But the addition of the Hell in a Cell structure and our first look at the heel Demon persona have breathed life into the program. Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler vs. But the Triple Threat also presents an opportunity for him to drop the title without actually losing if they want to get the belt off of him to position him as a challenger for the world championship. Sheamus for the Intercontinental Championship: This should be the most physical match of the show and an absolute war. They created a mega match feel and after a night filled with crowd pleasing finishes on night one, I expect the weekend to close with the feel good Hollywood ending. Asuka for the Raw Women’s Championship: The build to this match never got out of second gear.

The next phase in The Bloodline storyline seemed to be Cody Rhodes finally prevailing over Reigns, and Reigns’ Bloodline crumbling. And with Rhodes in lock-step with WWE’s fanbase since returning from a company he created to oppose them, live crowds unanimously sided with Cody. WWE’s long-term storytelling has been a lynchpin of the new regime, though Vince McMahon remains a wildcard as he seems to be inching closer to a return to creative. Rhodes was also banned from ever challenging for the AEW World Championship due to losing a stipulation match to Chris Jericho. Fans were almost unanimously behind Rhodes at SoFi Stadium, booing Reigns vociferously as Rhodes looked to finish his story in honor of his father the late great Dusty Rhodes. Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes in a shocking finish at WrestleMania 39.

Reigns survived by the skin of his teeth and leaves WrestleMania 39 with his record-setting world title run intact.

Rhodes crawled over to Reigns and covered the champion just as the referee recovered. Owens hit Reigns with a stunner and Zayn got a measure of revenge on the champion with a Helluva Kick that sent shockwaves through SoFi Stadium. The action took a spill to the outside as each man power-slammed the other on the ramp. An absolutely chaotic match, well fit for the rivalry involved and the Hell in a Cell moniker. Cody Rhodes: Rhodes relied on his amateur wrestling background and speed advantage to control his powerhouse opponent in the early portion of the match. Belair ducked a cloud of mist, Asuka side-stepped a hair whip, Asuka rolled into an armbar and Belair lifted Asuka into a KOD for the win. Balor was reeling in pain but managed to kick out of a spear from "The Rated R Superstar." The performers did a masterful job of telling a story of friction and feelings of betrayal between Sheamus and McIntyre. Balor found his way back into the match and drove his heels through Edge with a Coup de Grace. The champion powerbombed Sheamus onto McIntyre and subsequently powerbombed McIntyre for the win. The men's showcase match was a hard act to follow but the women put in a strong effort. The mammoth superstar tossed around Lesnar and effortlessly power-slammed him in the early portions of the match.

Money in the Bank is on the way soon, too, after all. 30 in the men's Royal Rumble match and winning it, just to get shooed in as the guy to dethrone Reigns, never vibed right. The Bloodline story started with Reigns abusing Jey Uso, so maybe that ends up being the finale. The parallel could be there eventually, but more notable is that's just modern pro wrestling. None of this means Rhodes is out of the picture, either. Along the way, The Tribal Chief retaining means there is still a real chance The Rock finally gets weaved into what started as a family-based storyline.

Cody Rhodes shockingly lost to Roman Reigns at WWE WrestleMania 39 in what felt like a booking decision made by Vince McMahon.

Not only can Rhodes deliver as an on-screen performer both in the ring and on the microphone, but he’s also a great public representative for WWE who can easily be positioned as its most marketable star. A quick scan at the rest of the roster makes it clear that Rhodes, despite minimal opposition to his massive push, was and is the one. Because even if Rhodes ultimately wins the title at some point, it won’t have near the impact that it would have had in the WrestleMania main event. But at WrestleMania 39, WWE made it clear that Reigns is still viewed as the guy. The fans wanted it, and he’s the ideal choice to do it. McIntyre was already solidifed as a top star, and all of the greatness from Reigns, Zayn and The Bloodline after Clash at the Castle like never would have occurred had Reigns already been dethroned. Now, Rhodes is left to regroup and try to dethrone Reigns once again. [WWE’s biggest draw](https://wrestlingheadlines.com/wwe-hall-of-famer-says-cody-rhodes-is-the-current-biggest-draw-for-wwe/) by Hall of Famer Mark Henry, Rhodes has—at the very least—entered that conversation. It needed someone new to be the face of WWE moving forward. But Rhodes, no matter how predictable of a choice to dethrone Reigns, was clearly the best one. An historically dominant leader of The Bloodline, Reigns won the Universal Championship all the way back on August 30, 2020 when he pinned Braun Strowman in a triple threat match at Payback. There was a lot of support for

It feels like the Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes WWE championship match at WrestleMania 39 had the wrong ending.

of all cities on a card with just six matches. 1 contender for the women’s tag team titles. Lashley, after his program with Bray Wyatt disappeared from WWE TV, had to settle for being acknowledged as the Andre The Giant battle royal winner and Knight was nowhere to be found in L.A. He and Balor – who needed to get staples in the ring to close up a huge gash in his head – put on a violent and fun spectacle. But instead of reestablishing The Demon in a big way, it felt more like a pageantry prop to warrant cool entrances for Balor and Edge. He retained the Intercontinental championship in the physical banger of a match we expected from him, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre. I get having Reigns beat him at Extreme Rules with a wonky finish, and I guess the babyface Edge needs to go over inside Hell in Cell to end their feud once and of all. It was almost as if the whole match and build – including have Reigns beat Sami Zayn at Elimination Chamber – was a giant troll job of the audience. It allowed Solo Sikoa – who had been tossed from ringside earlier – to come out of the crowd and give Rhodes the Samoan Spike and set up Reigns to deliver a spear to win. They finally had two babyfaces they could get behind and neither one of them was the one to beat Reigns. The match itself was everything you want from a WrestleMania main event with swing after swing of emotion, starting with seeing Rhodes’ family on screen in WWE for the first time – including his daughter Liberty giving him a hug during his entrance. He can scratch and claw his way back to Reigns again, maybe at SummerSlam or next year’s WrestleMania or WrestleMania 41 if WWE can get The Rock and Reigns in the ring either this summer or in Philadelphia in 2024.

The match itself did not disappoint, a back-and-forth affair that was filled with highs and lows, near falls and edge-of-your-seat action.

All three big men had the crowd eating out of their hands with several near three-counts and displays of athleticism and brutality. Unfortunately, McMahon was injured while attempting a leap frog, tearing his quadriceps muscle, incapacitating himself. The crowd exploded with delight when McMahon, who hadn’t been seen on TV in more than a year, appeared from the back. It was revealed after the show that one of the young dancers had lost her mother that day, but still came to be a part of the event to honour her late mom. Both men delivered impressive bursts of offence in a match that featured the aforementioned ladder as well as chairs, tables and kendo sticks. Balor was cut badly mid-match when Edge threw a ladder at him, striking him in the head. The crowd exploded when Edge pulled a ladder from under the ring. The match reached its high point when Rhodes missed a kick, inadvertently striking the referee, who fell to the floor. Reigns, who had been champion for 945 days, almost unheard of in the modern WWE, came slowly to the ring as six pianists played live on stage. Article content
