coach. And he makes you know that when he’s cutting promos. So, hell yes, he would love to extend it,”
Tommy Carlucci expressed.
As the WrestleMania XL main event approaches, all eyes will be on the clash between Reigns and Rhodes, eager to witness the outcome of their battle for supremacy.
Adding another layer of intrigue, Reigns will also participate in a tag team match on Night One of WrestleMania XL, teaming up with Seth Rollins against Cody Rhodes and The Rock.
The result of this match will determine whether The Bloodline will be involved in the championship bout on Night Two, introducing a strategic element to the proceedings.
Recent developments, such as The Rock’s attack on Rhodes during RAW and Paul Heyman’s revelation on SmackDown about Reigns’ involvement, have heightened tensions leading up to WrestleMania XL.
With all parties involved set to make appearances across various WWE shows, the anticipation for the culmination of these storylines continues to grow.
