For the first time since WrestleMania 39, Roman Reigns appeared on SmackDown, and needless to say, he wasn’t too happy with The Usos, who lost not one, but two matches to Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens with the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships belts on the line.

Last month, Cody Rhodes failed to dethrone Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania. This was a defining moment for Rhodes because he failed to finish the story that he came back to WWE to complete. After his defeat, WWE made it seem as if we’d see a rematch between the two […]

Cody Rhodes is a wrestler who is driven by passion, not cold calculation.
