Cody Rhodes, the American Nightmare, recently discussed the possibility of Jey Uso dethroning Roman Reigns at SummerSlam this Saturday. In an interview with Uproxx, Rhodes shared his thoughts on the outcome of the Jey vs. Reigns Undisputed Universal title match. He expressed that if Jey does manage to end Reigns’ epic title run, he will not feel an ounce of jealousy.
Rhodes emphasized the significance of whoever manages to pin Roman Reigns and walk away with the WWE Undisputed Championship. He stated, “It’s almost a moment that I can’t tell you how that will feel or I can’t tell you how that will look until we see it because I think it’s just starting to dawn on people how significant it could be.” If Jey Uso achieves this feat, Rhodes commended him, saying, “Not a shred of jealousy in my body. That is as pure and good a man as you can find.”
Furthermore, Rhodes acknowledged that if it is not Jey or himself, the individual who does manage to take the title from Reigns will be remembered forever due to the weight of the story they are trying to tell. He admitted, “If it ended up a situation where I was able to get back and it was me, I wouldn’t be prepared for that onslaught of feeling. Because fans, we feel. I’m a fan as well, so when I’m watching him and this unbelievable reign that he’s put down, it’s like this conqueror of old. It’s now a time period. Roman has a timeline, essentially. This is the Roman era because of how long he’s held on to these things. It will be very significant and, gosh, the man who does it. That man is a special, special person in the record books.”
