The Undertaker recently shared his thoughts on Cody Rhodes’ decision not to challenge Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL, a moment that left The Deadman feeling disheartened.
Rhodes, set to face Reigns in the main event for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, initially declined the opportunity, leading to confusion among fans about WWE’s booking decisions. Later, Rhodes reversed his decision, but it didn’t sit well with The Tribal Chief.
The WWE Hall of Famer expressed his reaction to the pivotal moment when Cody Rhodes opted not to challenge Reigns at WrestleMania XL. The Undertaker mentioned that he was invested in Rhodes’ promo and felt his heart sink when Rhodes declared, “… just not at WrestleMania.”
The Undertaker understood the implications of that decision, realizing what was about to happen. Despite any personal sentiments, he acknowledged the business aspect, noting the significance of having The Rock face Reigns at WrestleMania, a bout that promises to be monumental, featuring Samoan versus Samoan.
The Undertaker’s insights carry weight, given his extensive experience and legendary status in WWE. Reflecting on his history, The Deadman recalled his WrestleMania 33 encounter with Roman Reigns, where Reigns defeated him in a high-profile match.
Despite that loss, the two eventually teamed up at WrestleMania two years later to face Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon. The Undertaker’s association with Reigns adds depth to his understanding of the dynamics involved in such high-stakes matchups.
Having been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2022, The Undertaker continues to offer valuable perspectives on the wrestling industry, drawing on his decades-long career and numerous iconic moments in WWE history.
