Roman Reigns, on the other hand, is on the verge of completing an entire year as the double champion, and his reign has been nothing short of dominant. Reigns has been a force to be reckoned with ever since his return to WWE last year, aligning himself with Paul Heyman and forming The Bloodline stable.
Reigns’ title defenses have been few and far between, but each one has been a testament to his dominance. From defeating Daniel Bryan and Edge in a Triple Threat match at WrestleMania 37 to beating John Cena at SummerSlam 2022, Reigns has left no doubt that he is the top dog in WWE.
Now, Reigns faces his biggest challenge yet in Cody Rhodes. Rhodes has been on a roll, but Reigns has been unstoppable. If Rhodes wants to become WWE’s top champion for the first time in his career, he will have to bring his A-game and find a way to overcome The Tribal Chief.
John Cena vs Austin Theory, another mouthwatering clash
As for Austin Theory, he will defend his United States Championship against John Cena at WrestleMania 39. Theory has been wanting a match with Cena for a while now, and he will finally get his chance to prove himself against one of the greatest of all time.
All eyes will be on WrestleMania 39 as WWE’s biggest stars collide in the biggest event of the year. Can Cody Rhodes dethrone Roman Reigns, or will The Tribal Chief continue his reign of dominance? Only time will tell.
