WWE SmackDown: The Rock Returns to Face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania
Reigns makes his way to the ring ahead of Rhodes’ scheduled appearance on WWE SmackDown. He doesn’t want to recap, he would prefer to move forward. But there were things said on WWE Raw by Rollins that he can’t let slide. He calls out Rollins for saying he has “the” title, noting that he’s beaten every challenger for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Rollins calls himself “the guy” but he can’t be running around in his wives clothes and call himself “the guy.” He calls himself the guy, but three months in he broke his back trying to carry the show. Reigns states than even though he works ten times less than Rollins he still makes ten times more than him. He’s not going to beg Rhodes to pick him for WrestleMania but Rhodes can either be the very best number two in the industry or he can take a crack at number one again.
Rhodes says he imagined the conversation a bit more private, he asks if they can have the ring to themselves. Reigns obliges and sends everyone outside. Rhodes says he was cheated. He had Reigns more than anyone has and he thinks Reigns knows it. Rhodes acknowledges he disagrees with Rollins calling it the Hollywood title. It was the same title Bruno Sammartino held and the one his dad held that was swiftly taken away from him in Madison Square Garden. Rhodes asks him what he thinks finishing the story means. Reigns says everything in the company belongs to him but is finishing the story taking the title away from him or taking everything away? Rhodes makes it clear that he’s coming for Reigns — but not at WrestleMania. One of the men that was counciled, Reigns knows very well.
The Rock’s music who has fueled rumors about a WrestleMania main event with Reigns as he appeared on WWE Raw a few weeks back and teased fans, asking if he should take a seat at the head of the table when he leaves the arena.
