And STILL — Roman Reigns simply defeated Cody Rhodes to retain the WWE Universal Championship on Sunday … in a match that was nothing wanting an on the spot traditional.
The two began the struggle with an intense stare-down earlier than going at it … and Cody took the short benefit, forcing Roman to take a breather exterior the ring.
After a pep discuss from his supervisor, Paul Heyman, RR received again within the ring and into the motion … shifting Cody round at his will.
The match was as backwards and forwards because it will get from there … and the Bloodline, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn even made an look.
Of course, Roman was the Universal Champion for over 900 days … however the match meant much more to Cody, who beforehand advised TMZ Sports he hoped to do one thing his legendary household hadn’t carried out and win the principle occasion at WM.
Cody was clearly emotional after the loss … and lots of felt he did greater than sufficient to win.
